Antiwork

I told him I made some changes and he should read it. Don’t know if he actually did but he signed it. To be continued…

I'm 45 years old. From the time I became “politically aware” at the age of 16 until just a few months ago, I identified as “right wing”. Over the last year I've experienced multiple traumas, not the least of which is an ever-present fear of homelessness due to a 30% rent increase and no new rentals in sight. This has caused an existential crisis and a reevaluation of many things I though I knew. As I look at the motives of people on the left and the right, what I see is this: the motive behind the policies of the left (many of which I still don't agree with) seems to boil down to the desire to help other people. The motive behind the policies of the right boils down to helping oneself. Further, if in helping oneself you get to hurt others, that's even better. Once you see this,…

I recently got out of the military and found a job in the insurance industry. I read the posts on this page multiple times a day. I am a r/antiwork supporter as much as they come. I was very careful in my job search after I left the military and have landed the best job. I pretty much make my own schedule and am free to do what I please as long as I hit my quotas. I’ve got 3 bosses and they are all very easy to work for, so much so that I had qualified for a little over $800 in bonuses this month and the owners came together and just decided to give me a check for $1000 because they were appreciative of the work I’d done since I started. I guess the reason I wanted to post this on here was to maybe give an insight…

Unfortunately, in the last few years I’ve had to switch jobs due to some pressing circumstances. I am leaving a job now because I am being targeted for being trans. In the fall, I will be applying for a job I intend to keep for the next few years. How should I list my jobs on my resume? Can they know I’ve left a few jobs (I’ve had a few jobs I’ve stayed for a few years as well)

okay, so looooong story ahead, but- BACKGROUND: i work in day services as a caretaker. when COVID-19 came to the states, the day services branch of the company i work for temporarily shut down, and we were all distributed across residences throughout the state. when i got to the residence i was going to for (and have continued to work for, against my own will), everyone was briefed that i was just a temp – mainly because i'm not a CNA, and all other employees in this residence are CNAs or nurses. i was supposed to leave when day services reopened; day services reopened, but the residence had scheduled me months in advance. i stayed on bc i needed the money. it's been over a year since i was supposed to leave, and in that time, i've had multiple infractions against the company, depending on who you ask. i was…

I'm a 20yo who recently quit their job at Walmart, because, you know, it's Walmart. For the time being I'm financially stable, offsetting my relatively low costs with Doordash (I live with my parents so living expenses are easily manageable.) I've been trying to apply to entry level IT support positions (think Spectrum call center), since that's the field I want to work in, but have had very little luck getting interviews. I have Network+ and A+ certifications, but no college degree. I'm guessing that's what's hurting my chances the most, but quite frankly I don't think I'm capable of stomaching anymore school. What are my options? If I absolutely have to, I can do school, but I really, really do not want to. If it matters, I live in NC, and have a high school diploma.
