I want to apologize and be open with you all. When I got a job out of college I felt like I was set. I bumped into this group on Reddit a few years into my job. At first I did think it was a bunch of lazy people who didn't want to work. It wasn't until years later when I wasn't getting raises while the cost of goods was rising and lost unemployment that I understood what antiwork was for. I fell for the 9-5 grind and even though I picked up a job again I am very open minded about the antiwork concept. People shouldn't have to work long hours or two jobs just to make ends meet. Rent and the cost of goods have gone out of control and I've seen how greedy companies have been since the pandemic. I really hope some day companies and the people can reach a middle ground where everyone is happy or satisfied with the outcome. There would no longer be “quiet quitting” if the employees are happy, paid well and treated fairly. Then businesses would get better employees as a result for actually caring for their workers.
