I’m a regular member of r/antiwork. I’ve campaigned my legislatures to create better work conditions, more time off, etc. I share the same work based morals you do. This subreddit is full of racist people. The amount of times I’ve seen white people having bad work conditions compared to modern day racism is beyond sad. I just got into an argument with somebody comparing beyond blonde with racism. People comparing our current system with 1700s slavery. Work conditions is something that needs to be changed, obviously. But in doing so, maybe don’t compare it to racist. The amount of antisemitic comments I’ve seen. When discussing the disgusting bills going around, people compare them to the Holocaust. Clearly, trans genocide is real. And it clearly needs to be talked about. But let’s not pretend we are currently sending trans kids to concentration and/or labor camps in the US. Lastly, every one…

I’m the only non-Caucasian person in my office. Boss signed me up for a company wide DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) team. I assume this will make me responsible for leading these discussions in my branch. I don’t find it appropriate that they signed me up for it, and don’t want to hold that responsibility.

I get so sick of these pointless comments always pointing out restrictions on age discrimination in the us (mainly how it doesn't apply to young people as far as there are no legal protections for them) Who gives a flying fuck? Is it not age discrimination just because our government hasn't decided to protect those people? I'm gonna stand up for young people I work with because no one else is going to, and they ARE being discriminated against, and they DON'T know better. Look, it's bad enough we work for these places in the first place. Don't help them with your “Well actually, the government doesn't care about t h e m” horse shit. If you think that way, you may want to ask yourself why you trust the way our laws work and if you find that trust to be well-placed; consider visiting a different subreddit. Employers are…

I applied to a job that was advertised as fully remote after in-person training that would last for about a month, depending on how fast I learned. I made it known during my initial interview that I was looking for something closer to home compared to my last job or a remote job. Then during the interview, I was asked if I can come in once a week and work in 2 departments I would work 4 days remotely for 1 department and 1 day in person for the other department. I agreed because I would still be driving fewer miles compared to my previous job (I was a hybrid worker at my previous job working 2 days in the office and 3 days at home and I was driving about 28-40 miles per week and my current job would be a total of 26-36 miles to come in once…
