Antiwork

Look, I don’t like working as much as the next guy. But when things are dead dead, I feel like I’m going crazy. I go threw Reddit, YouTube, Instagram, and so on until I’ve seen everything. I’m good for the first 2 hours but after that I’m just like “I need something to do.” It’s like a time out for a kid. Your just sitting there for ever!

I feel like this sounds stupid, but I'm having a hard time grasping how anyone can be okay with the state of labor in the world. How do I deal/cope with immense medical debt, student loans, and rent all while making $12 an hour. I'm breaking my back everyday and still by the end of the week I have pennies to my name. I look for new jobs but they all have qualifications I don't meet and can't afford to get. Debt collectors are calling me (for the medical bills) but I have nothing to give them until my paycheck comes in, and then I won't be able to pay for gas to get to work. It's an endless horrible cycle for me right now where as soon as I have a hundred in savings, I have to spend it as soon as I get it. Is the answer just…

(in countries where paying for higher education is the norm) So you're telling me our country needs an educated workforce, but doesn't want to pay to care for and nurture it's people to provide that educated workforce. So you're telling me I more than likely have to go into debt to get a higher education just to be able to use said education, to fill a “necessary” position in our society to REPAY the debt I accumulated to fill a necessary position in this society. So you're telling me you don't even want to provide free healthcare to ensure that the educated workforce is healthy enough to repay back the debt they were forced to take? Make it make sense. You won't. It's a cycle that keeps the poor poor and behaving in a crab-like mentality(” While any one crab could easily escape, its efforts will be undermined by others,…

The salary I have with my master's degree in Europe would be considered very low compared to what you guys earn. Like, you salaries are literally the double of what we get. I make 40k euros a year in Germany, and that's considered quite decent where I live, even with a master's (I earn more than 67% other Germans for example) I must have done something wrong somewhere

Gas prices continue to rise, most products are becoming harder and harder to get, and we’re still being paid $15 an hour. at what point will corporate greed subside so we can start thriving again, or will it never happen? losing all hope at this point.

I’ve been out of work for almost a year now. I quit my last job to work on both my physical and mental health as both were poor. I have $0 income coming in. I currently live with my ex/friend who makes enough to support us both. I spend my days bringing my friend to/from work, cleaning the household, going to medical appointments and exercising/stretching. And yes I do just chill and watch a movie or something at other times during the day. I want to first say I’m extremely grateful for my friend and I know how much of a privilege this situation is for me. I do not want to ever take it for granted. I will also say that if you ever have the chance to take a break from work, especially for your health, do it. 10/10 would highly recommend this experience so far, I feel…
