Antiwork

He only sleeps like 4-5 hours a day, works 7 days a week pretty much and only has maybe 3 hours off of work during the weekends, he works hard for me and my family I know and I know the expenses for me are high due to me being autistic but still

Once in a while, we all come across a call for boycotting a company that fouled their employee. Why not also make it a trend to support and help with our wallet as far as financially possible, those businesses, big and small, who treat their employees extremely well?

Is anyone else REALLY sick of seeing people who have family connections getting preferential treatment for hiring and/or promotions? It's even worse if they are unqualified or undeserving of such positions. I've seen it in all 3 post college jobs I've had. My wife has seen it in her workplace and was passed up on promotions by younger girls who have the family name. I've seen it benefit family friends, one example – a recent college grad with a criminal justice degree, and no relevant work history, got a job in the financial field because his dad is friends with a higher up at said financial firm. I like the guy and glad he's doing well but it's frustrating that I did all the “right things” (licensed engineer at an engineering company) when others get to skip the line and get positions/promotions they aren't qualified or deserving of.

I feel such a sense of relief not having to work for someone else and being able to connect with myself and the world around me. I haven't worked in 5 days due to quitting but am going to an interview tomorrow. In just these 5 days I've felt more fulfilled than I have in the past years of working. ​ Having awareness of myself, of my surroundings, taking in those small moments, are near impossible in work. “Fast paced,” they say. 8 hours of laser sharp focus and drive. I suffocate my worthless, childish desires. To play in the bubbles, admire the beautiful dish I created, to slow my breath, stretch my body, to glance out the window at the seagulls basking in the sun on the rocks.
