Antiwork

Anti work isnt new. A story from father to son.

My dad told me a story 20 years ago, about when he was on a construction crew back in the 60's. He was a dump truck driver building a new highway. One day while the whole project was stopped waiting for the forms to be put in , his foreman said “pick up rocks and throw them off to the side if you want to get paid otherwise go home for the day”. He and a couple other guys needed their paycheck so they did it, the young kid said “screw that” and went home. That young kid ened up getting the foreman job when it opened up shortly later. My dad quit the next day. Never go out of your way, just do your job your hired for because it doesn't payoff.
