Antiwork

Tons of stories about this psychopath. This is one of my favorites. I developed training programs for work. Had recently finished one and was starting new stuff. My manager comes by and says she had a meeting in 45 minutes but couldn't make it due to other work. She asked if I could go in her staid because there may be a question or two about my new program. I say no problem. I ask how many people will be there. She says 12 so without being told I print out 12 packages with a summary. I head up to the meeting a few minutes early. The meeting room is still occupied from the previous booking so people are waiting outside. I see a guy I know from another department and start to chat with him. I ask what this meeting is all about and he looks at me sideways.…

There's so many people in this sub from other countries who constantly ask us why we haven't rejected the awful system we have in place in the US, and it's so easy to explain how the system is meant to keep us down so we can't fight back…what do you think will be the actual tipping point at which the working class will fight back. Like, people can't get approved to buy homes and are forced to pay ridiculous amounts in rent and work 2 jobs just to keep a roof over their heads and food on the table, and corporations are out here buying up homes to rent out at above market value while inflation is rising…something has to break and presumably soon…what do you think it'll be?

The cost of public college tuition has increased 2000% in the last 45 years. For private tuition 1600%. Looking from 1978 it’s an increase of 1225% which compared to shelter (despite how expensive it is) has only increased 370% in the same time period. I wonder how much these organisations would raise prices if students would go regardless of whether they would typically be able to afford it, or whether their preferred subject isn’t feasible to study at because that field doesn’t pay well enough to justify it. (Not an argument against doing so, just pointing it out) Aren’t costs already ridiculous enough? If it would cost you $50,000 total imagine if you paid $50/hr for 1-1 tutoring in your desired field… that’s 1000 hrs 1-1. If the average salary of a professor is $101,000. how is it so expensive as a student to sit in a room with so…

Everyone I interview is either underpaid or unemployed. I'd hire them all if I could. But I can't. I get to hire one and feel bad about the ones I couldn't help. Except is it even help? Because this place has issues. Decent pay, but high BS. Particularly with this role. I feel like an asshole.
