Antiwork

Slavery: 1. Take all power and property from the majority 2. Force them to work tirelessly to support your wealth and greed 3. Give them just barely enough food, shelter, and time off to survive and continue working tirelessly Capitalism: 1. Take all power and property from the majority 2. Force them to work tirelessly to support your wealth and greed 3. Give them arbitrary paper with your friends face on it 4. Take half of their arbitrary paper back once a month and give them just enough food, shelter, and time off to survive to continue working tirelessly Edit: a lot of people are saying modern day capitalism isn’t comparable to any brutality of past slavery. This doesn’t have to JUST be compared to highly racist, abusive, and controlling 17th century slave owners. Heard of the Roman self enslavement system? Sounds like modern day job commitment with some of…

Today I spent most of my day spiraling with what I’m almost certain is overthinking. About eight months ago I took on a role that I for sure knew I would excel in, however, it quickly became the most crippling job in my life. It was as if someone had wiped my brain clean and I lied my way into the door. I lived in a constant loop of guilt paralysis. Guilty for the mess I had inherited. Blaming myself for not being able to understand the convoluted processes that were implemented well before me. The expectations that maybe I had put on myself were seriously crippling. Everyday, I lived in a cycle of boredom. Where I would just disconnect and go off in a daze rather than force myself to continue this never ending cycle of boring task. Since starting this job, my creativity had literally been zapped. I…

So I have a really good job. Ngl worked my ass of after graduation to find something. Many of my classmates who graduated a year ago are still unemployed. It’s six figures and my industry is in the shitter so jobs are v competitive. I don’t have a competitive GPA or internship experience, so got lucky. Anyways, the thing is, have ALWAYS wanted to take time off after school to reset and get healthy (school was v hard for me). Then this happened and feel guilty/scared of what’s going to happen if I leave. Need to pay bills and don’t have an apartment, car, or anything. But want to take a year off to fix my fucked up sleep schedule and severe depression. Keeping an 8-5 is so damn hard bc only sleep a few hrs a night. It’s already making my physical and mental health so much worse. But…

Finally putting my 2 weeks in and leaving a toxic work environment, I’m really sad because I did like the company just not the center I worked at, my boss was every toxic to everyone there, by not letting people have time off for death in the family, emergency from family or coworker themselves, by refusing to take doctors notes and scaring people from every taking a day off from sickness/mental health issues, I was the only person who was willing to stand up to her in return she prevented me from making money at my job, to write ups from me having issues with that with her, her refusal of giving me copy’s of them on top of it, so the last straw was a verbal warning, to the point another employee got involved talked down to me after forcing me to sigh…. Then re continued the conversation the…

…and the working class is asked to fight for “their” country…what are they going to tell us we are fighting for? I've gotten nothing from this country I want tol fight for, they can burn this fucker down.

Soon, I enter state supervised mediation with a former employer. The case is dual filed as the situation evolved on a federal installation. This state meets certain criteria, so the U.S DOL is allowing the state to handle it. I do retain the right to appeal to the U.S. DOL. The mediation is a zoom call. I was asked for documents, position statements, and the charging document. I have already been informed I have gained the right to bring lawsuit into a court of law. The situation is quite serious as it pertains to harassment and retaliation due to a OSHA report and a separate and unrelated workman's compensation. There were threats made, and these threats came to pass, an arrest was made, and this resolved in local court. The company I believe had been slandering me throughout their business network denying me any relevant positions for a number of…
