Antiwork

Not joking. I want to be a 23 year old who makes 200k a year working in I.T with 300k in savings. Like the people who post in r/personalfinance. In that sub all I see is 6 figure tech bros. Not anyone who’s actually middle class. If you make over 150k a year you need a financial advisor, not Reddit. Sorry not sorry.

I work at a gas station and have been doing retail off and on since I have graduated high school. The first couple of years in retail were actually enjoyable but over the last few years it has really started to suck even more so the last 2 with the pandemic. The place I work at is extremely busy so I never get much of a chance to take bathroom breaks and grab a cup of water or sit for a second to get off my feet because I’m literally trapped behind the fucking counter all night until closing time. Sometimes I do have a backup cashier with me my first couple hours and even still we get that fucking busy. I been getting lots of dumbass customers lately too that waste so many fucking cups and make big messes in the fountain area and so much other shit. The…

I wouldn’t exaggerate to the point of not being able to do a job but I’m tired of not getting a decent job or salary because of my title and current salary. If I were to add Senior in front of my title or even manager or supervisor, would they be able to verify this? If I add $20,000 to my current salary, can they verify it? I just want to know how far I can stretch the limits.

Just felt like sharing my own personal fight against a shitty employer. I managed to score an interview with my former employer and just to make sure nothing came up to make me late, I called in to my current job today. They knew I had this interview scheduled, and they were pissed. But because they think their employees are fucking children, they gave us a “get out of jail free” card to each of us during our orientation and I fully intend to hand it in to them tomorrow with a shit eating grin on my face. They've shown me that they don't respect me, so I owe them absolutely no respect either. I feel bad for making the day harder on my coworkers, but honestly I also feel empowered.

I would, literally, never suggest that people start climbing up billboards or painting anti-capitalist graffiti on shitty businesses or anything else that would be illegal. YOU SHOULD NOT DO THAT, EVER. What you should be aware of is, oil based paint is so much harder to wash off in case you ever had to deal with that kind of thing.
