Category: Antiwork

Are y’all involved in in person organizing? I’ve been feeling recently that I need to participate in some discussion and action/protest with people in my area. R/antiwork is great but there’s only so much healing and solidarity that can happen in a virtual community. Any advice is greatly appreciated

So, you guys remember how in the tv shows the boss would always visit the employee's house before a big promotion etc, and it was always this big ordeal. Why was that even a thing?

I'm looking for job situations that are remote and don't require more than an hour or less of hands on time every day, or preferably only every week. I keep seeing stories of tech savvy people getting a repetitive job and automating it with one or two programs and not really doing any hands on work afterwards besides a quick quality control check each day, or people getting a job and hiring it out to someone in a lower cost of living area to do for them.

My fiancés sister (our roommate) tested positive for Covid last Tuesday morning. I found out that afternoon and my fiancé and I were then required to quarantine for 7 days (The next day, Wednesday, being day 1).

My fiancé then tested positive yesterday. I informed work that quarantine would need to start again and I wouldn’t be able to return to work until next Monday. I received a call disregarding that information (information directly from the Queensland health department) and work informed that I would be okay to return…
