i have been working since my parents kicked me out around 16 and as soon as i hit 18 i started to work full time. i am beginning to feel worn down. even though i work a union job my position is largely considered third rate to them so our working conditions are secondary. the labor we create isnt even our own and the company makes us know that. my social life is gone and i miss my friends so much but they're busy with their own full time gigs. 40 hour work weeks feel like their only purpose is to beat us into submission and isolation so my labor can fill my bosses pockets. sorry if anything isn't clear, writing is not my strong suit.

Hopefully those jobs would be earth friendly. Until then, I’m anti-work.
“You’re just in it for the money?”
Why are people confused when someone says that the majority of the reason they're at a job is for the money? Like take a few seconds of thought, if a person has all of their needs met and has a comfortable life and doesn't need any money at all, they're just bored and want to do something with their time, what reason would they have to come work for you to just make you money? That person has so many options, charity or volunteer work, be a hedonist, get into art and music, become a shitty business owner and exploit workers themselves for more profit, but no ya know what that person really wants to do with their time? Be a cashier at gap.
