Antiwork

Okay here’s some very surface level background: So I work for a bank. Over the past few weeks I got an insultingly low raise, was told to learn and pick up others’ job responsibilities if I wanted more(which I have done), had my promised transfer to the area I’m supposed to move to yanked away, and was laughed out of the room when I negotiated for a more fair salary.
