Antiwork

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?

Went to a restaurant in Minneapolis that charged an additional 5% with a line item that says employee health insurance. I don't know if they list what the fee is for as a way to come across as benevolent but why the hell am I paying for your employees insurance? I can barely afford my own. Don't make it out like you're doing something generous if you aren't even the one paying for it. Just bake it into the price of the food.

I was fired this week for “performance” without any prior written reprimands…only warnings that were sorted out civilly months ago. The main points cited at my termination were lateness and performance. I am salary and would occasionally be 1-3 minutes late to our morning meetings (most of the time meeting had not even started yet). One time my boss was visiting (works in another state for a different location) and I was 1 minute late for a meeting. They make a big deal about this because they think I was 10 minutes late (I know they were the one who misread the time because I checked my phone walking up to the meeting and it was only 1 minute past the meeting time). Tried to explain this and was immediately shut down. I had been warned twice by the manager leading the meetings and appearently my manager asked about lateness…
