Antiwork

I have learned so much from this sub, however it now all I see is reminders of this cruel capitalist world we live in and it has made me feel extremely miserable. It was still very informative nonetheless. Bye everyone

get a fucking job

I’m not able to sleep and I know I’ll be unsafe to work tomorrow. That’s good enough for me but I’d like to hear your go-to excuses for when the truth won’t go ever well.

With so much emphasis on poor working condition, and employees not being taken care of by rice corporations, what do you think about agressive automation. Most of the grueling works like warehouse workers, delivery service, resturant servers etc can be automated with current level of technology. All the corporations has to do is a cost/benifit analysis with raising costs of keeping an employee, it's much better to have robotic once.

I feel like this should be illegal, but man, like. I can't find anything that suggests it is. Mom was diagnosed with cancer recently, it's not great but it's not like, super life-threatening. We almost kind of wish it was. (We don't, by the way. She got lucky.) She has doctor's appointments, she has scans she has to do when time opens for her to be able to do them on short notice. The type of cancer she has is 'aggressive' so the docs are doing everything they can as quickly as possible. Her work originally told her she could take a leave of absence.
