Antiwork

The year is 2022. We are all slaves, and the owners are incorporated, businesses given the rights of a person without the liability. The biggest victory of western government was to make us all think this was not the case, to make us believe in the illusion of freedom and choice, to turn us all on each other, accusing different races, genders, economic classes, religions, for restricting our freedom of a human life worth living. When all along we never had freedom and free choice to begin with. Where do we go from here?

Who’s with me?

I'll start off with the good news. I recently accepted a new position with a pay increase and much better benefits. But here's the surprise part. When I put in my notice to my last job. My manager called and told me how surprised she was that I was leaving and how it would be a huge hit to the company that I left because I was involved in so many different projects and one of their top 4 employees. She thought that giving me more responsibility and different projects was a “bonus” and would help with retention. Which had definitely helped with not getting burnt out. The problem is they were paying me 25 percent lower then the other employees at the top. I found this out by talking to them. I told my manager that I wanted a raise to reflect my proficiency in all the different projects…

I quit my job in December to study full time for a license. I still can't believe I will be doing the same exact work for double the pay later this year. It's a 9-6 job, with an hour commute (only 9 miles, but that's Los Angeles for ya), so I had no time to live my life. I saved up enough rent for a year and quit. I'm happy and sad. I don't like the complete emptiness of my day (besides studying), but at the same time I'm scared I'll never want to go back. It's so freeing not to give up 12 hours of your day to people who make all the money that you are earning. Not sure why I'm typing this up. Just needed to get it off my chest. I hate that after the next few months I'll most likely be working a 9-5 until…
