Antiwork

Okay, some background first: I work as a doctor (general practitioner) in a small rural village of about 3000 people. So you pretty much get to know most people rather quickly. Due to nature of my job, I see people when they are down and in need of help. It is not uncommon to hear all kinds of things about my patients life. Unsurprisingly work is one of the most common sources of stress for most people. The fear of losing a job or missing a pay check due to an illness is something I see almost daily. But there is one interesting trend I have noticed. When a small business owner gets sick and comes to my office, they have this tendency to REALLY make a big deal how everything will now crumble without them. I have heard numerous times how “salaried people just cant understand how hard it…

a country that cant afford to give its citizens health care. gives $6,600,000,000 to a country who can afford to give its citizens free health care, to defend itself from a country who also provides its citizens with free health care.

Yesterday night I was working at the restaurant, which I’ve been working at for quite some time. Although not Chinese myself, I come from Asian descent and I find a lot of Chinese influence through my job and my friends. Last night a kid aged maybe 13 to 15 years old came into the restaurant and began yelling very anti-Asian racial slurs. The restaurant was full of people eating and my 2 coworkers and I who handle the counter and cashier were busy handling customers who wanted to order food on the phone. I yelled “Hey get out of here” and the kid ran off. A lot of customers, especially the ones dining in, began to feel distraught, but it wasn’t too major. About 5 to 10…

Title says it all. If I want a “promotion” I have to ask for the new job and submit my resume. Which they have and they know exactly what I’ve done since I got my current job. Box ticking bullshit. Additionally, they had said that new positions would be offered internally before made public, but I’ve been looking for this one, so I know it wasn’t. Just a rant. I’m done.
