Antiwork

I’m a director at the company I work for and have always expected all my employees to get to work early and stay late. Everyone is salaried, so they get no benefit from it financially just people who put in longer hours get looked at for promotion more. After reading through this sub, I’ve started encouraging everyone under me to have more of a work life balance, and leaving at 5 or even before isn’t going to stop you from getting ahead. If you can do all of your work, you shouldn’t be forced to stay til 6:30 or stay online til 8 just for plaudits. In the past, I leaned into the start up culture where everyone wants to prove how hard they work by long hours and have encouraged that.

Title says it all, seen a lot of landlord bashing on here lately and thought if you can't beat them, join them complaining! I'm probably considered a bit of a moderate on my stance on this point as in I'm neither on the side of landlord being a 'full time job' as owning a second property should not be a sufficient contribution to society to satisfy a comfortable lifestyle or on the side of 'we should just take their houses from them and burn them to death' because I'm just not that anarchic. ​ What annoys me is that landlords want rent to 'make a living' but the ownership of the property alone creates them additional asset value as the housing market climbs ever upwards. Ownership alone makes them indirect income, the rent is just pure cream scooping from the already heavy milk jugs that are filled by the work…

Like you’d think after the first question they would know how I feel about luck and chances in life but question after question it was asking me the same thing. It got to a point where I was laughing out loud at the absurdity. What is their game here? Clearly it’s not just about whether or not I think prayer or magic crystals will get me the job lol

Hi. Not completely sure if this is the right sub to post this to but I would assume it’s ok. I just need some advice. I’m 20 years old and I tried college for 2 years and I realized it’s not for me. I was thinking it would be better if I went to trade school instead. I was just wondering if anyone in this sub could explain to me why this is a good option and what programs would be the best for me to get into. I was looking into programs such as hvac, aviation mechanic, and electrical. I would like to hear from people who are in these jobs or have experience with trade school in general. I would like to know how do you like your job and do you think you made the right decision going to trade school instead of regular college. Also how’s…

At my job we accrue 1.4 hours of vacation per week (all of these increments are at my current level), 1.4 hours of sick leave per week, we are given 25 hours of family sick leave (to care for a family member) per year, 8 hours of personal leave (for meetings and such) per year and 2 personal days per year, and you can buy two more vacation days for the entire year. When i first saw this i thought “okay i can deal with this, this seems reasonable for someone just starting to work here”. Nope. The family sick leave and personal leave come out of your accrued sick leave. So if my 2 year old gets sick and i gave to take off two days for her, not only do i have to make sure I have the time in family sick, but i have to have it…

For a colleague just figured out she has 38,400 more hours to put in before she can retire (they tell you when you can retire). She will knock out a good 8 of those today. ​ https://preview.redd.it/otvnpf4vs4p81.png?width=497&format=png&auto=webp&s=e6a8da1c5618c7cc002015fd4c5487b4e6b945e7
