Ever since the interview gone to hell a few weeks ago, I thought about the nature of this subreddit as it pertains to the public eye. The public is not going to take a group of people seriously who define their goal in life as “not wanting to work”. As great as it sounds it will never gain mainstream momentum. I think everyone here does want to work including myself, but people want to get paid a living wage. Restructuring the name to something positive such as “pro worker” would be taken much more seriously by the public. Once you gain the eye of the public, telling the stories to them will come naturally. We tell each other stories on here and it is great to brainstorm, but those ideas need to catch on to the cashier at a 7-Eleven in the Bronx. They need to catch on to a…

But I would like the ability negotiate the set 6+% interest rate, that I had no say in, without having to refinance through private loan providers. And in a perfect world I would want the interest that accrued when I was still IN SCHOOL forgiven. I’m just so tired. May is coming.

The description of the sub is “A subreddit for those who want to end work” I'm genuinly curious what world you guys are invisioning and how you plan to get there. Like, are we talking about the world functioning without a single working human or is this all hyperboly?

Do we have any good instances of an issue that is reportable to the Dept of Labor, and if so, what does it look like and how do we go about doing it if need be? What is a commonly reported issue to the DOL? How do we file a report? Purely for educational reasons and discussion, so that I (we) can feel a bit safer

Context, I used to work in non profit. Now I’ve spent some time in for profit and the marketing world as a project manager. It’s a steady pay, but I don’t care for the work. I’ve been PT as a barista and genuinely enjoy the atmosphere. Although it’s stressful it’s more creative and hands on for me. I’m torn between a non profit opportunity again, and this new barista/cafe asst. manager role. The pay is comparable with tips, so besides choosing between types I want to compare the insurance benefits. Which do I choose? Or what should I ask myself when deciding?

Hi all. I’m a tech worker in my 20s and fully support the anti-work movement and proud be a part of it. My partner and I have regular conversations about stuff happening in this sub and recently we had a rather interesting train of thought. We were talking about what an ideal income structure should look like and wondering if gig type jobs like waiting tables, driving cabs, delivering food etc. were designed to be part time activities that you can do for extra money but they are not designed to be full time jobs that can help you fully support yourself/family. Agreed that companies like Uber exploit labor and something should be done about that. But going back to the original argument, how would the society change if all jobs no matter the skills/industry pay a livable wage with which you can fully support yourself? For example, imagine you’re…

I hope this is the right subreddit for this question. Basically I need to miss a bit of work so I can interview somewhere less shitty and I’ve exhausted my good excuses. Already pulled the doctor/vet ones. Right now I’m leaning towards food poisoning/stomach bug but I need help selling it. Already planning to skip lunch that day. Better suggestions?
