Antiwork

What do you call someone who accumulates an excessive amount of something, more than they would ever reasonably want or need, and is highly resistant to decreasing their supply of it? A hoarder. And that's what billionaires are: hoarders of money. On the surface, this sounds preposterous; after all, how can one ever have TOO MUCH money? Such an assumption is largely due to human civilization developing currency, replacing commodities, livestock, and precious metals with money as our main store of value. But money isn't inherently valuable, and so it doesn't get to avoid being a “hoardable” item. Think about this: the average person makes $1.7 million throughout their entire life. Yes, that's every dollar in every paycheck you get from cradle to coffin, and at a minimum, a billionaire makes over 500 times more. With entire lifetimes of wealth in their hands before they've even died, they have more…

It's not just a lower risk for covid. In the 6 weeks so far working from home I; Lost 10 lbs despite no changes to my diet Consistently sleep 8 hours a night No longer experience back pain Saved about $350 just in gas Saved another $450 in food because I was always too exhausted to meal prep Significantly cut back on my drinking. These are just the indirect benefits of my job. I'm not even going to start on the actual financial benefits package I received for working here. Why would I ever go back to a physical office?

Like the title says I’m a manager in retail and reading all these posts has made me aware of how my actions and management style are harmful to my employees. I thought my actions were noble, but after reading posts on this sub I’m now aware that I was a selfish and ignorant asshole to my employees. I’ve tried to write my wrongs by individually apologizing to each one of my employees, assuring them that I am going to consider their feelings in future management decisions. Thank you to everybody for posting about their experiences, it has really opened my eyes. I hope that I can have the same impact on other managers in the workforce.

When applying for jobs I use a resume generator and apply to jobs with one click apply This helps me apply to loads of jobs (60 in a week) and it saves me a shit ton of time because who wants to spend all their free time on 2 job applications only to get ignored anyway. I was speaking to an employee from HR (casual conversation) and they said I shouldn’t use tools like this because it’s not fair on the company because they’ve spent a lot of time and resources creating the job specs etc and it’s essentially disrespectful to the company to not spend a significant amount of time on the application. I asked her what’s a significant amount of time, she said you know anywhere between 4-6 hours, we really want people to spend time on their resumes and cover letters so we know they really want…

I work at a small, commuter airport where “everyone is family”. When I first started, I was hired part time because that was what I was comfortable with because of my mental health. After about a year, they asked me if I would like to go full time with a pay raise, to which I said yes (after much consideration). Then things started getting bad. People were not showing up to work and not getting in trouble, management was asking more and more with no assistance or guidance, so I started looking into making a career change. I asked to go back to part time under the pretense of having to help my SIL babysit their daughter (my niece) while she went back to work. They agreed. It's been like this since the beginning of the year. Well today I got reprimanded for not asking someone to cover my desk…
