Antiwork

I'm in Texas. Tested positive for covid this morning, they said if I'm symptom free, I can go back Thursday… my boss said “We'll see you Thursday” I was taken to the hospital about 6 hours after that and treated for sepsis/dehydration on top of covid, but they said I need to wait until July 1st. Can my employer say “No, you originally said Thursday, be here Thursday”? Or is there a law that a doctors note overrides a company?

I’m genuinely asking. Is there a metric that points to certain levels or markers in societies that have revolted against their governments? A “tipping point” of societal inequity that just becomes too omnipresent to ignore by “X” percentage of the population? It really feels like we’re nearing that point to me…All of the systemic problems that have become a part of the public consciousness that just feel like they’re being ignored or actively worsening; -The exploitative and uncaring nature of capitalism that leads to massive wealth inequality via wage stagnation and profit hoarding by corporations -The normalization of living paycheck to paycheck because of chronic debt from student loans/rent/car payments/etc. -Our collapsing and unsustainable healthcare infrastructure as brought into full view via the Covid pandemic -The rise of homelessness and mental health problems -The continued ravaging of our planet’s natural resources and acceleration of climate change -The continued treatment of…

We promised we'd strike if Roe was struck down, FAFO style, and now it's no time for the “find out” part of the program. Promises kept. Eleven critical employees and I will not be going to work at the factory on Monday. Without us, the factory won't run, or will run so badly that it may as well not run at all. Orders will be delayed, deadlines will pass, critical systems will not function, and the end of month quota may be missed outright as well. The cost to the company will be significant, and they will be extremely unhappy with us. So be it; the rights of my fellow Americans is more important than the bonuses and overtime we'll lose, and the discipline we'll no doubt receive individually. Some of us, myself included, may be terminated outright. I'll say it again, so be it- if there was ever a…

Those that say “quit!” Ok, then what? How will you pay for everything? The hard reality is that that’s just how it is What are you going to do otherwise?

I'm writing this to see if I'm in the wrong and how I could've done better So a few days ago I started feeling sick, took some medicine and waited to see if i felt better, but nearing the end of the day i wasn't feeling much better. I called my manager and told them i wouldn't be able to go to my shift the next day, they said I should've notified it earlier but thanks for the heads up anyway (i didn't call earlier because i didn't want to call off because of a “false alarm” so i decided to wait it out). Next day rolls along, honestly I don't feel horrible by this point but I'm sure I'm sick and do an at home covid test, but it came out negative. Not much later, I get a call from another supervisor asking if I'd be able to make…

Guys this is all fucked. Spending time on here and collapse has shown me just how fucked up everything is. Were not PEOPLE to the elites. To them we are numbers, casualties, profits, expenses, prisoners, etc etc. All the rich dont care if we live or die, Bezos, Musk and all of them know just how fucked up the conditions are in their workplaces. Everything from pissing in bottles without breaks to mining in dangerous conditions for electric battery parts. They simply dont give a fuck. The politicians same thing, governments have never worked for the people and they just go along with the elites. This has been the case since ancient Roman times and before, they keep us distracted with bread and circusses. That sounds like a lot of bs right, lets dive into some actual stats and data. ​ -Worlds billionares have more wealth than 4.6 BILLION people.…
