The concept of “Employee of the month” is a glamourized/labor version of Hunger Games

I never got the obsession of workers/employees being obsessive over wanting their picture to be posted on some lame-ass bulletin board. And I said it's similar to Battle Royal or Hunger Games cause you and your co-workers are fighting against each other on which of you is going to get praised for the next month while rich capitalists/CEOs/top executives are laughing their asses off that they can milk the hell out of workers.

Friendly Reminder of My 15 Commandments of Anti-Work!

1. Don’t do more. Don’t do less. Only do what is literally required. Never go beyond the scope of your specific job. You aren’t being paid to do more, so never do more than you are required to do. Never say more than you have to. If you’re questioned about this, use the following responses: “I'm just doing my job.” “I'm just doing what I'm told.” “Nobody told me to do anything else.” 2.

Full Circle

I’ve been in manufacturing my entire adult life (48/M) since leaving the military at 22. I started off as a material handler and slowly built a respectable career whilst climbing the ladder. I also have struggled with my mental health having gone untreated until my mid 30s. Recently, I was let go from a good job because I was having a lot of physical issues simultaneously in a very short period of time. I understood why they let me go and hold no grudges, but this sent me in a spiral mental. My gf and I recently bought a home and instead of being honest with her, I continued down the rabbit hole. Fortunately, she confronted me in the most loving, patient and understanding way and we began the job hunt journey together, in addition to adjust my medication. I’m grateful for her love. I was let go in December,…

Confession: I am very Pro lying on your resume.

There are companies that do employment and education background checks. But alot of companies don't. I even lie about my salary so I get the highest offer. I gotta put me first. The worst that can happen is I don't get the job. No one's gotta know that I quit working at company X on day two. 🤷‍️🤷‍️

The “people just don’t want to work” argument has been used to exploit people for ages. Here’s a vintage doc about poverty and hardship in Tennessee from 1970 that explores the struggle of the working poor and a great retort to the “people don’t want to work” perspective.
