To all those in the proximity of Belgium.

Hi, This is a call from our local collective to all those in the proximity of Belgium: Fed up with our society? Tired of being the main drive force behind our society while reaping the least rewards? Join us! Let's work together towards an equal society! We organise and support protests, soup kitchens, hold meetings to discuss further actions, everything is deceided democratically. We are all equal, in power, hardships and rewards. There are several collectives nearby. If you are from the north of France, Belgium or the south of the Netherlands, I think we can get you in one of our local collectives where we can work towards a better future! Feel free to pm me or ask here for more info

I work 3 days a week.

I work on movie/commercial sets, i love my job, but its harsh. 12 hours a day is the minimum on set. Usually i work 15-18 hours per day, not including my commute to and from set.. It’s pretty much impossible to do it 5 days a week, but at least the pay is good to let me have 3 days of work and 4 days of rest. Sometimes they’re consecutive… then I really don’t trust myself on the wheel.. on weeks if i have more then 3 i ask production to fund a cab.. usually they do, but when they don’t I’d rather turn down the job or pay a friend to drive me.

I keep getting pressured by people around me to get a job while being in college and just wanting to focus on college.

I’m lucky that I even have the choice. But more than that, why the fuck would I work when I don’t have to? These same people who want me to get a job constantly tell me hellish stories about their work experiences, how shitty they’re paid and how people mistreat them constantly. I don’t want to work until I have to.

Why do ‘pro workers’ all use the exact same arguments like a hivemind?

1) Every pro worker seems to believe anti workers are all poor. I make a decently high wage and hate my 9-5 life. 2) Every pro worker says 'capitalism is the only successful system.' As half of the world makes less than 5 dollars per day 3) Ever pro worker seems to think that if there aren't wage slaves, society will collapse. Hate to break it to you but 90% of jobs in America are unnecessary bullshit. Pizza hut doesn't need wage slaves for society to function. Pizza hut shouldn't exist if it requires slaves to run 4) Every pro worker seems to think that the ultra rich are tony stark like geniuses that deserve to have wage slaves. They seem to worship them like literal deities and truly believe that people should be forced to serve them. 5) Every pro worker gets triggered by the term, 'wage slave' Even…

Hey Guys.. I love this sub for inspiration it gives to be antiwork.

I really feel in this age and technology people should be having options to work 3-4 days a week and have a enough income to raise a family. What’s the point of having a government and advanced technologies if we keep working to death and only aim for profits letting experiences of life slipping off the fingers. Isn’t the role of technology to help us live better?

It ain’t WORKING

I honestly think capitalism is gonna be the death of the world. This race for profit is crazy, no end exist. No matter how hard I work in a given hour, or given day I will be paid the same amount. I can do what my manager does, and probably what his manger does. I train new employees, but I'm getting flack for “requesting” vacation days. So if me, lil old nobody can see that this shit ain't working. If a reddit exist called anitwork ( just found it by the way, great place kinda gloomy) then that means other people see it too. It's only a matter of time before this shit ends. The question is what comes after?

“If you have any free time it should be spent working for us, because we pay you a salary.” Ok, then I quit.

Got called by HR one day after someone there noticed I work on weekends doing gigs totally unrelated to my normal job. Normal job office is open M-F only. After I told HR I wouldn’t stop bc it’s outside of office hours and not a conflict of interest (it’s not even close to the same field), an executive called me and said what’s in the title after explaining to me I was salaried exempt. I asked what could I be doing if the office is closed, he said I could spend time helping make the company better. Come up with new strategies or develop training for other departments. After expressing my shock at this and arguing a few minutes, I told him I quit. Sent my letter of resignation to HR right after I hung up with the exec. They tried to convince me to stay. When that didn’t work…

Constantly worrying about my future

27(m) I have been doing security for 4 years prior to this I was going from job to job and pretty much homeless, recently I have been hearing talks of my company possible losing a contract (the current spot i work) I have heard this all last year and an old worker said the casino says this often but never does anything. My security company isn't the best out there they don't really pay well but its a job I have thought about looking elsewhere but ik stuck on how safe I am. They can risk to lose a good worker. My apartment is close so I ride a bike to work and back ( 60 miles a week) and got my apartment to pretty much work around my lack of transportation. My goal was to work on getting a trade this year So I can move from this job…

i lost all what i had and im devastated

i feel so devastated. i placed a trade yesterday with a stop limit in binance and it has an option to place the stop loss along with it. but my stoploss didnt work , i talked with the customercare and they said i have to place stoploss seperately after the trade opening up in position if im placing a stop limit. placing stoploss with the order only works on market and limit orders. i didnt get any sort of warning that it doesnt work on stop limit , they said i should have read the FAQs. i feel so miserable, i lost so much money. im someone who place strict stop loss everytime i do the trade. i just dont know what to do anymore.. im a 19 y.o medical student from india, its hard to find a part time of all of a sudden. i feel like my life…
