Antiwork

Earlier this year I got a part job working remotely. The job consist mostly of receiving 4 different types of documents via email (sometimes pictures, scanned or pdfs) and I have to take information from those, put it into an excel sheet and reply to the email with a “confirmation of receipt”. It's super boring. Few weeks after I started, I made a bot that does all this work for me, without supervision. The bot even knows when it should start and stop working based on the roaster I receive my email each week. Yesterday, I got an email praising “my” work and how I was the fastest worker on the team lol. Got a promotion.

So I work at a fast food place, I am a 17M who works two jobs to support my family, and I go into work at 4, I go directly there from my other job or school and it’s the earliest I can make it, then I work until 10:30 and get out by 11 because of closing. However no one is provided a break unless you are scheduled to work more than 7 hours. If you’re a math genius you would notice that I work 6 and a half. That being said, I chatted with my manager explaining my situation and how that would leave me last eating at noon and not again until 11. So We arranged that I would get a 15 minute unpaid break to eat really quick everyday. Fast forward a couple of days, this work day has been ass, I’ve been given crap at…

Am an intersectional feminist. So when I see BIPOC women running in the office, becoming CEOs or whatever, guess what? I don't wanna celebrate! Cuz you are just going and shaking hands with the same oppressors who oppressed our ancestors and us too. Just that you got lucky and became this “self made billionaire woman” or whatever, you're betraying your community…like what?! And that's feminism?! And women romanticizing this grind culture is now another trendy thing. At least for their Instagram lives. Doing the same thing as Cis hetero patriarchs and white supremacists might feel powerful, but don't fall for this lie. Now I try to stay quiet cuz I don't wanna sound like I envy another woman's success. But babes, you got successful cuz there's a whole bunch of workers under you that work their ass off to make you look like this self made woman. 🤧
