Antiwork

So I’ve had my resume on indeed for years. I’m not actually look for a job right now, but I keep my resume active. Last week I was notified by indeed Best Buy wanted me to apply to a job they had. I looked at the position and applied. Next day I get a message from Best Buy through the indeed app that Best Buy wanted me to fill out an app on their website and get into their system. I already did that in indeed, plus they have my resume. There was a phone number attached to the email so I gave a call and left a message. The conversation the next day with whoever I called was just comical. She said I just had to get my information into their system to continue the process. I explained how that seemed like hr’s job. I asked if I was…

You know that question: “Why do you want to work for this company?” A part of me always wants to answer truthfully. “Because I need the money and I believe I can do what you require of this position.” or “This place is close enough to where I live and you seem to be able to pay just enough for me and my family to continue surviving in this city.” But that's not generally what they want to hear. What they want is to hear is if you did your research on their company, name some of its merits and how you want to be on their team for those reasons. However everyone knows the real reason is because you need to pay for rent and food. Yes there are people who strive for that position at that company but I think it's safe to say the majority of us…

I live in a country where the workers have to overwork for 12 hours at least to make their living. Feels like there's no god damn rest, people have no private space and recration.They are forced to be burdensome by tremendous pressure like housing price, food price, endless debt and hospitalized cost. The salary is low and the cpi is so high. Totally an abyss of suffering here.I'm tired of enduring all that shit.

I have a BS and 4 years of military experience. I am still serving in the guard. I just can't catch a break with these shitty, penny-pinching jobs…. My best friend works in a hospital and helped me get a job so I could move and be more independent. I originally worked for the airlines, but when they crashed due to covid, the pay and hours were too awful to stay…. So I dedicated 6 weeks of my time here to learn how to do neurology work. Well come to find out, I'm only being paid about 60% of the average of what most people doing my job get paid at other hospitals and in other states. Not even $14 to put my hands on patients and respond to codes/rapid response. I know I should be thankful I'm doing better now since the airport, but I feel discouraged when my…

are we globally seeing unprecedented levels of war profiteering?

In china , the word “躺平”——“Lying flat” grows popular on social media. this word spreads an idea of antiwork. “Lying flat” literally express that you just lie on the ground, getting rid of everyting: no need to get a full-time job, no need to buy a car, refuse marrage, do not bear the house loan and insist single. A simple arithmetic, if you get rid of these you can save a lot of private time and disposable deposits. Do not give a shit about how the bystanders think , we are not reliable on them. Just spend more time taking care about yourself. Just lying flat! It's unnecessary to overwork for your boss and get nothing. It's unnecessary to waste your time on consumerism and stupidly squabble with other for the meaningless scandal of pop stars. It's unnecessary to get a baby child and waste time on them. It's unnecessary…

I’m a civil servant in the county I live. The blatant disregard for civil service laws is atrocious, at this point I’m ready to walk away and most of my colleagues are leaving, many to not work at all. Our new county commissioner has given countless jobs to people from his church with no degrees or experience that didn’t take civil service tests, I’m talking high up and high paying jobs. By doing this he’s passing over people who have worked here for years and scored well on civil service tests. The worst part about it is he sends an email announcing every new hire. We haven’t had an internal promotion since he took over but over 50 new outside hires. What are your experiences with civil service?

I have never ever worked a friday and she knows that I can’t. But this friday in particular more important than any other friday I could not come to work. I let her know and she still put me on. I don’t even need this job. Cooperate breaths down our necks telling us to me meet our numbers. Dawg I’m literally a cashier. I can’t help it if it’s a slow day.
