Antiwork

Something that never fails to wear me down the second I put too much thought into it is how ridiculous corporate America is. Almost every single job I’ve worked has the same structure I’m surprised I haven’t been driven insane for how repetitive it is. The bottom tier workers, who shoehorn the labor, who generate the revenue, are at the mercy of the higher ups, Who sit in offices all day looking at sheets of paper with numbers on it. Then they, who make well over 100k a year, get to debate and bicker on if we should be paid enough to afford basic living necessities. The cost of living has vastly outpaced the wages yet still, we wait. We wait for months and months for corporate to decide. While our bills pile up, our workload increases, and the value of our wage continues to shrink as the cost of…

Is it just me, or do these kinds of pushy recruiting emails rub other people the wrong way too? The very sales-y phrasing of “you will do blah blah” just comes off as so creepy and overlord-y. Sorry buddy, I'll do whatever the fuck I want – and that includes not working for people who try to manipulate me with directives and boss me around before we even meet. https://preview.redd.it/c4846leww5o81.jpg?width=1692&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d0c1724dcbee0f5bd915144e76160f61f4840d71

Just got my first job (19) and they say they'll be doing random drug tests but I'd like to microdose psilocybin and other psychedelics for my mental health without getting fired. What can I do?

Are there people out there who would be willing to pool money together and build social enterprises for and by the people, where together we agree on how much all positions should be compensated (based on fair living wages) and, after expenses all profits go back into the business and not to make one or a few individuals wealthy?

I take a shot of vodka or 2 with some orange juice. It’s the only way I can get through a long shift at my job. So far no one has noticed. I have to deal with rude customers all day long and it’s mentally draining and depressing. All for minimum wage. I just feel so much more relaxed and stress free

Long story short, he's trying to screw me out of a promotion that I am the best candidate for. Several months ago, he threatened to strangle me over re-work that wasn't even mine in any way. Recently, I've come to find out the conference room is bugged with a mic, the conference room door was open when he said it, and there's a chance it could have picked up his comments. There was one witness, although I'm not sure he was paying attention, and one person who saw that I was visibly distraught, whom I told what happened. I drafted an email to HR the same day it happened, but never sent it. I remember the day it happened and the approximate time. There is a zero tolerance policy for this kinda stuff and he'd likely be fired. Should I? Also besides that, anything else I should know?
