Antiwork

As the title says. I'm genuinely curious as to what people think on this one. I do not personally invest in any stock/share markets, mainly because I know exactly how these companies make their money: 1) Either by beating down the workers and paying as little as possible and creating the capitalist hell hole we live in today 2) By putting up prices of their goods/services to knock out any kind of pay rise workers may have gotten 3) Both of the above. Sure, I could make some money by investing, but I genuinely do not want to support these soul sucking companies/corporations. So the question is: In your opinion, if you invest in the Share/Stock market, are you part of the problem? If not, why not?

I work in higher education I received an email asking if I was still interested in an HR coordinator position. Then proceeded to ask me how my receptionist job at a research center relates to HR. Then they told me they are still coming up with the description. And if I am offered it I will still be an OPS employee and within the year I would be evaluated to see if I could be kept long term. I’ve been with this university 4 years and of course they try a new work day system that fucks everyone over.

I don't know where else to post this, so I'm trying here because I feel like I might get some good advice. Long story short I applied for a Customer Success Manager role at a company, it's the job I already do but in a field I consider a passion, I was very excited about the idea of working there (which is odd to believe), but believe me when I say I'd basically have been paid for committing to my hobby full time. The role as described was a Customer Success Manager role, no doubt, the role I was told about in the interviews was 100% an Account Executive, it was entirely sales based. No relationship building, no success based management, just upsell upsell upsell, and their entire measurement of success was sales and expansion. I came to the conclusion after my second interview Tuesday this time with the director,…

I hate society and how we all have to work to live to die , I just want to win the lotto and never have to worry about money and the fuckeduppedness of humanity. Crazy how you have to have money in order to not give a single fuck about money. Pray that I win lol but fr.

Hi, I've always been a quiet lurker here but this community made me realize after working 50h+ week that i wasn't paid properly and just busting my health at my job. Ultimately the multiple warnings of my doctor came true and im now stuck with crippling cervical pain and I had to take a sick leave for it. Ofc per the legal law of my country (eu) a good chunk of my pay is gonna be halved and on top of that my boss is planning to fire me but since he hates paying me or my coworker (we are understaffed btw we deal with around 1000 customer everyday and we are only 4 people rotating), he is trying to pressure me into quitting by myself so he doesn't have to pay me anything. I have to work with sharp pain going through my entire body everyday for hours on…

Migration seems like the logical next step. I am working toward moving somewhere like Portugal by 2032, where wages can actually pay for living costs and healthcare is taxpayer-funded. I'll gladly pay higher taxes if it means the government provides services and that allow people to survive. I already lose nearly 30% of my paycheck to taxes and get nothing but crumbling infrastructure, dangerous roads, and zero social safety nets in return. Why stay when the system has become rigged against the working class, instead favoring corporations, executives and political elites in a manner unseen since the 1920s? We pay more for healthcare and education and receive worse outcomes than most OECD countries. Why stay when boomers tell us to pull ourselves up by the bootstraps because they were able to mow lawns and pay for both college and a living space back in the day? Our wages in comparison…

I recently had my professional evaluation for the year. For the sake of anonymity I will refer to my secondary superior as “S” and my direct superior (my actual boss) as “P”. Its been a rough year, and I have done hard but rewarding work. Both S and P have commended me for my resilience throughout the year and frequently tell me I changed the atmosphere for within my position for the better. That was not the focus of my interview, however. P and S met beforehand and my evaluation was with P alone. It came down to the category “professional dress”. Its important to mention that all our contract/handbook says is clean, professional, and no jeans- nothing beyond that. P says “I feel that your dress is appropriate and professional, however S wonders whether or not you wear a bra some days”. I was dumbfounded. All i could muster…
