Whose going to research new technologies? Whose going to create medicine? Whose going to build buildings? Whose going to build cars and other transportation? Whose going to ship your packages? Whose going to grow and/or raise your food? Whose going to run your supermarket? Whose going to manage all this stuff? Whose going to literally do anything? I don’t see the purpose of antiwork. You need to have work in order to maintain a successful and healthy society. It’s not like we have robots to do all this stuff for us yet. It would be unproductive and maybe even set us back if everybody tried to stop working. Some people may dislike it but we need to to survive. If you don’t like the work place, fight for it to improve and people’s wants to be heard. Not to eliminate it altogether. Just found this subreddit so please let me…

The title causes a bit of a knee-jerk reaction for sure, but I'd love to hear if anyone else gets this vibe. I have worked a while now in several industries. Some shorter, some longer, some trades. Even a few start-ups that were getting their feet under them. And it felt like the more these higher-ups got into 'business', the more detached they became with everything else. Heck, they might even be fine to have a beer with, but once in a meeting or behind closed doors, they changed. Or, at least, appeared to. Currently I work for a casual trade gig. It's not terrible and it pays the bills. But the owner feels absolutely bi-polar. One week he will talk about the importance of mental health, managing stress, etc, then the following week turns into a tyrant with zero emotions and squeezes everyone into micro-managed stress balls complete with…

Scenario : TL asks for details about a low priority problem, first taking problem with not being included in ALL emails, despite issue being verbalized with tester between the tester and myself. I send details to TL and Team only by pasting in technical explanation so to why (about 1 paragraph per problem) TL has calls meeting to tell me how my email has too much detail, and he wouldn’t be able to FW things like this over to Manager, Business, or others, and requests I revise my approach. … YET it was REQUESTED to urgently send them the details about the problem. Honestly it’s laughable, but wondering to what level it’s best to respond if future silly things like this arise. Honestly tho, I most probably need to care less, and QQ more … but to be faulted by giving over detailed summaries, from MY notes, spelling out the…

Just got a letter from our city that they “accidentally” have been charging an extra 0.5% in taxes for the last 15 years! And they have no intention of refunding any of the money because of an Ohio law stating no there is a one year statute of limitations on “Unauthorized taxes”. (You mean theft?!?) I’m so livid, especially because our streets are nothing but potholes and downtown is trash, and we only have a volunteer fire department, but they are trying to justify what the money was spent on. I cannot wait to say my peace at the council meeting they are having about this issue in 2 weeks!

Several news stories and videos about China’s recent population decline and how this will negatively impact the global economy. Part of it is the younger generation not wanting to have kids because of the crazy unethical working environments for those kids/young adults. Go figure. Yet people only care how this will raise the price of everything made in China
