Antiwork

I think people that don’t like r/antiwork are people that don’t understand the hardships when it comes to working

I think for the most part if people were to see “antiwork” they immediately go to “lazy”. Which is the not case. Having spent some actual time here I've noticed a lot of posts are valid complaints. Sure there can be some that are “silly”, but every subreddit has some posts that don't fit. From what I can tell on here people are tired of the conditions of work rather than work itself.

That you must be lazy if you can't do 45 or 50 hours. Just because “you can” work that much doesn't mean you should. It's not good mentally. It's not good physically. It's not good for relationships. The only thing long hours are “good for” is for the greedy corporations that yes while they still have to pay you for working long hours if it nets them more money they will overwork you.
