Antiwork

Okay, so I was mulling over and speculating why Work From Home is getting so much backlash from companies (that aren't Google, Apple or others that prove WFH can be a vital asset to the company) and after seeing cubicle culture, real estate insights and viewpoints from admins, I think I see a grander picture. Many businesses thrive on the footwork and commute of the metropolitan/big city working class. Partly why masses of workers are concentrated closer to the center of those cities, since more pedestrians = more potential customers. On the way going to and from work, you pick up meals, hit up the gyms, get some shopping done, check out events, drink at bars, etc. Now imagine if a massive amount of jobs made the workplace your home. Not every single job, mind you, but enough to make a significant cut of pedestrian and vehicle traffic. SUDDENLY, those…

In our “healthier” earlier economy it was still hard to buy real estate. If the housing market crashes cause offices get turned into apartments and causes a flood in the market i dont care. Maybe if the market bursts it only effects the 2%. I feel we have the ability to manipulate the housing markets now. We have a game plan. Make offices obsolete so the estate managers have to force themselves to sell it to be used for housing. All these companies own too much land

I see to many people here that are making minimum wage and dealing with shitty managers and customers. Stand up to your boss and the shitty customers. The worst they could do is fire you and you have to cross the street to find another min wage job. You have managers for a reason. If you are a cashier and a Karen starts demanding you accept her 5 year old coupon, just grab the manager and let them deal with her. Don’t over explain things to pissed off customers. “I’m sorry that’s policy, if you would like, you can step a side and a manager will be with you shortly”. You don’t get paid enough to deal with BS. Don’t take on any extra responsibility. If your dog dies your employer will tell you to get over it and be at the office tomorrow at 9am. So when your employer…

In reality most employers can fire you for no reason at al no matter how dependable you think you are.

I know it's probably just conditioning combined with my general anxiety but does anyone else feel this way? I needed a mental health day but I feel like I'd need one just to ask tomorrow off and thus, the vicious cycle begins.

I have a sneaking suspicion that for those of us who work corporate/white collar jobs we are going to look back at the last two years as the fondest of our careers. Before the dick bags running the shit corporations we work for force us back into an office bc its “where incidental conversations thrive”.
