Antiwork

I absolutely do not mind working. I'm self motivated, and I get nervous if I have down time. Basically the perfect slave. I make 23.50, and live modestly with a house, a wife and 3 children. Why does anywhere that pays decently wanna work you 10-12 hours every day!?? I'm totally fine with 8. I feel like I'm still in control of my schedule. But 10 I feel like the schedule controls me. I don't wanna work extra to make extra. If I wanna make extra, I'll do side stuff that I wanna do on my own terms. Just wanted to rant that's all. I love you all ️

This isn't a political post, and it isn't about covid. Honestly, what I'm most worried about is I feel that now people are going to see just how fucking depressed I am at work. At least for the past year or so I have been able to hide behind my mask emotionally. I have never been good at hiding my emotions, and my job is so monotonous it has been making me question why I even try anymore. I just don't think I'll be able to provide “service with a smile” like the business wants because I am so goddamn depressed. I've been applying for new jobs for months, but as I keep coming up empty-handed I begin to wonder if I will ever find a job that brings me contentment. Consider this post me screaming into the void. Thanks for reading.

I've been teaching for a couple of years here and there. I moved to a new country for school and then started working there. I lost my privilege to teach cuz I am not a certified teacher in this country. I understand the rules and I'm not being bitter about it. I had other experiences and skills which helped me to land some gigs. I'm barely making my ends meet so I am looking for a full time job once again. I was approached by a few HR working in different day care centers. I lined up a few interviews in the hope that I can get another source of income during this post pandemic inflation season. I have skills and I am good with kids. I did well in these interviews. I spent 40 minutes for each interview trying to present the best of myself to my potential bosses.…

Hi everyone! there was a lifeguard post the other day and it got me the motivation to finally call out my old workplace, The Y goddamn MCA. im just gonna list things from the past 8 months that i dealt with and see what everyone thinks. Got yelled at for not having a guard shirt. (First day, i thought we'd get one for free.) Had to be the camp nurse and social worker (with 0 background in it) Stopped a kid attacking a counselor with scissors and got yelled at over it Was part time but making me work 32 hours because no one came in Had to be “the boss” one day because my boss took a last second trip and told me the day before. Which resulted in me opening at 6 Am after working 11-8 the day prior. HE ALSO CLOCKED IN FOR THE TRIP! So he…

I took over as a manager for a small business after lockdown lifted in 2020. It was just a part time job that I had while I was finishing up my degree. The job was insanely fun and it had a lot of fringe benefits. The owner and I became very close through Covid for the shear fact that we literally survived because I lived and breathed the place even more than he did. This job was physical to a degree that working construction in the south was actually easier in my opinion. I cannot understate the amount of suffering that went into keep this place afloat. At one point when things became so overwhelming he offered to sell the place to me so he could get out of it. I declined because I didn't want to bury myself in his mistakes, which were many. In the beginning of last…

just that, i don't dream of labor
