Still / anymore
Can I say "I'm still not working there / I still don't work there" as an alternate for I'm not working there anymore?

You can say them but they don't mean the same as I'm not working there anymore. In the two alternaltives you give you have never worked there but the listener expects that you may be/will do. You could say, "I no longer work there" however, "I don't work there anymore," is the most natural.

They're like opposites. still means that something alread
