Antiwork

This would help the green transition, because if the government doesn't pay, the working poor won't be able to get EVs for at least another decade on average, maybe two decades, which is about the lifespan of a car nowadays. The green transition is by far the top issue in the world right now. It cannot be ignored.

Everybody needs and probably wants to work or do something. We should be improving work conditions and pay instead of ending it all together.

I’m a graduate with a bachelor’s and I will be interviewing with a couple of companies in the coming days. It’s been a little tough even getting to an interview stage in the application process, but I’m wondering if I should let the interviewers know I am currently also considering other options with other companies. Would that help me in negotiating a better deal? Or should I keep it on the down low? (Not in the USA btw) Thanks!

anyone know some good sites to find reviews about a company? i’m located in australia.

I had a argument with my friend who had points about allowing room for reasonable doubt, not turning away opportunities even if there's some concern on my end, etc. What are red flags that you simply can't ignore, or on the opposite side of this spectrum, what are flags that you'd find forgivable?

There's always that one coworker that's a totally insufferable boot licker that will always throw his/her coworker's under the bus to be in favour with the higher ups. I have a customer service job that I hate. My daily schedule for work is, I wake at 8 and leave at 9:30 and reach work at 11:30. A bloody 2hr commute. Than I work 8hrs where I have to deal with a management that has no idea what's it doing with supervisors that are rude and condescending, one of them is even sexist and of course they don't care about you, as well as annoying customers (most are alright but some are just annoying), this is not made any better considering I'm an introvert. Than there is that coworker that absolutely loves to report his coworkers to the supervisors to gain favour. God, I hate that guy. The smallest of things,…

I work in retail, specifically a department store, and it’s exhausting. The work always seems never ending. However, once work is over and I’m driving back home, it’s the happiest I feel throughout the entire day. Very little things compare to the feeling of freedom, and just for a couple of minutes I get to bask in that joy. It may be sad that that’s the highlight of my day but regardless, being a slave to capitalist America has this one silver lining. A taste of true, well earned and deserved bliss.

I saw a post about someone's boss telling them work was more important than their kid, and it reminded me of a conversation I had in my last month of employment at my old job. Quick background: Back in the fall our parent company decided to close our facility. Final shutdown was to be completed by spring. Come February there was maybe 30 people left from 200. I was the only sanitation specialist left on site by then (boss got covid and had some nasty complications that kept him working from home) and we had two months at most till we closed for good. So I'm at work doing my job when I'm suddenly told by management that I need to deep clean two of our machines to ship internationally, and that it needs to be done today. Now I can get one machine to in-house clean in about 3-4…
