how do you think this anti-work movement will affect job satisfaction rates?

I'm writing a paper on the anti work movement and the positive effects it can have on individuals working lives. I wanted some of you guys opinions on how you think it would contribute to job satisfaction?

6 Hour Interview…

Listen to this itinerary, yes you heard that right, that I was sent an ITINERARY. I arrive at 9:45am and close at 2:30pm. 10:00am – My presentation begins 11:00am – Technical Interview I 12:00pm – Leadership Interview 1:00pm – Technical Interview II 2:00pm – HR Interview 2:30pm – Closing Interview I don't understand why you feel the need to interview 3 times and then on the fourth, you make me take off a full day (10 to 2:30) is 5hrs. I'm not gonna spew about how I need this job but it's so annoying that this has been ongoing for almost month. They are going to pay way above what I'm making now, but I'm so tired of employers feeling the need to imply so much pressure. Why are we coming to this? Why must I use PTO for a whole day just to be able to interview? Why is…

Before a Vacation…

Boss requested a couple of new reports and project plans Thursday evening before my vacation starting Saturday when I already stayed late on Thursday solving last minute rush request for advice. I had work planned out today already so I did that, and honestly didn't see her request until after I had shut down the computer. I only saw it on my work phone when I was turning on the Out of Office message. Maybe a year ago I would have turned my computer back on to put together the reports she asked for. It would've been another 2 unpaid hours. Now? Yeah, no, I didn't see it :/ Sorry not sorry. If you weren't keeping tabs on my work until the day before I left on a vacation, that sounds like a you problem. (Of course I've been working on those projects, but I only report when I need…

Contemplating putting my two weeks in.

I currently work as a Shift Lead for the Service Desk of a large tech repair company. I originally joined the company in 2018 as a Service Desk Analyst. At that time I absolutely loved the job and all the great things I learned, relationships I nurtured and the great culture. In 2019 that all changed when we got bought out by a larger company. Slowing over the past 3 years the company has become more and more caustically corporate. It's equated to a lot of suits coming in, not understanding business and trying to force us into a mold we don't fit into. Very much a shoving a square peg into a circle hole situation. My last straw today was when I came to find out that one of my fellows leads had a meeting with our Senior Manager. He proceeded to dangle a promotion over her head until…

I’m at a loss with my job (rant/sort of seeking advice)

I work at a local small business. We’ve got two stores in different cities, and i am the assistant manager to one of them. I was hired in december of 2021, and began my management position in April. This is my first retail job, by the way. The job, simply put, is kind of ass. I’m twenty years old and am a creative person. I was in school for an english degree and took a break for my mental health and to collect money. Before the management position I was making $15, which I think is pretty decent for a small business? When offered the management position I was going to shoot for twenty, as I not only am the “assistant” manager. I post to social media, do extensive research on trends, and develop plans to boost our brand. I was given a two dollar raise. My friend was given…
