I destroyed my back in my 20s. I worked 60 to 80 hour weeks. I moved things no human should even be able to lift alone. I served in the military. I worked in conditions on loading docks that were complete shit. Going to work when its dark, leaving when its dark, making $9/hr. It was garbage. But in all of those jobs that were hard as all hell I never stayed in one where anyone attempted to treat me even a percentage as bad as most of the OPs here in antiwork get. If anyone tried I stood my ground, however it ended. The fact that complete disregard to basic human dignity is the norm among so many people is unacceptable. Here I'm seeing people, particularly those just starting out, being treated like complete trash and being told to accept it. You don't need to accept it. Yeah you need money, but look around you. There are opportunities. This sub is popular not because no one wants to work but because no one wants to be treated worse than a rat. You got one life. The clock doesn't stop. Up to you how you spend your time you have left.
