40 Honest Tweets About Work Where People Said Everything That Was On Their Mind

Then they hide their assets even more.

Who the hell cares what people do in their personal lives?! As long as it doesn't affect their work then MYOB!

And stop cutting hours.

Can I have a job?

This is so sad, but heart warming too (regarding the colleagues).

Amen!

Yes! The system is so corrupt

RIP

Very true

Nothing builds self-esteem like money in the bank!

It is engrained in the American culture that people shouldn't be paid for what they are doing but they are paid according to some arbitrary system where people who have spend more money on education get paid more for whatever they are doing. Yet somehow, they are not deemed "essential workers" in times of crisis.

He forgot to mention- "Make money hand over fist for the company with barely a bit of recognition or an increase in pay". I'll just assume he was at his character limit.

Good point

My fav is when youre asked not to tell ("we cant force you not to share but we would appreciate if you dont") to "maintain a positive work environment"

Damn skippy!

I think it's the other way around. The MEN, are "worried" and "ashamed" that their girlfriends and wives, are out-earning them.

He's probably teamed up with his chemistry teacher and is making meth somewhere...

Yeah, preventing potential murder is a pretty good thing.

This one sounds quite interesting. Let's see the trumpsuckers turn this one down.

Nothing, because the jobs you're stealing are the jobs that no one wants to have. Some people rather be an unemployed Master of Dance than an employed garbage collector with a decent income.

Just like any other service provider such as the plumber, hairdresser, doctor etc...how is this confusing to any right thinking human being?

You pay peanuts, you get monkeys.

I was told I'd be a cleaning lady. I learned cleaners get paid more than me.

They found out that robots needs maintenance. Maintenance costs money. They also can break down. Repairs cost money. And if they screw up, they screw up big time. Big time screw ups costs a lot of money. It's stil cheaper to keep those underpaid wage slaves.

In reality you need both. I know people who went with lower offers because the company environment was better.

😉 when I was in high school working my first job in retail my boss would send me to the beach to get him an ice cream from a particular shop... He knew full well that there was no way to get the ice cream to him without it being completely melted. I would get him an ice cream from the shop next door before I came back from a 2 hour break on the clock. It was his way of giving me time off on the clock because we had no customers and it was too nice out. I reminded him of his daughter and he was very fatherly to me. Thank you, Harley, if you're still out there.

Unless the office is literally on fire and i'm being contacted to retrieve my personal belongings, if my phone rings WORK after hours, it will get picked up tomorrow. The motto we had in the military was "is anyone going to die?". If the answer was no, then it wasn't an emergency. I promise NO ONE is going to die if I don't take a work call after hours.

This class should be required no matter what your degree is for

Oh no!!! How can anyone survive in such a horrible "Soshulist" h3llscape?!!

The interesting thing about this when - theoretically - these people are suddenly out of their jobs. In case of the CEO: nothing happens, the hospital can work for weeks before anyone notice that the overpaid guy is missing from the top. In case of the janitor: literal sh*tstorm 12 hours later.

Then why has his ACTIONS over the past 47 years benefit the big banks at the expense of the working class?

@Loty -- while what you said might be true, it doesn't change the conclusion the letter writer has come to, that buying a home for young people is impossible for most due to the costs.

But....but....that is capitalism working the wrong way round!!

Exactly!

Why censoring death ?

Especially since capitalism is probably at the root of said depression

Wait,,, in what century was car/home insurance $100/m and health insurance $20/m? I work for a national union and pay $75 every 2wks for health insurance and I am DAMN grateful it's only that much. $150m car payment,,, i guess so you NEVER can pay off the 2010 Hyundai.

Trust me, there are millenials and genz who are very much into the hustle culture. Every generation claims it isn't so and every generation has hordes of them.

AKA $0

Nice to see that Bert and Ernie, had a sense of humour.

Damn right.

Yup.

Or, listen to a crazy idea: work like everybody else for a decent wage, not for tips?!? This is only an USA issue, other countries rely on wages, the tips are only when a good service was provided, food was excellent, so on, not just a mandatory thing to do. When is the last time you tipped someone at the supermaket, citu hall for a permit / license, postman for delivering a letter?

Yup. And I've certainly noticed the rich think places like Starbucks and McDonalds are good enough to eat and hang out at, but the staff aren't good enough to be treated with dignity, and would be shameful if their kids worked there.

So many times...

Unfortunately in the USA it's more like being fired at.

and two cars.

And here I am thinking water every 4 hrs in a texas summer isnt nearly enough! Silly me

I'm quite sure when the founding fathers wrote the second amendment they never thought of guns capable of killing 50 people in less than 1 minute in the hands of certified psychopaths.

It's a process that everywhere else, at least in Europe, takes 5 minutes a year and 0$... Government sends you the information, you check it and click "Send", that's it....

I’d pay to see that....lol

This is gorgeous!

I keep seeing this, and it's using photos of the UK House of Lords, not any US senators.

Yeah! One big happy family...

And that's why in Europe delivery people are no longer legally considered "private contractors". If you're working for a delivery service you're an employee with all the benefits that European employees legally have and the employers legally have to pay for. Europe isn't going to allow American malpractices to rob low wage workers.

Work another 5 years and you'll have a pair of matching cups

"It's their job." Yeah, and it *already* sucks, why do you have to go out of your way to make it worse?

I wonder if there is some connection between who decides whether something is indexed to inflation, and who it is that benefits from campaign donations. Nah, probably not, right?

I was working in a department store (back in the 90s) and it was a very slow evening... so we only had three staff on the entire floor. A bit tricky to keep on top of everything, but there were few customers, so... I guess it worked. Anyway, I found that someone took a crap in the middle of the aisle, in the middle of the store. Right out in the open. Never saw who did it...

For fück's sake, enough with this boomer sh!t! I don't think you even understand the meaning of the term. Speaking as a "boomer", do you want to know what we actually did? We unionised, we went on strike for better pay, and for better, safer working conditions and we did it for the benefit of everyone. We marched for human rights and against apartheid. In the U.K, when people were still suffering from post-war shortages we created and built a world-renowned National Health Service so that no-one had to be wealthy to afford health care. We invested in apprenticeships so that people without the benefit of university education or an "old boys network" could become skilled in a well paying career. We demanded liveable minimum wages so that couples could actually afford to buy a house, pay for the mortgage, and raise children on a single income. Boomers did that. Just because a relative handful of decrepit billionaires are now calling the shots, you can't blame an entire generation.

Started not giving a crap and my performance scores have increased. Maybe that's the sweet spot.

Yeah, going door to door asking for a job is not how you get a job these days.

Ya know, I would actually prefer being a housewife. With a loving, caring husband, of course. I enjoy cleaning, tidying, decorating, organizing, running errands and making everyone happy. But at least at a job I get paid and have free reign of my own finances.

Oh no I was "essential" I know cause they gave me a keychain

and everybody clapped.
