“Wildest part of labor history class”
Work for Costco
I'm a senior manager for a large government contract and feel as though my perspective on anti-work is more a view of a more balanced legislative requirement across the board on lesser working hours per week, creating living wages, keeping wages in line with inflation etc. However I'm seeing a lot of people who are anti work because they have worked for atrocious bosses/companies and nothing more than that.
