Hey, I have been hearing a lot of things from this subreddit, ever since the infamous Fox News interview took place. I was honestly a bit thrown off by the name of the subreddit. I don't know what antiwork means? Do you guys literally mean that you guys don't want to work? Which if true, is kinda odd. I am the son of immigrants, so working has always been part of my life to a great extent. With an open mind, I will like to more about your arguments, and why work is bad.
So last year in March I started this job in a Audio Video Equipment store as a sales person. It was going good for a while but then I got Covid and was quarantined for 3 weeks. I wanted to go back to work but my whole city went under a lockdown and then it opened in June as partially lockdown so I could only work 7.5 hrs instead of 10. But due to cut down hours they also cut my pay by 35%. I still stuck there cuz I wanted to learn and gain some experience. Now after working there for almost a year they are always harassing me and pointing out my minimal mistakes and cursing me always. When I joined this job there were 2 people including me as a sales person. But the other guy quit a few months ago and now all work and sales…
Hi, I am very frustrated when I see a group like this. I dropped out of private college at 19 because I was terrified of going into debt. Took 6 years working / schooling part time to get a math degree from state school not because I loved it but because it was difficult. I currently work at a top 5 bank as an analyst and literally all I want to do is contribute to the company, clock out, workout, and study stats/cs books. My philosophy of work to be the best I can be or die trying has given me SO much joy in life. I also suffer from major back pain at 25 years old which does not allow me to sit at all. I stand for about 15 hours a day and now that I cannot run anymore (my favorite thing in the world as a teenager)…
Im really curious to hear your stories, because I only get maybe one or two bad customers a day in my city. I live in Manitoba, Canada if that helps. I just wonder how bad it is for other people? Ive also noticed a majority of the rude customers I get are people in their 30s to 60s. Not important but just a little detail.
Edit: I hope this is appropriate to post. Idk. I’m just so upset and need to talk about this. Please delete if this violates any rules. I don’t even know where to start. I work at chili’s as a server and tonight an elderly woman passed away at one of my my tables (stopped responding/breathing, slumped over). Her family let me know what was going on and that they had called 911 and an ambulance was on the way. I let my manager know right away and tried to help the family as much as I could. My manager was literally just concerned with making sure everyone’s food got out, parties on the wait were sat, etc. I was crying and panicking because I’m 21 and have never seen anything like this before. It was this woman’s 97th birthday and I had just brought her her ice cream/birthday candle like…
Video games are the new opium of the masses. They distract us from the grind of laboring everyday of our lives. They are the product of a billion dollar industry designed to extract profit from our valuable free time. Worst of all they serve to condition us to do as we are told. Complete a task, gain a reward. Do it enough and you level up. Over and over and over. Then when you are done, buy a new game. Compete against your peers to win points. Complete the task. Level up. It’s brainwashing us to be good workers, while distracting us.
This is obviously an anarcho-canine post fascist hegemony founded on the principal Skinner's front porch.
