Antiwork

I want to tell you a little story. There is a caregiver who hooked up with John Doe. The coworker who sits next to this person at work says… “John Doe?!? I heard he has Herpes!” The caregiver freaks out and proceeds to enter Epic (where she store health information) and she digs and digs and digs through John Doe's medical chart looking all over for the positive Herpes STD test…. do you know what she found? Jack shit. The caregiver was fired immediately by HR. And rightfully so. Now this caregiver handles referrals for things like surgery authorizations for Providence Medical Group (PMG), which is where PMG gets all their money from… when she was let go it was like we turned off the water to the sink, but instead of water coming out it's god damn Benjamins. PMG leadership freaks out (I can name them) and they appeal…

A few weeks ago I had horrible kidney stones I should have been home but I needed the money and work insisted they needed me to build this building in the middle of no where. The only thing in this town was a gas station. I made good progress then felt a lightning bolt of pain. Since I am building bathrooms I was forced to go to the bathroom in this gross gas station where I laid on the floor for an hour and 45 minutes until I passed the stone so long the clerk unlocked the door and thought I died. Work was aware of my situation and them forcing me to come in. The next day i was called into the office they told me since the GPS said i was at the gas station that long they wouldn't be paying me for it. Oh and they weren't…

After boasting about record profits at the billion dollar (yes with a B) company I work for and only getting a 4% raise this year, I've started looking for a new job just to see what's out there. I've had 5 interviews with local companies. I always ask the question “Work/life balance is important to me, what do you like to do outside of work? Some of the responses I've received: I have 3 kids. Oh you know, family stuff. I'm usually working. I work so much I usually nap on the weekends. Uhhh are you serious? Please stop giving your life for these companies that don't care about you. /rant

of waking up every fucking morning angry angry that I need to get up and go somewhere I don’t want to be just to barely afford to put gas in my fucking car to get to the place I loathe with every fiber of my being just to daydream about grandiose plans all fucking day just to come home too fucking exhausted to do fucking anything all for what? Some fucking insurance? that will fucking ruin my life with bills I can’t afford if I decide to go to the fucking doctor? Fuck this stupid fucking country and this stupid fucking society WW3 is about to break out and all you mouth breathing morons can think to do is repeat the same day over and over again until you die? Oh but your children give you purpose? What about their purpose you sad sack of shit? What a sad boring…

Just to start off this is meant to be a workers rights issue so I’m going to try and keep this post as apolitical as possible, as I know it’s a little dicey to talk about such things. So as you all are aware that governments around the world are freezing the assets of Russians with close ties to Vladimir Putin. Among those that have been sanctioned is a guy called Roman Abramovich who is also the majority owner of the London football club Chelsea fc. Now that his assets have been frozen this has left the football club pretty much dead in the water as they aren’t able to do any kind of business at all since the clubs bank accounts have been frozen. This is not going to only affect the extremely wealthy players and higher ups at the club, but this is going to be felt most…

I went to school at a small engineering school and found the experience to be really painful and boring (though not really ”soul-killing”). I would regularly skip class to play music. And basically after I graduated early in 3.5 years my ass was OUT of there. I’ve played guitar since I was a kid and guitar has remained a huge part of my life throughout everything. I practice hours a day religiously (even after long school/work hours). I currently play lead guitar in an indie/dream pop group with some of my best friends. We just finished our first album and I can’t wait for it to be released. I love the process of writing and recording songs so fucking much. Long story short I ended up getting a 9-5 back home thinking it would be my ticket to living independently so I can support myself and grind super hard on…

I HATE millionaires/billionaires who virtue signal to average people saying that 'you know, money doesn't equal happiness'. So let's see: In my case I'd have: a 99% stress free life (because of 'fuck you money') would only have to work IF I wanted to (eg.: animal shelter for exotic animals, and I'd set my own hours. Probably 15 hours a week or so) Really good health (would only eat organic and free-range food. No cheap shit like fast food or these 'instant dishes' like Knorr powder etc) Could afford whatever I want: My own house, my own car (no leasing), travel around East-Asia (mountains, culture, etc, beautiful landscape too) I literally can't think of a single major issue in my life that money couldn't solve. I'd be left with some internal issues but that's only 1% of the equation soooo
