Antiwork

I assumed this community is anti-exploitation, not anti-employer. Am I wrong?

For a long time, it seemed the main posts in this group were horror stories employers, managers, job posts, interviews etc that set out to exploit and mistreat employees. Now I see posts about “not” jamming locks and destroying cash registers, or complaining about not being allowed to fuck around at work, or about cheating an employer regardless of its practices. I just want to clarify what type of community this is. Are we against any organization trying to trade your time/effort for money? Is there a presumption that there is no such thing as a good boss that treats their employees with respect, allows for work life balance, and compensates them fairly? Or, are we simply demanding that companies who exploit their workers be held to task and forced by legislation or collective action to end such practices?
