Antiwork

I get that there are some places that could go out of business, but there are other places that are thriving! For example, instead of grabbing lunch at the Chick-Fil-A near my office, I'll order delivery from a Chinese restaurant near my apartment when I'm feeling like a low-effort lunch. Also, the benefits (health benefits of being able to cook food for yourself when you like, take a nice walk or bike ride around your neighborhood in the time you otherwise would have been commuting, less stress, better work/life balance, benefits of not using as much gasoline, etc.) seem to far outweigh the negatives, from an individual AND community perspective. Is it just that he's prioritizing commercial real estate friends? Is that really enough to try to disrupt everyone else from living their preferred lifestyle?

I started a new job a few weeks ago and my boss has been a disrespectful ass. I want to quit via email before Monday and I was just wondering if anyone has any advice on what the email should consist of. Not looking to burn any bridges in my industry or tell him off. I just don’t want to get in too deep at this job to where it is an actual inconvenience for me to quit. Thanks!

I’ve always wanted to share this but didn’t know where to. I think this community will appreciate it tho. I apologize if my writings not the best. I’m currently in my 3rd year of electromechanical engineering, basically, I’m doing both electrical and mechanical engineering plus focusing heavily on robotics and automation. My dream for humanity is a future where work is entirely carried out by robots and automated systems. I want to see, within my lifetime or shortly thereafter, a world where humans are catered to hand and foot by machines in a manner which is sustainable and can exist in perpetuity. People in my family have made fun of me before for saying I don’t want people to work for anything. But isn’t that something we should strive for? Greater reward for less effort? Well, this is what I’ve decided to dedicate my life to. Please don’t fear immigrants…

So my boss now has mandatory meetings that requires us to bring a “pot luck” item . I don’t think I’ll participate. What would you do? I hate these type of things anyway
