Disclaimer: I don't mean to discredit any other worker who's currently being underpaid and overworked in any other industry. I just wanted to be a voice for childcare/aged care workers as I haven't seen many posts acknowledging this. The wealth gap keeps growing and growing. The working class need to stick together and hold CEO'S and other higher ups accountable. It isn't right. CEO's wouldn't be anything without their workers. Idk if this constitutes for an anti-work post, but I just find it disgusting how grossly underpaid and overworked these workers are. They're literally the backbone of our society, but are treated like jokes. Honestly, how tf are CEO'S of aged care and childcare facilities paid so much? Shouldn't that money go into the pockets of the workers? Or into new equipment? You'll find that most childcare and aged care facilities are using out of date equipment. Hoists are typically…

I’ve been a chef for 25 years now. And we all know the restaurant industry horror stories. It’s 90% of the content here. Restaurants and retail. Well I finally found the job where the value the workers. All the workers. Dishwashers making $25 an hour that have been at the job for 30 years. You read that right, 30 years. Full benefits, vacation, PTO, great insurance. And yearly better than inflation raises. I just took the executive position, I was shocked that not only was it an hourly position with actual overtime but the rate is amazing. $55. They handed me a corporate CC and my own golf cart day one. Permission to spend $1000 decorating my office. 3 weeks of PTO day one with 5 weeks after a year! You mean when I’m stuck at work for 16 hours on Christmas I’m actually being paid extra for that hard…

Dear antiwork, you’re SOOOO right! /s
But being right doesn't matter. You are just not effective. Your strategies and your PR are what are fundamentally flawed about your movement. You aren't packaging how right you are about the state of society, capitalism, and the working class in a palatable and easily transmissable way that will spread across the world and that will get the results that workers desperately need and deserve. Less than two million of you? That's not even worthy of a billionaires passing thought. They are still sleeping quite soundly tonight. Antiwork, your focus on being right while not employing strategies that get meaningful results will be the death of your movement. If being morally superior is all that matters to you then I guess you can resolve yourselves to the annals of history in exactly the same way as Occupy Wallstreet. Just a blip…a mere historical footnote. ..an interesting factoid on trivia night…
https://la.eater.com/21575422/vespertine-chef-jordan-kahn-fine-dining-los-angeles-workers “Balancing trays of meticulously plated stoneware while gracefully marching up and down multiple staircases was challenging, but doing so a hundred times a night on tiptoe — to muffle the sound, as dictated by Vespertine’s service routines — was proving to be impossible. “I began to have serious issues with my feet,” Alex said. The treadless leather shoe hugged his size-14 foot like a too-small ballet flat, and he began finding blisters and blood at the end of each service. Eventually, even the ibuprofen he routinely took before and during shifts stopped alleviating the pain, and outside of work, he began to walk with a limp. That April, when Alex informed Kahn of his injuries, he was provided with a different brand of soleless flats. They also battered Alex’s feet, so after enduring several more pain-ridden services, he decided to wear his own black shoes. Kahn noticed them…

Liable & Slander
I had been working at a place for almost 3 years before I quit because of harassment Coworkers would claim that I was acting inappropriate to them and spread this around where I live. My employer did not investigate these problems to find the truth because so many were filed they assumed it was happening when it was the reverse. My coworkers would ask me for favors like covering a shift or some pot. But when I asked to hang out with them, they would file that I was pressuring them to do things they didn’t want to do. I am a shut in and do not like going out because I have ADHD and most of the time sensory overload gets the better of me so asking them to chill was the only social interaction I would get. Now I’m having trouble finding a job or having friends because…
