Antiwork

Capitalism requires constant growth in profits. Nobody sees the cost of running a business (and the profits derived from the business) as a fixed price, as something that would remain relatively consistent with upward and downward trends that reflect the market. The two are fixed points that run relatively parallel with one another. A person who maintains a well-oiled machine doesn’t expect the work or care taken to maintain that machine as something that should decrease over time as output increases. The work required to do the maintenance will remain fixed and then increase over time with the wear and tear as the machine gets older.

Hi all, hopefully this is the correct sub for this question, if not and anyone knows where it would be better received please let me know! I'm going to keep things vague for privacy reasons, if this ever got back to me my work life would become even more hellish than it already is. So at my place of business (smaller company, ~20-30 ppl) the incentive to work is based in a quarterly bonus system (since we are underpaid imo.) We have no idea what this bonus is until we receive it, but are constantly told it's based on our collective performance and it is docked as the owner sees fit. For example: we have recently taken on about double the accounts we already manage, and as a result the production department obviously produces more waste. We are limited to a single garbage dumpster that is roughly the size of…
