A bit of a background: Recently, I decided to switch career paths from administration and management and into a more data-centric analyst role. I started taking part-time classes at a local college and self-studying SQL and Power BI in my free time. After receiving a job offer from this company as a business analyst, I thought I really had made my efforts worth it. However, things immediately went downhill the moment I started. I was thrown into the job and assigned multiple duties including: Warehouse receiving Warehouse shipping Inventory management Miscellaneous IT tasks Attending meetings as early as 7:30 AM and as late as 9:00 PM without any overtime pay My manager told me that in order to be a good analyst, I had to “get my hands dirty” and involve myself in the process. While I normally agree with this, I received very little training and was expected to…
Look. I get antiwork is anti doing anything or whatever. Lol, you're an interesting bunch. So far it is a lot of things I've seen. But in order to get to the point of working less or ” no work ” if that's even possible, we have to at least do something in order to achieve Get outside tomorrow, the next day, the day after, or all together on April 30th. Protest in the streets of D.C., of London, or wherever you want. Raise signs, post banners, tell your friends, post up signs. Get on Twitter, Facebook, 4chan, Reddit or whatever else you use.

I love working
I love writing books – it's a lot of work. Writing, formatting, creating covers, filling a thousand forms so you can self-publish… Between 2019 and 2021, I've published 5 books in Portuguese, and then translated two of them to English. I do it for free. I put them on Amazon, because it's the only way a lot of people can discover it, but I also have a website with them for free. Even on Amazon, whenever they let me, I offer them for free. I also love recording songs – so much work! I've recorded 20 albums so far, I guess. I also do it for free, just for my enjoyment. Nobody likes it, but when they do, they can listen to it, or download it for free. Why not? It's already done and it's free to copy. I'm not losing my copy. I love creating or editing videos for…
I have been working at a company for about 9 months. Around the 90 day mark you are supposed to get a review but mine did not happen till about 6-7 months of working. Once i got this review i was given a substantial raise upon completing certain tasks proficiently. So after sometime i was able to show proficiency and then ask my supervisor about the raise and was told it would be moved forward to be approved by the owner. After a couple weeks I ask again and as it wasn’t on the past two pay stubs. I was told the supervisor forgot and he would do it again. So on the third time I asked the owner was there at the same time so my supervisor talked to him. After this conversation I was given a small promotion and other things that go with this but did not…

Coworkers are Corporate Symps
I work at a salaried position in the devil trade, Commercial Real Estate. I’m not planning on staying for more than another year, I have my exit strategy. My coworkers, I feel sad for them. They eat, breathe, and their pulse is tied to their work. 7pm, they are online, and getting emails at 5am is by no means uncommon. I sign on at 8am and sign off at 4pm (remote worker) and I’m judged for it. I’m tired of the sassy remarks and hand waving because I’m not “putting in the effort”. I wonder what people do when they work for so long. I’m easily able to get my work done, and everyone else drones on and on about how much they still have to do. Do they really have that much or are they just terrible at time management? I leave on time because I cherish my time…
