I have worked with multiple people who consider themselves to be “ideas people.” I’m sick of this shit. If I never had to worry about logistics, practicality, planning, tracking, budgets, timelines, communications, and assessment, I’m sure I’d have time to sit on my ass “thinking of ideas” too. The ideas is the east part. Making shit actually happen is the actual work. How do people get away with this shit? Infuriating. And they’re usually the highest paid. Just a joke.

What happened, anti-work generation?
I watch videos like this one (https://youtu.be/B_ocfDhf610) posted by this Amazon driver and it makes me a little sad. I thought that we as a society had a little momentum going towards quality of life in the workplace, on the heels of the ideals set by young people today. I thought the founders of the anti-work movement were finally standing up for themselves. But all I see in actual day to day life are younger workers bowing to any and all demands set before them by employers. I would literally rather live under a bridge than work under the conditions described in the above video. Yet the average age of an Amazon driver is in the mid-20s. I've personally put off having a family for 20+ years already – largely due to these continuing economic conditions. It's no exaggeration to say I would rather take to the streets than perpetuate…

Seriously, I cannot fathom how this all doesn’t end in civil war or complete nation wide riots and unrest. Literally every single store, every business I have been to simply doesn’t want to hire. They are all dead set on running skeleton crews. Every place I go to: ”Do you guys need help?” Employee gasp ”Oh my god please we need more people so bad I’ve been working doubles!” NEXT DAY WITH THE MANAGER ”Im sorry I just don’t have any hours to give out.” Fuuuuuuuuck offfffffffff. HOW MUCH LONGER UNTIL THE WALLS COME DOWN PEOPLE? Am I legit, the ONLY person here surviving on fucking literal bread, butter, beans and rice? Can we band together finally? Either they join us or……. Feathers and tar?
It wasn’t as dramatic or interesting as I’d have liked it to be, but I did it! I had a trial shift at a new place in a different industry a few days ago, and it went really well but I didn’t hear from them. Today I went into my now-old job 2 hours early by accident, and my boss refused to send my coworker home so I could stay (for reference: I can’t drive so I walk everywhere, and it’s snowing severely and super icy in my area) so I walked/slipped to a nearby park, where I texted the person who scheduled my trial shift at the new place. Lo’ and behold, they offered me the position! So I walked right back to my old job, gently placed my key on the counter, and said “if I don’t do this right now, I’m going to walk in front of…
