Antiwork

I've seen too many posts here complaining about streamers, OF users, and whatever else. We're not the problem because we break back for our money too. It's not easy to entertain enough to turn a profit. The problem is the monsters hoarding 6 or 7 or 8 figures of wealth off of the backs of people at our level. The problem is the legislators who let this world become this way. We're on the same page as you even if a different part of it. Me? I'm a warehouse worker.

I always thought the rat race was bs, and society is run by selfish assholes. But it's the society we live in. I don't think we should get extremely depressed over…

Why does it seem like you have to make friends with everyone at work anymore these days? Why isn’t it enough that I am reliable, do my work efficiently, I am professional, and polite? My last job I got let go from because of “personality conflicts.” When actually I just didn’t put the company on a pedestal like they did themselves. A few of my co-workers bullied me. Their “training” was actually more like hazing. So I just kept to myself, did my work, was cordial and professional. Yet, I kept everyone at arm’s length. I was there to do a job, but I guess they wanted more. Just doing the job I was hired to do wasn’t enough. I didn’t want to jump right into the social culture. I wasn’t interested in making friends with any of them. I stood up for myself when I was pushed around. So,…

With the rising cost of gas, we should be compensated for our commute times if they are forcing us into the office.
