Antiwork

just prefacing this saying I have depression that is pretty much untreatable. ive been through the whole gamut of treatments to no success. but I started a customer service job after a year of unemployment and i can’t muster up the energy to do anything after work. i get one day off at a time, so i usually need to spend that whole day sleeping. instead of exercising (and the body pain is crazy now from standing all day, with my scoliosis), instead of playing the hundreds of dollars worth of games piling up in my room and instead of drawing which was my life’s hobby. I used to draw every day, now I haven’t in over a month. i feel like working (customer service in particular where I regularly get pretty emotional from rude people/coworkers) destroyed my creativity, my energy to talk to any online friends or maintain my…

Doing a research paper on the subject, thought I would get some info straight from the source!

A while back I made a post about my job telling everybody that we had to clock out to go to the bathroom, well I had spoken to a lawyer or two and I feel pretty comfortable with what was said. As of right now there is nothing that can be done legally, I can report them but unless they do anything in retaliation I have no case. However, we received a new senior vice president over my region recently and after informing him of the toxicity and bullying that was occurring from my regional and my team lead both of them have been fired. As he put it best”you should be comfortable while working, not feel like you're livelihood is being threatened” he is also transferring me to a different region due to certain employees on my team feeling some type of way about both of these employees being…

I’ve been working for a moving company and recently had noticed I never get overtime and when some of my coworkers brought it up to the boss, the boss realized his mistake. He had apparently been doing something wrong with the gusto payroll app and therefore none is us had ever gotten overtime. To claim that overtime now he wants us to manually go back over every week we have worked and calculate out how much he owes us, is that normal? He also claims the weeks are Wednesday to Wednesday but when I check my pay stubs and compare them to the hours I have clocked it looks as if it’s just Sunday to Sunday however I’m less worried about this. Please let me know if my boss legally needs to be calculating out my over time or if I should have to.

I’ve been feeling burned out for a year now. It’s gotten to the point where I call out sick from work and when I do go to work, I troll my boss (saying shit I know will piss her off) and then do the bare minimum of work. I want to go part time but won’t make enough to survive if I did. I hate capitalism and corporations. This shit is killing me and I’m miserable.

So I’ve been following the anti work sub for awhile now, not too involved mostly just lurking and reading others post. I also don’t know much about politics or the different sides but I support Anti work and everything it stands for. I don’t understand the entire movement as far as the end goal but just coming on here daily to read things and see updates on how things are in other places and peoples lives just really gets me going and fuels me to find better and seek better as far as my work life. I have a pretty terrible work history, I’m 20 turning 21 but I’m not ignorant and have been through my fair share, I pride myself in always being teachable. I don’t want to get too personal but I do want to share my history in the work industry and how its lead me to…

Long time lurker here. Though I'm not really antiwork, I am strongly for promoting human dignity. Reading through the posts of the last several months has really changed my perspective on work. Not so much my own, but what others do and the spectrum of benefits different jobs provide, i.e. (pay, insurance, pto, etc.). It seems like these spectrums fit into two castes. One that provides dignity and one that does not. The castes are separated not only by pay, insurance and PTO, but also respect. An chasm separates these two castes. While there is some movement between the two, it is rare. I wrote about it on Medium just to get my thoughts down and I'd like to hear from /r/antiwork. Do we have an employment caste system? If so, how would you define it? My oversimplified definitions are as follows. Upper caste provides: Safety, security and respect combined…
