Hi y’all! I am a journalism student who is working on a semester-long project on the rise of unionization and the changing work culture in the United States. I would love to engage in 15 minute interviews with union workers over the next couple days where I could see what you think about the changing work culture of the US! Please Message me if you are interested! This may be a long shot but I know that this sub has inspired many to join unions, I want to know why.

I started my first job out of college over the summer at a corporate engineering firm, and I already feel like I can’t stand the idea of going back into the office on Monday. The pressure and corporate bullshit is really getting to me. It pays well, but it’s taking a real toll on my mental health. I feel like I can see my life laid out before me, and it’s just endless hours at a desk typing away on pointless spreadsheets. I feel like I need to quit and just find something fun to do… I’m in my early 20’s and there’s so much I want to do while I’m still young. I have been telling myself over and over that I’ll just suck it up and work hard then someday I can get fridays off or something, but my optimism is really starting to run out. I think…

I know it’s insane but I like the job I have and it’s enough to get by I’m scared if I leave I won’t like the new full time job. But I also am worried if I don’t take it I’ll regret leaving the job where I like everyone. I am so torn and only have a week to decide really but I’m leaning towards staying where I’m comfortable.

Why is it OK for companies to monitor employees working from home? If a worker is able to get 8 hours of work done in 2 hours than who cares how they spend the remaining 6. Companies should only care about output not how much they are being a seat warmer.
