Antiwork

I've been a machinist for about 6 years, the interview is at a large international company. I've worked in horrible and wonderful shops, big and small. I've seen good and bad management, also good and bad environments to work in. From any with management experience in manufacturing settings. What are some things i need to keep in mind and be prepared to answer, and what are some good questions to ask them to be able to better gage how they treat their employees, and how the employees feel about the work environment. The job pays very well for my area, ill be nearly doubling my income but i need to be in a constructive environment and if that's not the case here, i can turn this down and be fine.

So I work at Walmart as a cart pusher, it's a simple job but the pay could be a lot better considering how much one damages their body in the process of the job. I had to leave for a bit after failing a health screening (negative for covid, but I'm much more wary of where I get chinese food from now on), and I followed the steps provided, irritating as they may be: go to 3rd party website every day you would've worked and file a Leave of Absence if the leave is 5+ days. This information includes when whoever sent you on leave said it would be safe to return, which for me happened to be today (remember this as it's important). And I left it at that.

Here are the questions: 1) In a society where hypothetically it's not mandatory to work in order to live a normal life, how would working be incentivized? How would people be encouraged to go to school, or learn how to do a job correctly? 2) Do you think there are some jobs that are just too important for humanity to not be considered as “optional”? (aka manutention jobs for high risk nuclear reactors, or even more simple things like farming) 3) Even if working is somehow incentivized and people out of pure passion and collective spirit still…

Hey, I nearly died in a car crash about one month ago. Car flipped on its hood. It’s a miracle I’m alive with no injuries. In a very symbolic way, watching that car die was like losing my respect for contemporary capitalism in a lot of ways. I have a few thousand bucks coming in from my car insurance and within reason it’s like a mild opportunity to set myself up for a life that will be as little offensive as possible to my new post-capitalist sensibilities. Any ideas? What should I do for work?
