Antiwork

The left seeks to wipe it's hands clean by interacting with the political system. Movements and demonstrations refuse to demand for actionable change. As movements like anti-work continue to draw mainstream attention and intellectuals, they become infected with the very institutional values that will forever prevent us from emancipating ourselves. As any movement grows it eventually becomes part of the system itself and therefor harmless to it's overall structure. Earth First was a radical environmental movement of rough-n-tumble rednecks cowboys who sabotaged bulldozers and mining equipment to prevent destruction of habitats they believe should be conserved. They were willing to risk their lives and freedom to do something about it. Liberal intellectuals were sympathetic to their cause, joining the movement, but also at the same time castrating it. It no longer was a movement of action, but demonstration, policy advocation and lobbying. It had been rendered cationic without an arrest…

As the title says, I have been given a chance to gain a promotion at my job. The pay increase is shit and they will add more hours and responsibilities. I plan to leave the company in a few months but everyone in my life is saying to just accept the offer to get some extra money before I go. Just wanted to get some more opinions on this.

Hey, everyone! I usually lurk and only comment on this sub but lately had an experience that I thought you all may have an opinion on or even get a kick out of it. I’m a registered nurse (have been for 14 years) and have been applying to all kinds of WFH/tele health positions. Last week, I must’ve put in about 12 applications alone. I immediately got a text back from a company, it was one of their nurse managers who wanted to set up a time for a phone interview. I was excited and thought that I might finally get a nursing position that I could WFH. I asked if we could set up a phone call the following day because I just got home and was putting a ton of groceries away and wanted a little time to brush up on my interview skills and get focused. She…

For a bit of context it is a remote job for a financial company. I decided to call the client a bit early because assuming they had time in the morning. And the disgust/annoyance in their voice wanted me to drive me to the brink, with saying I do not have time/”very upset you (I) messed it up. For more context, it is not my job to communicate with clients (surprise, surprise that's someone else fucking job, yet I did it because it's technically my job to make sure it gets done). The coworker who is supposed to relay information and etc did not do it correctly and did not follow up. Yet my ass is on the line. I should have stated that it is not my job to reach out to clients plus the fact they refused to be on the call with me is their own negligence.

I can't stand this. I dont want to effing work here, why would I trick someone else into doing it. Oh and they raised the starting pay to $15 this year ( a 20% increase ) and didn't raise anyone elses salary. The sick thing is i got hired on 20 years ago at $12. Billion dollar company , no layoffs , no raise in benefits, just constant paycheck if you go along with the program.

Management has lied from the start, putting full time on the listing just for him to turn around and say he does that to get applicants, One of my co workers is constantly rude and belittling me And I got a great 9-5 in my field of study So why am I so nervous

Feel like venting somewhere. Working for a call center as a TL and the workload is simply unbearable. They add up more and more. The schedule is terrible as well. No organizational skills at all. Everyday I am planning my tasks as I have to get done way more than I am capable of and the upper management still adds more tasks and changes the schedule everyday. Been in this situation for a year but the last 6 months it got worst. I feel overall depressed and today I got a panic attack too. On the other hand, I feel guilty for not being able to do this job any longer and I keep applying for other jobs meanwhile. I can't believe I let myself destroying my mental health because of a job. Thanks for reading.
