I’m a successful CEO of a company with around 200 subordinates, or ‘subs,’ as I call them. Last week was my birthday and every sub was supposed to contribute $100 so I could get new sails for my boat. My floor manager just told me that some of the minimum wage workers were refusing to chip in. That really hurts my feelings and I’m worried about how this situation might impact workplace morale. Is there a way I can pay the freeloaders less than minimum wage? Or at least dock their pay until they contribute the $100 for my birthday? I’m at my wits end and I hope this subreddit can help me remedy this situation. What will my friends at the sailing club say if they see me with the same old sails I used last week?

Millenial's, and generation Z mostly will never retire from working. Your whole life will be at a cashier passing change back, and forth. So what are you even going to do about it? If you have your destiny in mind at your seventies how will you make a life course correction? You have spent months scrolling anti-work, and the lost generation subreddits. You know what I think of most all of you? That you have a turn on for feeling dread in your future. You don't want to change your doom; nooo… You just want to get off from it.

Hey everyone, I'm a Norwegian on welfare due to illness, but for many years I've been hoping to get back into full time work so I can be like everyone else, but I've been wondering if this might be a mistake? I was hoping to hear what you all here at r/antiwork think, I've seen posts from this community occasionally, and was hoping to ask if it's worth trying to get back into full time work? Or should I just sit back and enjoy my life on welfare? I get app. 30k USD from the gov't each year, and I'm allowed to earn 10k USD on top of that each year (converting app. from NOK to USD). If I earn more than that I get less from the gov't next year, but it evens out every year. I also own a small apartment thanks to being able to take up…

So every service and retail jobs always have a need for 2nd shift workers as they never need any 1st workers because all the workers just snatch them right up.

I sustained a workplace injury and was off for approximately a week. Management used my sick days, vacation days and even manually keyed in regular pay during my time off, without consulting me. I was planning on using workplace injury benefits to cover time off, to keep my accruals. I went through workplace benefits and am receiving payment from them, so now my workplace wants to deduct their mistakes from my next paycheck. They want to give me back the sick and vacation days and outright have me pay back (in the form of taking it from my next paycheck) the day they paid me for as a normal working day. Can they do this? What suggestions do you have?
