Antiwork

Quick Google search came up with the actual labor law regarding the discussion with a coworker about how much you make. Next time one of you has a boss that posts some dumb sign about how you’re going to get fired or reprimanded, print this out and hang it up over the sign. https://www.nlrb.gov/about-nlrb/rights-we-protect/your-rights/your-rights-to-discuss-wages

I have several chronic conditions that I need to see doctors for, and my husband was going to get tested for a rare genetic condition next month (it is known as “congenital OCD” colloquially). We thought it was going to be $300/mo, and then we find it will in fact be over $600/mo. We can barely afford $300, but at $600 we will simply have to go without. Fuck that company and fuck America for not providing for its people. We should not have to go through this, and neither should anyone else. We also can’t get ACA insurance, so that’s not a solution. The only solution we have is to get better jobs.

I always see people who say “ugh I hate work” “I hate people” “my life is a mess” are usually workaholics, make a lot of money, take their jobs too seriously, and aren’t the most pleasant people to work with. I worked with a girl like this. She said she hated working, hated people (the stereotypical “ugh I hate people”) but she brown nosed to my boss that she hated working from home during covid! LOL. She ALWAYS would stay like 3 hours after work and said she would rather work SUPER early in the morning. Anyone I know who has anxiety, struggle with the 8-6 work schedule and are more introverted would never be like that, they actually mean when they say they don’t care for people and don’t like working corporate hours. They actually want to be free. I always noticed people like the girl I worked with…
