Antiwork

I did it, I quit my job! After busting ass in hospitality for 7 years and getting promoted to GM and thinking this was my career path I left. I have been working 70 80 hour weeks for months covering shifts and losing my mind. Begging for help in hiring from corporate , asking for raises for my team and higher starting wages to compete in this crazy job market. Thankfully I was able to get some raises for my team who have been dealing with shit wages through a pandemic but no where near enough they still deserve for all the bs from guests they have to put up with. I am going to miss my team as they are some of the nicest, kindest, and amazing people I have worked with and I hope whoever comes in doesn't try to rock the boat or I will personally help…

I mostly have a great job. I'm lower-middle-class, money is tight with 5 kids but doable. I have a very in-demand skillset that pays well. Why would I come to r/antiwork for any reasons other than ideology? To be clear, I *do* come here for ideology, because capitalism is bad etc. But the place r/antiwork really hits me in the gut has to do with my kids… When I was a kid, my parents still had a shot. Due to circumstances, my mom had to raise my sister and I as a single mother, and with SS widower pension and a full-time job she afforded a house and a good living for us and is near retiring. I make a lot more money than she ever did, but it's a lot tighter now. I'm nearing 40 at this point, and I really don't think I'll get to retire. I see…

Title says it all. If these companies aren’t willing to give people decent healthcare, they aren’t worth working for. Edit: I looked into the company more and got more information. Turns out during the busy seasons I would be required to work upwards of 90 hour weeks. This would be operating a spraying rig spraying dangerous chemicals onto crops. For some reason I don’t think that this would be worth it…..
