Not sure if this belongs here but I’ve been following antiwork for a while and I must say I’m so on board with pretty much everything. It’s changed my perspective on work culture and I’m so here for it.
As a working woman, a mom of two small children, antiwork culture SPEAKS TO ME. I was previously working a decent job with decent pay but the clock in and clock out work culture was killing me. I was constantly checking my time card and eating into my sick/vacation time to compensate for kid schedule and appointments. Among other things, I was unhappy.
ANYWAY I got a new job and my boss is so much more chill. I don’t have to clock in or clock out. I got a 40% raise. I have freedom to do what I want when I want with minimal checkins and I get to work from home whenever I want
I hate work culture in general and I feel like my new boss just gets it. I’m so happy that there is a light at the end of this dark tunnel and it’s been very liberating.
Work sucks, but there are these gem jobs that don’t suck as much. If I’m a manager of people one day I will push the same freedom schedule that my boss has set for me. It’s possible, it exists, let’s make it the standard!
