Antiwork

I’m 17 and work at a fast food place. Just trying to save up for a car and have some disposable income so I don’t have to ask my parents for money as often. I get home from school around 4:30, and go to work from 5 to 10. I usually make the fries and I’m damn good at it. The other day at work I asked my manager if I could go on break sometime soon since I hadn’t eaten yet and wanted to have what’s basically my dinner. He then told me “actually, you don’t have to get a break if you work five hours or less. For non-minors it’s six.” I work exactly five hours. I told him to his face “well that’s bullshit” (casual environment so he didn’t care) and he just shrugged. Looked me dead in the eye and shrugged it off knowing he could’ve…

I don't have a regular work arrangement and it's mostly worked out. Two years ago the boss came across a bunch of vintage hats and he gave me one with the city's mascot on it knowing that I would appreciate it. Today I wore it to work and my boss gave that hat to a customer because the customer liked it. They kinda forced my consent but they could tell I wasn't wanting to part with it, but they justified it by saying they gave it to me & that it will bring in more business. Of all the difficulties I've faced at work, this seems like the biggest violation.

I don't know if this constitutes for an anti-work post per say, but I just wanted to see if there were more people out there like me who deal with constant work-related stress and anxiety. The thing is, even if work is going good, I still feel constant anxiety and dread thinking about returning the next day for no apparent reason. Sundays are the worst, I can't relax or get comfortable as I know I have work the next day, so I pretty much just waste the whole day ruminating about work. Some nights, I can't get to sleep because of work anxiety. I honestly feel like I can't live a happy life as long as I'm employed, even if I love my job. Does anyone else resonate with this? Has anyone found any solutions that have helped them with overcome/deal with work anxiety?

Edit: because this country hates communism right? If I chose not to work or chose to work a low wage job to take advantage of income-based housing, Medicaid, and snap benefits, I would be seen as a “leech” on society.

The little story is that, while negotiating the salary I asked that I am expecting 15k INR per month. My boss gave me an offer letter at the time of hiring and which stated that I will get 15k per month from which tax will be deducted. As it's already a very small amount I asked her to give me 15k in hand. When I signed my contract, the figure I signed up for was 16500k INR per month, this was done by my boss so that i could get 15k in hand but i wasn't told about this intention, my boss's manager told me that the extra money was a travel allowance. After i joined i got to know that 1.5k INR is deducted as tax from my salary and i was getting 15k in hand. Boss's manager said that the deducted amount will be refunded by govt when…
