I am a retired former business owner. I tried my best to treat my staff well, pay them fairly, and create a good working environment. I'm not sure I always succeeded on that last point and I wish I found this sub earlier. I agree with so much of what I read here.
In reading the sub description, “getting the most out of a work-free life”, I have questions.
I'm Gen X and we were raised to be good little cogs. I broke the cycle a tiny bit by being an entrepreneur but not by much. My generation and background, apparently, leave me with so much to unlearn. Please be kind as I'm trying to learn.
What exactly is a work-free life? How can anyone survive without an income? Is it really anti-work or more anti-being treated like shit by the powers that be?
I get being fed up and wanting out but is there an actual path to getting out? I guess I'm asking how antiwork can possibly work.
