Antiwork

Last week I realized that working was the direct result of my depression getting worse. I could tell that I was just not enjoying 'work' in anymore and it was causing me more panic attacks and anxiety than usual. So I asked one of my warehouse co-workers, “do you ever cry at work or after work?” There answer shocked me! I thought I was the only one that cried before my shift, during my shift, and I went home cried because I dreaded coming back. The mindless, repetitive, never ending, nature of the warehouse work made the place a living hell. How have we allowed the human race to be used as wage slaves when we know the work will never provide a decent living, a car, or home. Most of my co-workers are food insecure and pre-homeless… Thank you Jeff Bezos for the opportunity to work.

One of them is literally Workplace Facebook by Meta where I just get notifications of staff motivation posts throughout the day. I’m quitting two weeks in for a few reasons (mainly because my back can’t take working on my feet much longer) but this definitely didn’t make me want to stay.

People fucking hate them.

I am from Iceland *the land of free market capitalism that had a major domino effect on the world economy back in 08. “FUN” fast: guess who's privatizing our banks again and selling it to crony friends for 30% discount while benefit/social safety net starved workers are losing homes and security…drum roll please: our Panama paper, voter apathy, generational wealth, father knows best financial minister…Bjarni Ben! Last year our far right GOT AWAY WITH ACTUAL VOTER FRAUD and no one gives a shit in the media cause its state run. Who polices the FUCKING POLICE?? My friend lost his driving license (which he needs for his job) because trace amounts were found in his urine. Why was there THC in his urine (THC is illegal but not CBD which is now over the counter). Because my friend has a stutter which gets worse when stressed and weed is the only…

This cycle has gone on gor too long leading to high turn over rates in just about ever job in America. From experience i had to lie on several entry level positions just to get into a stick room. I have lied alot on resumes and gotten the job and held it for over a year with no experience in stocking but for some reason i was able to do an entry level job without any experience without issue. Hmm.

I've survived rounds of layoffs multiple times at many jobs. I've seen the signs ahead of time, and can pretty much predict who gets cut. This is what you should know. (This primarily applies to a corporate/office environment). I've worked a few places where the writing was on the wall for several months before the actual layoffs, yet I saw so many coworkers taken with complete surprise and utter shock when it happened. You should know the signs, so you can update your resume and start planning your references ahead of time. If you're lucky you'll get severance, but it may not be that good, and it's not guaranteed. These are all potential signs your job may be endangered. See a few of these going on at the same time? The writing is on the wall and you're a fool not to see it. Sign 1 – The financials. If…
