Antiwork

Short time reader, first time poster.

Got a raise last week. A whole $1/hr. So now I make $16/hr. Wendy’s down the road starts out at 17/hr, mind you. And I worked in a warehouse with building materials (aluminum gutter, vinyl siding, hardie board, etc.) Every time I brought up a problem they replied with, “why you always complaining? or “you complain so much.” So I stopped complaining. Branch manager text me last Tuesday at 10:15PM. (He knows I wake up at 4:50AM to be at my job at 6.) I never answered his text, 1) don’t text me at 10PM. B) I don’t want to go to lunch with him.

Monday and yesterday he tries to guilt trip me about not answering. “You’re breaking my heart not wanting to go to lunch with me!” (Out loud in front of my coworkers and customers) and I say, “yeah. We need to talk about that (both Monday and yesterday.) Issues that I’ve brought up kept happening. Finally, today I catch my branch manager with his door open and he’s not on his phone. I knock on his office door at 3:30 today and ask, “Hey, you got a few minutes so we can talk?” He replies, “yeah, I will in a bit.”

Okay, cool. I said I’d give him thirty mins or I’d leave. I gave him 35 minutes and he hadn’t come to find me or call me over the intercom. So I clocked out and left. I’m not going back tomorrow.
