Antiwork

Hi all. I’m a tech worker in my 20s and fully support the anti-work movement and proud be a part of it. My partner and I have regular conversations about stuff happening in this sub and recently we had a rather interesting train of thought. We were talking about what an ideal income structure should look like and wondering if gig type jobs like waiting tables, driving cabs, delivering food etc. were designed to be part time activities that you can do for extra money but they are not designed to be full time jobs that can help you fully support yourself/family. Agreed that companies like Uber exploit labor and something should be done about that. But going back to the original argument, how would the society change if all jobs no matter the skills/industry pay a livable wage with which you can fully support yourself?

I hope this is the right subreddit for this question. Basically I need to miss a bit of work so I can interview somewhere less shitty and I’ve exhausted my good excuses. Already pulled the doctor/vet ones. Right now I’m leaning towards food poisoning/stomach bug but I need help selling it. Already planning to skip lunch that day. Better suggestions?

Short back story so I work as a line cook at a counter service restaurant that opened over the pandemic. They havnt been doing so well and I’m pretty sure my boss isn’t making money, in fact probably losing money after payroll/expenses n all that. But he asked me to cover him so he can go away for a couple days. Is it reasonable to ask for a bonus or time and 1/2 or something like that? At my old spot when my manager needed me to cover he’d pay me his wage for those hours.
