Antiwork

Are we hyper exaggerating the amount of bad employers/companies/jobs?

I fully understand that MANY employers/companies/jobs are absolutely shit and cannot be justified at all, some jobs shouldnt even exist. But I also worry about the risk of hype exaggerating the frequency and scope of these shitty conditions since we can easily fall into that rabbit hole at /r/antiwork. It makes you feel like most of them are shit without realizing that sub like this is only collecting the experiences of the bad ones and not representative of the whole “work” market/culture of your region. It could give a person deep depression and maybe even stop trying. What do you think?
