Antiwork

I had to temporarily quit my job because of mental health reasons. I’ve been trying out new hobbies and recently found out that I like doing landscape photography. There’s something magical about sitting outside listening to the birds sing and feeling a gentle breeze blow against my skin. Podcasting seems like fun too having midnight talks with friends or hell even random people. So I’m curious as to what y’all would be doing. Edit* sorry for the grammar

I enjoy my job but I also want to retire at 40 (15) years I’m thinking of living in my car and having no children. I wa r to move to California because it’s a dream Yes it’s like a billion dollars for everything Yes it’s crowded Yes gas is like 50 bucks a drop Yes taxes are 500% But it has culture history food and so much I want to explore I’ll give up a home so I can live in California plus it’ll allow me to use a gym daily to get me in shape

I am curious as to what jobs everyone does that are the worst, or got them here. Myself personally I have worked 6 different jobs and personally a warehouse worker easily the worst. Potentially advise to others if possible to figure what jobs people ought to steer clear of or what jobs out there, or what goods are the best or most rewarding.

Not sure if this is the right subreddit, but seems like a good place to start- will delete if it’s not! (New to Reddit) I recently (about a month ago now) got injured on the job, and I want to quit but don’t want to lose the workman’s comp benefits and them paying for the treatment. (Regardless of how slow they are, it’s the principal of the thing). I’m lucky to be young enough to still be under my parents insurance, (thanks Obama) I work in an “At Will” state, and can provide more context if necessary, but just wanted to see if y’all could provide some info. Thanks !

So just browsing in work searching apps, I’ve noticed a new trend, lots of companies are hiring recruiters, “talent seekers” and other similar positions. Is this a new strategy to get workers? Instead of paying more or improving working conditions, they wanna hire specialists to trick people into working for them? I might be being paranoid, but it is a huge trend right now.

Yes start recording them and post it on social media. They must be exposed for how deplorable they are as human beings.

Recently I cut myself dicing mushrooms for a stir fry. My first thought as I saw the blood welling out of my hand was Wow that is really red. The second thought was I wonder how much this is going to cost. When I went to the local urgent care center, I found out they did not take my insurance. It would be $250 dollars out of pocket if I wanted to see their doctor. I had precisely $424.76 dollars in my bank account and was unsure whether this was worth parting with half of it. My other options were to wait days to see an in-network doctor, or sit for hours in the emergency room. I couldn’t sit in the emergency room for hours even if I wanted to; I needed to get to work to pay for my health insurance. As I sat in my car to put…

I see other posts on other job subreddits of people who work from home but only do 10 hours of work a week. They even earn 6 figures for their salary. To me, this sounds like a dream job to have.

Without fail, every time I try to have a conversation about the high cost of living and rising rents someone always spouts the Law of Supply & Demand to me as justification for these high prices. But now, since there is a shortage of labor, why does the Law of Supply & Demand no longer apply? But, the thing is, there's been a shortage of labor for a long time now. It's only people being more vocal about the cost of living that's brought the issue to the forefront. But businesses won't acknowledge the Law of Supply & Demand when it comes to labor. From their POV, people are “just lazy or ungrateful”. IMHO this proves the Law of Supply & Demand is, and always was, just a bullshit excuse to raise prices to make more profit.
