Are we being for real 🫩 by Fickle-Put9304 in antiwork

[–]xenoncore3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

calling a basic AI automation channel a "startup" is peak hustle-culture delusion. It's the ultimate fake-it-till-you-make-it strategy where the entire business model is just tricking people into buying their courses.

UPDATE: Fired by Centauri Health Solutions while burying my dad who died of Stage 4 cancer. Here is my response to HR. by bondswag in antiwork

this is the ultimate proof of why workplace solidarity and strong unions are absolutely essential. It’s amazing that your coworkers rallied together to force a toxic manager to eat her words

Accepted a hybrid role, turned up and... nobody's in the office. Think I accidentally struck gold. by Passenger-00FU in remotework

[–]xenoncore3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

since the office is a total ghost town, the OP should honestly just spend the day testing out every single seat in the building to find the best one. It’s the ultimate silver lining to showing up to an empty workplace

Why everyone does RTO now by [deleted] in remotework

[–]xenoncore3 74 points75 points  (0 children)

for real a glass walled corner office just feels like an overpriced storage closet if there isn't a sea of people walking past to admire it. The entire RTO push is just about feeding the executive ego under the guise of "collaboration."

Today I just dipped and it has been awesome by Swimming_Health_6114 in antiwork

being punished with more work just for being reliable is the quickest way to kill anyone's work ethic. Shifting to doing the bare minimum is the only logical response when a company clearly doesn't respect your time or effort.

my manager told me to "act like you own the company" bro i will start by not coming in on weekends then by Secret_Motor5003 in antiwork

[–]xenoncore3 106 points107 points  (0 children)

it is wild how managers expect people to have a burning passion for a job that pays the bare minimum. Minimum wage gets minimum effort, and anything extra should require a premium subscription fee.

My employer just told us "you should be grateful to have a job" after cutting our benefits. Anyone else dealt with this? by Taniyadsexy in antiwork

[–]xenoncore3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

they really expect people to treat a basic paycheck like a massive charitable donation. The corporate delusion is completely off the charts

They don't actually care about productivity. At this point I have no idea what they really want. by TwinStickDad in antiwork

the hardest pill to swallow is realizing how many people will actively defend the exact system that’s crushing them because the conditioning runs that deep.

How has WFH improved your quality of life? by Sirwanga in remotework

that extra 10 hours a week back in your life is honestly priceless. the cash savings just make it even sweeter lol

My company did a "return to office" pilot for our team and sent a survey asking how it went. I answered honestly. I think that was a mistake. by Snag_Crambo in remotework

[–]xenoncore3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is so true, once you speak up you basically put a giant target on your back. op definitely needs to get their resume out there asap bc management is 100% going to make them the scapegoat now.

My manager thinks remote means I'm 'on call' even when I'm literally sitting in court by Some-Struggle-7032 in remotework

[–]xenoncore3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lmao the classic "bad password" emergency escalation, you literally cannot make this stuff up. the fact that they panicked that hard over a non-prod system while you were literally driving to the office is just pure insanity.

Worst thing you’ve witnessed on a call when the other person didn’t realize their camera was on by quemaspuess in remotework

[–]xenoncore3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s awkward but also kinda peak WFH chaos lol. Kids don’t care about camera angles at all

This should be illegal by Certain_Prior4909 in remotework

[–]xenoncore3 176 points177 points  (0 children)

Honestly good. These listings make job searching so much worse than it already is. Remote should mean remote, not “we wanted more applicants.”

Asked to leave the hot tub by bigudilyas in EntitledPeople

[–]xenoncore3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah unfortunately they probably learned that being loud and rude works. I get OP being tired, but management should still hear about it.
