Antiwork

I live in CT as I know every state is a little different. So I was working at a place that overworked me incredibly. I had to work days, evenings, and nights each week and barely had time to sleep. One day at work I admitted to a coworker about being suicidal and she told my boss. I’m not mad at her as I was able to stay in the psych hospital for a week and I’m currently in a 6-week outpatient group therapy program. Also my blood pressure was 170s/100s in the hospital from the stress of the job. Luckily it has come back down since being out. I would leave the job already if I could but I need the insurance to pay for all this and I applied for state paid FMLA benefits. I don’t think I want to go back to the job but will do…

NGL I was actually very excited to work today, I convinced almost my entire team at my job to wear red today as part of the general strike against the Supreme Court’s ruling on Roe v. Wade. All of us are poor so we couldn’t take that day off. Unfortunately for me I had an extremely rough night last night and ended up getting sick as a result. I feel kind of bad because my at job, Mother’s Day is very busy. But I have to take care of myself and working a busy shift like that will make it worse. I told my boss(who is best boss ever) that I would try to come if I ended feeling better. Until then I’m sleeping.

Looking for legal ways to protect me and either my employment or my unemployment benefits, if I lose the job. I am a Maintenance supervisor at a hotel, one of the housemen(someone who strips beds and does runs supplies for the housekeepers) has had issue with me since I've corrected him on the proper way to use certain tools necessary to work here. After having some words one day were I felt disrespected I brought it to the managers attention. She called him in there as well, and at the time, on camera, he threatened to fight me and made actions like he was preparing to. His employment kept after that day, and I was told to “be the bigger man” 2 days ago, I was on the phone with another supervisor, the same guy who tried to fight me, was eavesdropping on my conversation. Trying to get proof, I…

For those who choose to live in capitalist society, they must produce for the bourgeoisie. This isn't an actual necessity, however. We produce so much food that a significant portion is thrown out and have so many vacant homes that the entire US homeless population could be housed ten times over, so the old Soviet adage of “he who does not work, neither shall he eat” simply doesn't apply anymore. Labor is therefore coercive, using the fears of hunger and homelessness to scare people into submission. But how does this differ from other societies? Because capitalism has ensured that there are virtually no other alternatives. The commons of Europe, where anyone could build a house, cut down trees, or grow crops, completely outside of the feudal system, are gone. The policy of homesteading in the US, where people could gain ownership of land once they lived on it for long…
