Antiwork

I see most of the having nice cars, that most people can't afford monthly I can assume most of them are making 2 or 3 grand monthly to afford a nice car. I have looked on company's house for a lot of business's owner's addresses' most of the live in nice area's and I saw a tesla I can assume It's owned by the business owner and not leased. I have seen most of them live in, se-detached or de-attached houses I do know the average price of those house's are 100k+ and I can assume most of them are bought and not leased. I can assume most of them that own 100k+ house's, do not have a mortgage on the property. ​

Honestly, what’s the longest you’ve gone in an interview process? Any experience being “stringed” along? I’m at a month. 5 interviews. Final interview was last week. Still won’t give me an answer I hate it.

I feel like I want to be on the side of r/antiwork but every post well at least the popular ones are mostly about shitty service jobs. I’m just curious to see if it’s a service job problem where you’d expect shitty bosses and managers or if it really is a full spectrum thing.

I've seen many times how difficult it is for small to mid-size businesses to compete against large corporations. There are various reasons for this – including disparities in terms of resources, knowledge / insights, and research. Large companies have had the advantage of building up their capacity over many decades, both nationally and internationally. It's often a struggle for smaller businesses to gain market recognition and have decent work conditions. Typically, smaller businesses don't have the funds to pay their workers as well compared to the larger companies. They usually aren't able to provide the same quality work resources (such as technology, product support, and so forth). To me, it would make sense for all US states to agree on a sales tax on large corporations, and invest that money into subsidies for smaller businesses. Those funds could help the smaller organizations build up their operations, pay their employees better,…

I’ve been Buddhist for over fifteen years and have always tried to work in jobs that were “more necessary” for society to function but I had a dream that really started me from what I’ve been doing. I’ve been working as a shipper/receiver in agro wear products manufacturing. I always thought it wasn’t ideal as it contributes to animal agriculture (a no in Buddhism) but still felt that since plant agriculture was at least essential, I could and should do it. My dream last night has kind of snapped me out of this and has forced me to examine how I’m also responsible for how I react to capitalism. In the dream, lots of disasters were happening. Oceans had collapses and the atmosphere had worn so thin that people were being dragged out into outer-space, right off the planet. We were driving around frantically in a van avoiding some other…

i feel strange, its surreal…its a good thing kinda since this place is not good to say the least and has made me suffer and continues too. I thought id be trapped for a loooooong time and my whole thinking, time was revolved around work problems andmastering an escape plan. Ive only been here a short while. My time is coming to an end this week but i feel like its not happening…idk it or i feel strange My boss told me causally this week will be my last. He gave his reasons (not personal) but i kinda believe there might be even a small percentage chance it being personal cus ive had a lot of informal grievances with them. I almost feel like asking my boss if its really happenig. Idk what to do.

I work for a multinational IT consulting company. I was hired 3 months ago as a Workforce Manager though I had been trying to get a junior consulting position prior to that. Workplace Management wasn't panning out as it wasn't interesting to me, so I spoke to my manager about other opportunities. It turns out the parent company (I was working for one of their holdings but ultimately it's all under the same umbrella) was looking for a junior consultant in a practice for which I have many of the skills required. I told my current manager that I would only do it if I could make the same salary and if my previously approved time off to complete a master's class would also be carried over (The class requires me to take 2 half days off per week for a total of 7 weeks and I would use my…

Going back to school this fall so I told my boss I would be here until May at the latest but that it could possibly be sooner. I now realize I should have just waited and given a two weeks notice. I just wanted the company to have enough time to find a replacement. Turns out that was a bad idea as they are being way harsher of my work and have began to micromanage me. I guess they want to get everything they can out of me while I am still here. On top of that, it was decided that I would be moved from my office to a cubicle. I don’t even mind working in a cubicle, I’ve done it before. I just don’t want to have to go through the process of moving all my stuff just for a few weeks. It’s been well over 2 weeks…

Working in this fruitless position makes me cry. The thought of doing this kind of meaningless work for the rest of my life makes me want to die. I don't know how I'll make enough money to support myself by doing anything that pays less than this. Why does this feel so hopeless.
