Antiwork

My already soul-sucking job that has me carving out 9 hours a day just announced that going forward we’re supposed to be dedicating an extra half hour and that this will be rigorously enforced with a clock-in/clock-out system (we didn’t have one before), and I’m livid. Naturally, there’s no mention of a pay increase or any such because apparently “this is what we should’ve been doing all along”, even though we’re paid peanuts and there’s next to nothing by way of incentives or anything of the sort.

I worked my way up here precisely so I wouldn’t have to be subject to this sort of Big Brother scrutiny and this is just beyond annoying.

/end rant

should they though??

(unless they jumping through more hoops than a sick person could reasonably do)

Coworkers hard at work defending this policy as usual.

Before there was unofficially no sicks days allowed. But they hired a bunch of new staff and I guess they're not used to no rights yet 🙈

Now all bargaining units of PSAC have reached a tentative deal, to be detailed and voted on by members.

From psacunion.ca, one notable difference I noticed between this and the other agreements was an increased flexibility in working hours, allowing members to request beginning their work day as early as 6 am.

First half bright, 2nd half dark. Supported by research

boss recently put up posters around the office encouraging us to never take sick days and always prioritize work over everything else.

There is a strike and nobody offered any info as I walked past them.

As a Redditor, I have anxiety and can't begin conversation with them.
