Antiwork

Hello Reddit! Here's my story and why I think I'm now anti-work. It all starts at the end of April 2021, being in the tourism sector and living in Marrakech, I have been unemployed for a while (hello crisis). Through friends I meet a couple of celebrities who are looking for a person capable of managing their investment projects in Marrakech precisely. He is in the world of football, she is the little sister of a well-known French comedian. Her name's Nawal Debbouzze and his is Fouad Ben Kouider. First interview it feels off, they are several of minutes late, their projects don't seem so great to me, however on their side they are interested and offer me a second interview. Second appointment, this time they're an hour late, they barely apologize and make me a proposal directly. Salary is not so great, but a lot of promises of evolution…

I am currently working a crappy $10hr security guard job in Nevada. I am overworked and underpaid at my current job and I want to leave security to go work from home. The problem is many of these jobs require lot of experience to complete and the only ones I could find are call center related ones. The others require a bachelor's degree of 3 to 5 years or something like that. Maybe I already got experience that I don't know about or I could learn some skills that might help me. My previous experience includes: being able to type at least 35 to 45 wpm, computer skills, MS office skills. I went to community College for 3 to 5 years to get a history degree but I did not do well so I dropped out. My prior work experiences include: working at my dads retail store operating the cash…

My grandfather passed away last fall during the delta wave of covid. He caught it and was in the hospital about a month, with most of that time being on a ventilator (before anyone asks, he was vaccinated, healthy, and wore a mask, just an unlucky breakthrough infection). It was a rough time for myself and my family. He lived only a few minutes away growing up, so I saw him multiple times a week as a child, sometimes every day of the week. We were very close and I'm tearing up writing this just thinking about him. I didn't see him quite as often after college, but every time I was nearby I would always stop in to spend time. When I called him in the hospital before he was put on the vent, he said to just pray for my grandma because he was more worried about her…

I make about a $100 a day after taxes at work. Today when I woke up I debated if I’d rather have 100 dollars or a pleasant day at home. I think you know which side won.

After I quit my job at Taco Bell the new manager of dominos called me I submitted an application months ago. Should I work there?

Company's are motivated by money, most company's make bank and most jobs in the UK don't pay enough I have seen jobs for 20k a year in a city in the UK. I do know that is not enough to live on monthly, what about Hard work? Hard work does not guarantee a raise. What about starting a business? In my own experience It's hard to make money for most people in the marketplace a product has to be different from the other product with good branding. I was brought up poor, I educated my self on business and how to run a legal entity and keeping up with the company accounts. Most people that are well of commonly have been at the company for 30 year's and most of them own houses that most people can't afford because wages in the uk aren't keeping up with the cost of…

So for context I (22m) work at a powerwashing company. I’ve quit before because of shady stuff happening (raises/ bonuses not materializing) but was offered $20 an hour to return part time. Well I did and there was a lot of work for me to catch up on. I am one of the most productive of our team (5 people) and basically do any extra work that is asked of me. I didn’t really mind especially because work slows down during winter. Well a few weeks ago my coworker called me saying that he convinced the owner to let us plow snow under the company’s name. Well here starts the shit show…. When he asked me for help I asked what the pay was and he said I’m not sure yet I’ll talk to the owner more, but $25 at a minimum. Great! Then we were charged xx2.5 for the…

This seemed like the perfect place to reveal this solution. I apologize for the granularity of detail, but I thought it was important to make sure this is done correctly. After several months spent racking my brain, I have come up with a mobile app currently under provisional patent and in the early stages of Droid/Apple development that is going to attempt to solve several existing socio-economic issues we are currently facing. 1) The city you live in doesn't give a shit if you can afford to live there. 2) The creditors of your bills don't give a shit if you can afford to pay them. 3) The wage gap is widening and the cost of living is increasingly untenable. 4) Citizens serving critical roles in our day-to-day society are being marginalized and the corporate endeavor of replacing them with automation or workers desperately willing to accept less is progressing…
