Antiwork

The reality is that US is not going to get European style welfare states. The economic system is arranged in such a way as to prevent that. The only solution is violence or complete overthrowal of capitalism if you want any changes. Also European countries themselves are moving away from that. This attitude of, “we just need to change government policies”, is the wrong way to go.

I work an 8:30-5:00 office job. When it comes to lunch breaks, I still think of the mindset, “I get 30 minutes off to relax, eat, and unwind a little.” However I see many of my coworkers eating and working at the same time! I’m wondering, is this the same deal for most people in the US? Or do you get to leave the office for a bit to get lunch?

Having being fucked around 4 times trying to set up an interview (and having booked the time out of my calender) I told them I was not interested in working for a company that was this disorganised.

I work at a hospital as a registrar. Essentially I'm one of the go-to employees. Cross trained in 5 different areas of our department. On average working 52hrs+ every two weeks. And let me tell you about the reports. Everyday, running through the same report to register add-ons, gathering cardiac appt regs from 3 different areas everyday and being expected to complete ALL of it while also having to do the vascular registrations and authorizations!

Over the course of two weeks I had to tell the same lady 3 times that authorization still hadn't been…

I am a current engineering student who is trying to finding an internship, and I can’t even get a single fucking interview despite having good grades at a good school. It is stupid. What kind of a shitty time do we live in when fucking engineers can’t find jobs? It makes me really question why I gave up my social life in college just to end up going nowhere
