Antiwork

Yesterday it was the straw that broke the camel’s back.

I work in hospitality (not a hotel, but I'm keeping details vague) and I have a laundry list of complaints. Unsafe working space, long extra hours with no compensation, no meal breaks (mandated by law), poor training, added unwanted responsibilities with no higher pay… Then yesterday. Yesterday. My manager had the fucking gall of of scolding me because I refused to provide free labour. I had this sudden realisation that I deserve better than this. I deserve better than a place where I get constantly made to feel like I am not as good as everybody else because I don't provide free labour and make mistakes when information and training come in bits and pieces and I am constantly asked to perform above and beyond. I'm fed up and I have a (perfectly legal) plan in place to make them regret their behaviour.
