Antiwork

I called out yesterday for only like the second time since working at my job (the first time my boss pressured me into coming in after I'd already called out) and I felt so guilty this time that I literally got muscle spasms in my back (I get them when I'm stressed). The day I called out was day 5/12 working in a row with no day off. What can I do to not feel guilty?

I was let go a couple of months back from my job with DHL. I failed a drugs test, now before anyone says I should be doing drugs I was suffering bad after breaking up with my ex misses. They heard I use, probably overheard me talking to someone, tested me and I failed. I was suspended for three weeks, called in for a disciplinary, laid everything out, I split from my partner, and her two kids who I adored, I fell in with the wrong people. After killing myself through Covid, working any hours they needed, taking 6 hours between shifts because we were short, giving up nearly every weekend for the company. They just didn't care, I was just a number no matter what I did, I was a broken man in my hearing, but they didn't care. Just remember everyone, they will replace you as quickly as…

You are taxed so much on your hard earned income and see little of it put back into social services or programs. Meanwhile if you're capitalists with stocks or real-estate you're networth just goes up and up. Not even taxed unless you sell. Oh but you can take out a loan at a low interest rate on your stocks so you don't have to ever sell! Because fuck the workers, you wage slaves!

My brother and I both work the same fast food job. And we're both nearing the end of our 2 weeks notice due to moving. The write ups are for both of us missing a “mandatory meeting” a few weeks ago. I overslept not to mention it was a moving day for me. (We had to move around the city alot with motels and airbnbs barely getting by with our paychecks) and we're leaving state now. We'll the write ups are for that and my brother brother being apparently short a few times like a month ago. And I'll probably be getting one they said on like Monday due to me being short (somehow a lot. I'm surprised I'm never short but I guess I gave out wrong change I guess) yesterday and I'm never short so it's a first time. But I literally have only two days of work…

If I've saved enough to get by on savings for a year, shouldn't I be able to do that if I'm burned out and want a break from working?
