Antiwork

Two weeks ago it was my birthday on a Monday but i had to work as i had some things to do. So on that Friday i took the day off just to relax. It was the first day off i took this year. So yesterday, on Friday, i was at work when my boss walked by. He says to me, ‘oh youre here. I thought you were going to take another Friday off.’ I bit my tongue but inside i was pretty upset. Why must they try to make us feel guilty for taking a friggin day off? Just because work is your entire life does not mean that it is to me. Cant i take a mental health day off to just unwind and play some Elden Ring or something? 🙁

They get paid…

Hello, this is the first time posting here. I am currently in college becoming a chef, what I need most was experience in a real kitchen.

In the interview I met one on the head chefs who works at the location. I explained at the interview that I would be only be working there for 3 months until school starts up again where I have another job working at the campus. He explains that I would be a pantry chef ( basically I would with cold food like salads) and would be an extra pair of hands I someone didn't show up. I was excited and when I ask when I could start he said immediately, this was my second…

Would owning part of the company and being responsible/entitled to its failure/success change your outlook on work? Can a democratic company that doesn’t exploit its employees compete in this world, or even function properly?
