Antiwork

Hey anti work of Reddit, when you say that you are anti work, do you mean that you are against every form of work? If everyone stopped working, what would happen to the jobs that still need to be done, if there were no workers to complete them? For example, if there was no baristas in coffee shops, then wouldn't there be no more coffee shops? Or if there was no daycare workers, then wouldn't there be no more daycares for children? And an even more personal example, I clean hotel rooms for a living (I'm a teenager), but if everyone was anti work then there'd be no more clean hotel rooms? Again, sorry if my questions sound dumb or I'm completely missing the point of anti work, I'm just genuinely curious.

You say you love your job? Fine. Keep doing it. Your sort will help to tide us over during the transition. We feel sorry for you, but we respect your choice as much as we suspect it's rooted in refusal to admit your present prodigious efforts made life (especially yours) no better, they only made life seem to go by faster.

There must be something wrong with preaching non-work, and there must be a reason for being anti-work. For example, there are jobs that do not give people freedom and are not creative, they are mechanically repetitive all the time, which limits one's imagination and creativity, and such jobs should be opposed. Everyone is looking forward to their professional future because everyone is different and there is no way we can solve everyone's problems with one solution. The only criterion is whether you like the job, whether you are full of energy and passion, whether you can show your talent and realise your self-worth in this job. My post is not long, the above is to raise a point and discuss with you what the point of anti-work is, and what each of us needs to be inspired by it, rather than following the herd. I'm going to end with some…

Had a boss once, used to have division meetings and tell his staff he only wanted 2 hours of honest work. He would then proceed to tell us how he would hide during his shift when he was in our position as to not get caught… he had the idea to GPS our vehicles after that meeting. He is a Director at a government agency.

TLDR – paragraphs with ■ So it's a pretty well known US national franchise, my store just opened the weekend before last and my first day was the Wednesday before that and day one, they were already committing serious OSHA violations (which has continued, to myself and multiple others, every day, to gig day. And I will be filling a formal complaint once I'm either feeling a bit more secure in my employment since my employer will have to be notified of the file which includes my name and the details of what I filed for, or if i become too disheartened by their bullshit to continue investing any more time into this job. But I regress tho). They also lost my food handler's card 6 days after my start, even tho I had accidentally printed the card out about 12x the size that normal FHCs are, so the image…

I hope this is the right place to post this. I could use some advice. I live alone and work from home so don’t have an outlet. I’m at a breaking point today so I thought I’d make a post to vent and hopefully get some advice. I don’t feel safe speaking to anyone in the business in fear of lack of confidentiality and I fear confronting my boss because I’m on a fixed term contract, hopefully on the cusp of permanency, and I don’t want to risk my boss terminating me. I’d like to think I have support from some of his seniors where it would be out of his hands but I do not trust him and do not know the depths of his Machiavellian nature. My boss is out of his depth, intellectually black and white and quite bombastic in meetings. He has recently been undermined with…
