If your boss gets mad because you’re quitting, it means you made the right call.

That with the limited number of jobs to accommodate for, changing monetary values and demand for goods and services, natural disasters and game changers, and fluctuating, unpredictable circumstances that change how something plays out, there is nothing about the job force that isn’t fluid and prone to putting you in some kind of shifting interdependent situation, enough that making the job scene a bureaucratic construct was a big mistake and that having career dreams is too oversimplified an expectation. I knew this to an extent but now I know the full scope.
Coworkers is not my friend. Someone being so sad when i left and got a better job lol.
Deducing whether a coworker is liked by all the other coworkers is unfortunately a very overlooked stepped of the hiring process that I wish would be there.
There is no such things as the employer will provide a safe working environment. They don’t care, it even more true when your safety cost them money.
It depends on the job type really. If it’s something in the food business, you are in a literal death trap every day in the name of some random person’s sense of taste, but if you’re in a humanity job for example, they can’t afford the mentality that would cause the work scene to not accommodate to you.
A humanity job?
I was referring to the field/category. Things like soup kitchens and daycare.
Humanitarian? Or care work maybe?
In college and trade school the field is called human services.
Oh good to know, thanks!.
I work in agricultural robotics… Our client develops a new harvesting machine, but is unaware of the real danger of it. My boss just want the things done as fast as possible. This expose us to danger. Not really a robotic cell, not really an agricultural machine, something in between, without any direct regulation to cover it because it is new.
Sorry about that. Hopefully they fix that and you live somewhere where they’ll be able to. In most relatively well-off countries, usually filing a complaint in court does the job.
The money is not worth it if you dont enjoy what you are doing.
You mean there’s nothing you would spend the money on that would give the money value?
It’s easy to get more money. It’s hard to get more time.
As someone who spent some time homeless this entire comment is bullshit haha
I also spent time homeless. Being broke fucking sucks, and it is hard to get out of. I was very lucky to do so and I know that.
But once you’re already employed, switching jobs just isn’t that hard.
That’s never been my experience, I work in retail so it can be tricky when you’re going up against thousands of other applicants and they usually don’t require experience.
What do you do for work?
I wait tables.
Interesting, I’ve definitely gone months applying for jobs and not hearing back for interviews or anything. I suppose location and sheer luck has a bit to do with it as well.
A lot of people don’t have a choice, though.
my mortgage begs to differ.
I would say," if you don’t find the work tolerable" and unfortunately that varies based on your options.
Can we get some new shit on here? This Reddit post has been shared more times on r/anti-work than stars in our solar system
The way we’ve structured work in the U.S. is a capitalist farce. We’ve been duped into working our asses off to make someone else who doesn’t care about your well-being a large pile of money. So, I get my work done, I don’t slack, but, I’m not going to go out of my way to do things for a company that would replace me tomorrow if I got bit by a bus.
What kind of buses can bite you?
The bad kind, you’ll know it when you see them.
This kind? :)He must live near Totoro’s catbus.
I don’t care if my company replaces me same day if I die. They should.
Don’t go out of your way for a company that will fire you if you get sick. That’s the big one.
That was kind of the point. Getting hit by a bus doesn’t necessarily kill you, but will put you in the hospital for a long time.
I love the image of a bus zooming towards you, the fear of being hit, the bus stops at the last second, you’re so relieved ‘whew’, and then it opens it’s giant bus mouth like jaws and CHOMP!
If you aren’t working for yourself you are getting ripped off.

You are more important than the company, put you and your family first.

If your company doesn’t provide a pension plan you have no reason to be loyal and stay.

Telework is an excuse for minimal working. Most remote workers schedule emails, get their work done quickly than spend the work day doing personal work on the clock.

Charisma is more important than performance for career progression.

Favorite employees are typically the easiest to be manipulated and taken advantage of.
Telework is an excuse for minimal working.
telework gives human beings their agency back. nobody, NOBODY needs to spend 8 hours straight doing emails
That is one of the benefits, minimal working. If you can get all your work done in half the work day, good for you.
Most remote workers schedule emails, get their work done quickly than spend the work day doing personal work on the clock.
That’s the biggest load of bs I’ve ever read. I work just as hard as my colleagues in the office and I don’t clock out after half a day.
Then you are doing it wrong.
Or maybe I respect my boss because he respects me so I don’t have a reason to fuck with him.
That is your choice, but your coworkers are getting paid the same and doing a lot less.
Or they just do as much as I do.
How is doing your work quickly in remote working an excuse for minimal working? If the work is done, where’s the issue?
From an employer’s perspective, they are wasting their money if you work less than the work day. Most employees waste their workdays in the office, stretching out work. One of the reasons why telework is failing is because, after three years, employers finally figured out that their employees are not working the whole day. From their point of view, that means you are unproductive because you could be doing even more and can handle a much larger workload. Employees obviously don’t want them to know that.
So the solution is to get them back to the office so they are forced to spend more time either being slowed down by their environment or pretending to work like before? I don’t understand the point. Employees are not going to magically transpose 2h of efficient remote work into 8h of efficient office work. The point of view is irational.

They’re not your friends, even if they act like that.
The management just sees you as expense factor and does not care about you except for how to get the most work done for the least amount of money. Your team leader does not care about you and only cares if their numbers look good. Your colleagues do not care about you and only see you as competition or the idiot they can give their work to.
If someone is nice to you they want something from you not because they like you.
Knowing enough of the process makes it incredibly easy to slack off, and that should always be the goal.
It’s suffocating to be in a middle management position because you get squeezed by the higher-ups and your own team. If the higher-ups make a decision that your team dislikes or vice versa, you’re going to be in the shitter with whichever party suffered every time even if you had the best intentions.
That everything I buy can be measured as totalCost/wages*0.82=hoursCost.
I love measuring things in hours.
Let’s assume I make 12/hr. Is 24 cans of soda really worth more (taxes) than an hour of work? 12 bucks might not sound too bad, but over an hours wages does.
Find a new job before those new owners take over the business.
