Antiwork

Unfortunately, I have wound up on anti work, desperately just wanting to work. I was terminated from 2 jobs since the beginning of September last year, and I am beginning to feel like a lost cause. Both times I was let go in a disturbingly similar manner. The first was an utter shock. I was being told by my laboratory manager how great my contribution to the team was exactly 1 hour before having my exit interview. During the interview, the senior lab tech, who I thought I had befriended, said I was being let go based on performance. I was shaking, confused, and spiraling. I asked him to elaborate, since I had done nothing but do my best, and he said, “Low motivation, I wasn’t grasping concepts, and I just didn’t belong there”. This felt like a stab in the gut. I was constantly asking to do more work,…

Why do so many people idolize the Elon Musks of the world? The oligarchs, the billionaires? Do you think you will someday be one of them? They seem to get a free pass because they create thousands of barely subsistence wage deadend jobs! They don't give a shit about their employees, health or safety or if they can afford rent or food–while they get away with not paying taxes. Thay are laughing all the way to the bank because our current system praises them, enriches them and keeps the rank and file workers down. When will people see that this type of capitalism is a toxic system and must stop?

I’m a sociopath, I was diagnosed with ASPD., and also a business owner, granted I treat my employees good from what they say, but I run my company from a productive mindset, not a financial mindset, but ether way I am an extremely apathetic self centered person. People with ASPD are much more likely to be CEO’s lawyers, and so on. Prison too, but still. So here is a prospective, if I was your self centered asshole boss. First off, you can quit all day long, the worst case scenario, they would have to use a staffing company like pride staff, or other ones. We have a population of 300+ million, and since Reagan gutted unions, and implemented right to work laws and employment at will, bosses treat their employees how they view their employees….which is expendable. Even with the birth rate down, which is every developed nation, 300+ million…

I took a 9 convective day vacation to enjoy my wedding. 7 business days, I requested PTO at least 4 months in advance. Nearly two months after my wedding. I met with my manager. He wrote me up for “not submitting my timesheet” that week I was getting married out of state. Correct me if I'm wrong, I requested an entire week off, grounds for not submitting my timesheet. Seeing I'm in an entirely different state? Not on the clock? And a filled out and he signed a formal paper saying I wouldn't be there? Not to mention this happened over a month ago, at that point…? I'm pretty sure they were just trying to write people up to fire them. Because ironically my coworker was also written up because of his “attitude” towards another co-worker. What's funny, they wrote up the other coworker who made that complaint as well.…

I always laughed at this growing up when my family and teachers always spouted that crap. Sorry but if I set something to where only my friends can see it, only my friends can see it.. “future employers” don’t have some magic account that sees everything on your page or account regardless of your privacy settings cause that’s illegal Wtf? Who started this stupid myth? These companies don’t care about us enough to provide decent health insurance or a living wage, we’re just bodies to them, our personal lives don’t matter to them. Sure there are some companies that will try to look at your shit but if you have half a brain you set your shit to private and post whatever you want just never understood who was stupid enough to spread this myth.
