Antiwork

I've always been a job hopper in my career. I've watched my wages balloon to almost 300% what I was making 5 years ago, and it grows everytime I hop about one a year or so. The sad thing is I work with boomers that have held their current job for decades and the majority of them make less then me at this point. Their all getting fucked and don't even know it. The only reason they get by is because they paid off their miniscule mortgages. The ones that didn't are so damn poor and miserable that their wives left them after 40 years. Know your damn worth and quit letting company' companies dictate your compensation! If you have a valuable skill, make them PAY for it! They don't give a fuck about your expenses, and neither should you give a fuck about their expenses!

Hi sub, I wanted to talk a bit about unions, work, and new companies, mostly because I see this sub as the, perhaps, new begging of work and companies as we know them. I hope I'm not wrong. I'm from Argentina, a country where, if you are not from here, you might not know the reality of unions (here these are called syndicates). These syndicates were, in the beginning, looking for the rights of the workers, things that they really needed, like paid vacations, good conditions of work, etc. This process was the beginning of a new political party, the Peronism. Time passed, and these syndicates got more and more power, to the point where it began to really make impossible the generation of new work, investments, etc due to all the obstacles generated to the creation of new companies (all this along really bad economic policies that really made…

I've been trapped in a loop of negative thought patterns since I left the military in 2017. I left the military due to new-found moral conflictions. I've since worked as a warehouse forklift driver, a bartender, a cabinet maker, a farmhand, and numerous other odd jobs. I've since discovered that I have a rather severe case of ADHD as well, which has made it even more difficult to hold down a job or even complete a college degree (have completed 1/3 semsters). On top of less than desirable working conditions, I've also have a hard time dedicating myself to work that I don't really believe in. As I realize that it's good to challenge the status quo of how companies treat their employees, it makes it that much harder to find one that's worth the time. As entry-level jobs seem to be the only jobs I'm qualified for, the work…

I'm not sure if this is the best sub for this, but I could use some opinions. I recently applied for a tech job, knowing the interview process would probably be pretty tough. I find out that it is 8 rounds, and a total of 7 hours: 30 min intro phone call 1 hour tech screen with multiple anxiety-inducing (leetcode) question 5 1/2 hours (which can be split over 2 days) of “whiteboard” interviews over 6 other things that vary between 1/2 an hour and an hour So, I actually couldn't sleep last night thinking about preparing for these interviews and whether to even attempt them, as the pay is good, but I'm reluctant to support what I feel is an unnecessary gauntlet of interviews. It's also incredibly anxiety-inducing for me, as there is insane time pressure to complete problems without being able to think much on them, which runs…
