Anti-work Dating

So, we all know that someone's career, wealth and job prospects is one of the things everyone gets assessed on when they date a new person. Unfortunately, due to the world we live in people often have to make relationship choices based on cold economics than their true feelings. In light of this, how would you negotiate the dating market while Anti-work? How do you explain that you prefer to live frugally and have more free time/not have to be abused by a sociopathic manager. How to avoid expensive dates and gifts in favour of cheaper options without seeming tight-fisted or like a loser? Should I just accept that as long as I am anti-work, I can expect to be single? Thanks.

Anybody knows the HR-tool “One Conversation”? Company who provides this? It is used to sort employees in case you want to find out which one you offer a termination agreement.

No Contract

So I have just handed in my notice at my job of 5 months with a private health care company. The pay is shocking and management are worse. Given 3 weeks notice despite only technically having to give one, as I am still in probation period. Asked HR to upload my contract as when we first started everyone was paid a month and a half wages in advance, so when you leave if you go without working your notice you have to pay this money back. (I heard that a woman who left before Christmas without working her notice who apparently has been threatened with bailiffs if she doesn’t pay back). Response from HR was I don’t have access to your contract. I asked, who does? Reply was “it wasn’t uploaded to the system when it was generated”. Surely they do not have a leg to stand on in this…

No Comments on Unemployment leads to depression

From an antiwork perspective…can you help understand? Studies such as this one suggest that men have an increased chance of depression when unemployed. Studies like this one show there is a correlation (but maybe depression causes lack of motivation which causes unemployment). I've also heard of this happening anecdotally. Are these bad studies? Is it the societal pressure to work that leads people to get depressed when unemployed (negative self-talk)?

Employee Buy-in

Following this community for a while, so I am seeking advice. I manage a team of about 50 people. Where every employee makes at least 60k (boss makes 1.3x lowest employee, average is over 80k) hours 9-4, 4 weeks of vacation, unlimited sick time, full health and contributions to 401k. Any personal reason (bank, appointments, kids sick, looking at homes, etc) we can almost always cover off and let someone go (with pay) to go deal with their personal time. However, employee buy-in is still not at an acceptable level. What other suggestions can be made to improve buy-in that is anti work approved?
