Antiwork

Hey y’all, long time lurker first time poster… wondering what your thoughts are on this. I recently got hired at a large university (USA). My start date wasn’t for several weeks (during which I was still fulltime at my old company). During this period I was expected to attend an hour long orientation training, as well as turn in my employment forms (w4, etc), set up my work email account, set up two-factor authentication etc… I’ve run into a bunch of tech issues with my devices and it’s taken me hours to figure out. I have to go to an appointment with HR to turn in the forms and have no idea if i will be getting paid for that either. This is the highest level job I’ve had so far so I’m wondering if this is normal. I’ve always done this type of thing at the company and on…

I've made several comments here in the anti-work subreddit. However this is my first actual post here. I was given 10mg of Sprinkle turbo (I think?) THC at my local dispensary the other day. You mix it in a drink and it's supposed to work within 20 minutes. I'm no stranger to getting/being stoned, but I've never had the balls to do so while at work. And while I usually do 25-50mg edibles (I don't smoke) on my days off… I don't think 10mg (it's hybrid of Indica & Sativa) is going to bother or get me way out there. As for my job, it's an overnight CS position where 95% of the time nothing actually happens. I also work in a room by myself at the moment and apparently will be doing so until at least May! I spend my working ours here on Reddit or watching YouTube! It's…

So.. I started working at my first job not too long ago and as a full time university student, its kinda been difficult managing time. Way too many all-nighters to count. I got this job not too long ago and I enjoyed it at first because my coworkers were nice and one of my managers were really nice to me. Its kind of a hard work since I often work in the kitchen and I almost get no breaks for 6 or 7 hours depending on who I work with. I also work at the front which means I definitely don't get breaks but thats fine because I don't like feeling like I'm not doing anything. The first red flag was that there were wayyy too many people quitting within a week. Some were terrified of the bosses and now that I know a lot of my coworkers, everyone agrees…

I used to work for a staffing agency and it is so grimy what they do to people. They will put up job postings and then spam call candidates for other positions nit related to the job post. They will false promise that a job is temp to hire and have people quit their other jobs with false hope they will be hired by the company. They make up to 70% of what you earn per hour and use car salesman like tatics to trick clients into paying the money. They will forget to tell you what is needed on the first day on the job (ex. Steel toed shoes) and then blame you in front of the client. Not all staffing agencies are bad but the one I worked for sure was.

Should we collectively say “nope”, you gotta lower tuition or forgive this debt? Maybe then, we will return.
