Antiwork

Currently writing this while working back cash, look at me go. Anyways, I got written up today for making a flurry for myself and not typing it in the register, because if you don’t type it in then it’s considered theft. Im not against this policy per say, I’d understand it completely IF the higher ups weren’t being hypocritical assholes. EVERYONE (including managers) will sneak some food during their shift. My manager saw me with the flurry and started yelling at me in front of everyone and called the GM to ask if she wanted me terminated. One of my coworkers went and registered it in for me but he said it didn’t matter because he caught me before it was registered. I got called into the office later, and he said that I’m lucky GM is in a good mood and that I’m just getting written up. I’ve worked…

Not personal experience, I just watched a tiktok where a woman quit her job after getting pestered by her supervisor for calling in sick for the third time in four months and I was absolutely baffled by the amount of people in the comments siding with the supervisor on this one! Especially considering that she had called in sick because she wasn’t having a good mental health day, and people were just calling her lazy? The world we live in…

As everyone can clearly see, the ruling class will continue to tighten there grip on us until we are all in poverty, and they own every last resource. We are already almost there. So I ask, what is the real breaking point. When, and HOW do we take our lives back? We only have this one chance in this world, I personally don't want to be oppressed through created “culture” and manipulated wages the entire time. What's the next step to take our lives back, before it reaches violence

I am currently in the processes of job hunting and got a job offer that is currently lower than I’m making now, not significantly but that lower pay is offset by working less hours, more paid time off and a way less stressful job environment. I am planning on telling the hire ups that I have a job offer and am curious how much they’d pay me to make me stay. Is it unethical to tell them the job offer is for much higher than it actually is. I mean on one hand, fuck em for paying me so low but on the other hand what if they ask for proof?

I'm genuinely curious as to what the future of r/antiwork is going to be. With 1.9 million members and what seems to also be a very large portion of lurkers, there's something to be said for the power of organization and taking this movement offline and into the streets. ​ Is it reasonable to say that this subreddit should also include protest organization throughout the upcoming summer months? The sheer power of our collective thinking can move mountains when it comes to personal workplace situations, but what about bringing this idea of organized labour into the streets like is needed? Worker's rights are human rights, as we've long-ago agreed on and concluded. So… Do you think that r/antiwork will just remain as a place for people to complain and comment and generate outrage, or is there a way to FUNNEL that rage and willpower into something that can be used…

After watching Office Space recently, I realized that I never waste time while at work anymore. When I worked in Cubeville, I would waste hours staring blankly at the computer screen, waiting for 5:00. Now, when I am tired or hungry or just want to watch The Beverly Hillbillies, I stop working and eat or sleep or watch TV. I never waste time at work. It makes me so much more productive than I ever was sitting at a desk working hours that somebody else chose. I wonder why managers can't figure this out?
