I'm not anti-work, I'm anti neoliberal capitalist BS work that only serves to make somebody else wealthy at the expense of my health and plummeting living standards Vs rampant inflation.
I thought working in non-profit sector vs private sector would be different but in many ways it is worse, most charities in the UK have been taken over by predatory elites who pay themselves ridiculously high salaries, pensions and performance bonuses with lower scrutiny than in shareholder companies.
My charity CEO earns £450k plus huge pension and bonuses. His bloated exec team are on £150k+ and same bonuses and huge pensions .
They justify low pay and high workloads for employees as “we are a charity” but don't apply this rule to themselves.
Like execs in private sector organizations, they do barely any work that has any value – mostly photo opportunities and sleazy deals to help out their mates, as well as the occasional diktat for employees to fill out yet more pointless forms and spreadsheets that serve no actual purpose .
In the UK unlike many countries you cannot easily buy/ squat on land to create an off grid community, and we don't have any real 'wildernes' so I'm curious if and how people in the UK have managed to escape capitalism (not including those wealthy enough to just buy their way out).
Those who managed to do so; what did you do and how did you do it? Did you move abroad? If so, where?
