Antiwork

I’ve taken almost a year long break from work. Here are my short reflections.

After taking a break off work due to medical reasons, I reflected a bit on my experience as a worker and came to the ultimate conclusion that there is massive gaslighting when it comes to bosses and higher ups. I know the word gaslighting gets thrown around, but this is seriously the only word I can think of when reflecting on all my jobs. Bosses interrogate you like a cop if you take a few bathroom breaks. Bosses try to guilt you into working more hours, even after explaining several times you cannot take more hours. Bosses allow bullying at work and throw it under the rug. Honestly, work just feels like I'm on the edge of being humiliated and punished. I'm not looking forward to going back.
