Would you use your personal phone for business? 

Sometimes your job asks you to do things that you’re not comfortable with. There are often sacrifices you have to make in order to keep your position and to maintain your good standing in the office. But you don’t have to completely go against everything you believe in just to have a paycheck. You’re allowed to stand up for yourself when you need to. You don’t have to bend to every rule in your rulebook just in order to maintain a steady income. But that’s what this worker was up against when they started at a new job. They shared their story on the antiwork subreddit, where commenters gave them advice. 

You don’t always know what a new job is going to entail until you get there. You may be able to try and suss it out in the interview process, but you never truly know until your boots are on the ground. And then it might make you feel like you’re too late to make any big changes. You’re so far in that the only way out is through. That’s what happened to this worker, who found out a little too late that his workplace was going to disrespect his boundaries. He thought that his workplace’s policy was unfair, and asked to be exempt from it. This didn’t seem like it was going to happen, though. Let us know what you think in the comments below.
