Antiwork

The funny part is… I'm correct, I was born condemned, just a Deus Ex Machina to change the course of my life, I started to be more religious and have less faith in myself, and more faith in God. ​ waiting for divine intervention

Hi all, So here is the situation, my fiancé and I live in Amsterdam/the Netherlands and both work for large international corporations (tech and finance). We like the city itself but it doesn’t feel like home nor do we have family or a big group of friends here. Over the years we have both come to realize that the only thing that keeps us here is our work which we both really enjoy. However, we miss the untouched nature and mountains that the Netherlands obviously lacks, and hate the population density – it’s just way too crowded and busy. We have been discussing leaving the Netherlands and moving to another European country, either the UK, Austria or Switzerland as we have family in all three countries. Of course there are plenty of companies that now offer fully remote jobs (and my fiancé is happy to make a switch); i, however,…

Don't get me wrong, just the thought of quitting my job makes me happier. I hate 9-5 with a passion. I'm miserable with this lifestyle. But most of us got rent and bills to pay and don't have daddy's money. We need to plan for retirement and at least have some emergency fund. It's unlikely that we can just quit and never look back. We may check out for a few months, but eventually we need to go back to another grey, lifeless office – because we need money to survive. For some folks, they hope to achieve this by FIRE. They want to make enough money, make that money work and hopefully not have to work for money. I'm genuinely asking, for people who practice anti-work, how do you do it? Edit: I feel like it's important to point out I'm not from US. I live in a capitalism…

To keep it short: -Contractor at work was talking about issues with X because they were discussing wages. -Obvious convo from us proceeded cuz obv. Debate came into situation here: Can a contract supersede the ability to speak of wages? Had a job once that didn't let you have breaks – it was in the union contract. “Contract “Supersedes” the law.” -according to union rep Would it in situations like this if you signed one? One of the others here was saying they signed something at Target saying they couldn't discuss wages… Am I really that dense? Cuz that doesn't seem right.

Wonder what would happen if someone ran for president with the sole purpose of making long term cap gains progressive. They totally shut down any lobbyist while running. What would that do to the dispersion of wealth? To the stock market? To the housing market? To the value of the dollar?

So I Have a manager who is very overbearing, rude, and has no respect for me as when I started the job, I told her of all future events taking place in my life, and she still scheduled me on all the dates I had given her, she also has no regard for my college classes I am taking and schedules, at the same time the classes start, so I got tired of all of it and found another job and have put in my two-week notice and I am scheduled today so my question is should I even go in or finally say goodbye to that place and prepare for my next job Edit: I only ask because I feel almost guilty for even thinking of not showing up I was raised with the mindset of you stick it out no matter what that’s why I’m asking everyone else’s…
