Antiwork

Hope they find out that ambition is measured by the wages and benefits we deserve, not those that are offered

I always hear stuff about overwork and wages that are barely legal, if legal at all. Why can’t we honestly just stop the whole fast food thing in general??? The whole thing about fast food is that it’s ‘fast and cheap’ but the poor lads and lasses that work in these establishments have to take on all of that ‘fast and cheap’ labour. It’s always ‘go faster’, ‘hurry up’, etc but we’re only human, we don’t have enough energy to do all this for 30+ hours a week and get paid next to nothing. Furthermore, the people we serve are hungry and usually disgruntled, the poor people working these jobs probably don’t have the energy to put up with all that at this point. I’m honestly not sure why fast food is so cheap, these workers should be getting paid enough to compensate what they have to go through during…

Don't stay where you don't want to. Lots of places to work that will value you. Make that move and don't look back

Any millennials with pensions? Just curious.

Just wondering. Havent seen anything about it in a while.

I was recently just offered a “competitive” engineering job at GM to work on their EV development team for $65k a year. Offer included: 65k plus a 4k performance based bonus and a 10 days (including sick time) PTO. Hours: tbd by manager. Never thought I’d ever turn a GM offer down, but here I am, turning down a GM job offer down.

The long term monogomous relationship ideal that is beaten onto childrens' and adults' lives is not realistic or healthy in many cases. I truly believe that all of this barbie and ken doll garbage that is forced down peoples' throats from a young age is just to keep people from leaving jobs as soon as the pain outweighs the gain. We're told to stick it out even when it sucks because of company loyalty, to not have other means of income without asking your employer first, to give till you're sick without getting much back. The truth is that people should leave any relationship that turns sour, especially a job which should never be personal. But what are people told constantly? We're a family here. That's to set you up for the sick dysfunction and patriarchal bullshit that is the work culture at some places. I think they psychologically strive…

I've noticed a harsh shift in recent weeks, a large uptick in posters who make 60k+ demanding more benefits for themselves, while ignoring the plight of the blue collar workers beneath them barely making even the slightest of living. Another poster recently spoke up about this. They ended up editing the full post and turning off notifs due to backlash from the white collar side of things. https://www.reddit.com/r/antiwork/comments/sxa9lz/having_a_decent_life_where_you_buy_a_home_start_a/ I get it. You feel like you need more. You went to college, spent the money. Great. But we need to fight together. This cannot be done only on one side. It will create more of the same. Fight for us, and we'll fight for you. Divided, we will both fail, and this shit will continue. Stop separating, start working together. That's what they want, for us to fucking crumble.
