Antiwork

I apologize for another similar post to everyone's amazing stories and if I'm posting anything that's been said previously, it is unintentional. I felt inspired from the personal stories. If hard work builds character, how come I don't see the wealthy working on the floor? Mankind has been around for what 50,000 years? Of those, around 10,000 has been with the agricultural revolution. And of those, liberally we can say that 300 years have been apart of the industrial revolution. And we are to believe that this the best it gets? If hard work is so good for us, why is that I see workers dying at relatively younger ages than the people at the top, most of whom haven't had to work hard? Why is that if a poor person wants to enjoy their lives (this one shot) not working they're considered lazy, but if a trust fund kid…

It will make one feel empty and confused in no time.

I cant believe I'm sitting outside writing this. I don't actually feel like this is reality at all. Walmart can fire you for any reason by law so I guess this is on me. I had a miscarriage at work. I started hemorrhaging to the point where HR had to get me a change of clothes and called emergency for me. I ended upnfinding out at the ER I miscarried. I bring my medical records to work, and tell my supervisor why I have taken days off and she said ok. never even informed Me of sedgwick the online system where you have to call out and reuqest sick time. A week later my supervisor tells me I'm fired and that it's from my missing days. I tell her why, she says to take it up with the store manager. I have a meeting with him and he brings in…

They often live off the land, eat wild edibles, or volunteer on eco farms. They don’t live with money.

So to begin with I get to work at 3am and see a couple of colleagues crowding around this guy and as I got closer I noticed he was in a very bad state and heard he had falling into a creek. (Was drunk, potentially high, I know the guy that fell, for a good few years ) I don’t know how bad he was but apparently when my colleague found him he was unconscious. My section leader was out and called an ambulance (they had already been waiting two hours according to his mate, who was worrying a lot) and she and two others stayed out there till it came which was like half an hour later, so once that’s over they come back to work and then turns out that the either the manager of the store or the person that is in charge of my department had…

I was informed yesterday that starting Monday, we will be changing from 8 hour shifts m-f, to 10 hr shifts Monday-Saturday. It was one thing to do 10hr shifts m-f which happened seasonally, but 6 days a week is brutal.

I recently spoke with my boss on how I feel about the promotion I was given. Before people start saying he’s committing a crime or something, hear me out. He’s a great boss. He won’t let me because he says I don’t give myself enough credit. He thinks I’m giving up too easy. But that’s not the problem. I can do the job no problem, I just hate it and the aggravation it brings. Between angry customers that want their work done yesterday and impatient technicians, and dealing with extended warranties, it’s too much. I hate it. But it seems my boss is convinced that I think I don’t know how to do it and that’s why I want to quit. How do I tell him that I simply hate it???

I view my unemployment as self care. I deserve to feel like a human being with a soul.
