The ultimate goal

So we all agree the ultimate goal is a fucking utopia where we don’t have to work. How do we get there? In my opinion it’s through Unions. Currently the working class hero is getting reemed by low wages. While the billionaires get richer off our hard labor we get splattered against the wall. How do we stop this? Unionize. Screw management, screw the billionaires, screw the exploitation. As work becomes less and profitable to them the rate of automatization will increase and eventually labor will become a thing of the past and we can get on with the utopia. Anyway Unionize and screw them. It’s the first true step to antiwork for all

If you don’t think the power has shifted to the labourforce, I recommend watching this video. Made by “the other side” (see horrific opinions at 29:50), it’s full of real statistics and trends that show just how much they are against the ropes.

Blatantly illegal anti-union activity is blatantly illegal.

Not only does Starbucks selectively close unionizing stores over the phony notion of covid outbreaks… they also force all non-unionizing stores to stay open IN SPITE of the risks of covid. Its like Starbucks doesn't care about its employees or its customers. Covid-flavored, anti-union, coffee tastes like fascism. No thanks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbBBSrtc918 https://www.reuters.com/business/retail-consumer/starbucks-suspends-vaccine-test-requirement-after-us-court-ruling-2022-01-19/

Work perks

My employer, a multinational food conglomerate gave us a product labeled T-shirt and baseball hat, with a warm cold cut sandwich wrapped in plastic wrap when everyone complained about our low wages. Thanks *******

Its just crazy how many Businesses are fine ridding that fence between making more profits and loosing everything because they underpay and treat all their employees like garbage. Those “peasants” actually run your business and could shut it down with 1 decision made together.

Fuck people who say “peasants”, and eat the rich. No1 deserves to go without so that any 1 person can have 200billion dollars.

I asked CFO during an interview if he had any concerns about my background his response, “the fact that you have no background”

During the final interview with the CFO I said the usual, like what my day to day looks like, what accomplishments I had, and what personal projects I’m working on. After I was done speaking he starts saying that this position would require me to work overtime, (without overtime pay since this is a salaried position), and weekends. In my mind I was like, this already sounds like conditions I don’t want to be in. Then at the end he asks me if I have any questions. I normally like to ask this, “do you have any concerns about my background?” so I can gauge how I am doing and I know what to work on for the next interview. Then he proceeded to respond with, “the fact that you have no background”. I stayed calm and then left the office. As soon I got into my car and processed…

Why I follow r/antiwork

I’m a Gen Xer, on my second career in a second unionized environment. I’ve worked both sides of the contract in one career, our union members supervise another unionized workforce, and I later became a manager there. In the other it’s strictly on the labour side. So I’ve seen up close, the shitty things management and labour do to each other while the customers finish up the trifecta in a 3 way knife fight. All of that aside, no matter what, there were rules and any worker could, if not a lot else, expect to be treated fairly and equally by the company. The only difference is your seniority date when it’s time to crew. So since my early 20s, I’ve basically never worked for, answered to, or been the voice of “the owner”. The owner in one job was is an ever shifting conglomerate and their shareholders, and the…
