Antiwork

Just quit my job after three days at an assembly line type job. Since I started, I have had phenomenal performance working as fast as people who have been there for months. I received ZERO feedback on how well I was working, no managers spoke to me, except for one who was watching me for a while and I thought they were gonna say SOMETHING ANYTHING good about me. The only thing I was told? “I need you to put your mask over your nose for me” MY BLOOD WAS FUCKING BOILING AFTER AND I JUST QUIT AND LEFT MY NEXT BREAK

Today I did my exit interview survey for the EMS job I've had for almost 4 years now. I joined in 2018 working full time with massive amounts of over time to compensate being able to afford to live while burning myself out. The week before Christmas 2019 the company was bought out by a large with a few billion dollar net worth. I didn't immediately transfer to the new company because I heard it was worse. So I waited till almost the end of February 2020 to apply for a rare part time position. I had a paulse and had worked with most of the people now in management there before so I was hired at the rate of $13.70 an hour. Same circus different name essentially. In June of 2020 they announced the raises. In the announcement email it stated that all brand new incoming EMTs would start…

My job is so exhausting. It’s all encompassing and literally takes my entire life. It’s like a never ending hamster wheel of bs. Most days I feel like I’m being dragged by a truck that won’t stop. Ughhhhhhhghhhggghh

My wage is around 2000 MYR which equates to around 472 dollars per month. I'm tired of this

I’ve barely slept all night. I’m feeling super weak and I can hardly get out of bed. I’m terrified of phoning it, it makes my anxiety sky high. But I really don’t think I’d be able to deal with work today

How is creating new jobs a good thing? If those jobs weren't there before why do we need them now? Yes, I understand more jobs means more opportunities to find employment and people need employment to survive. But isn't it an incredibly short-sighted celebration? It should be obvious that as a society we should be striving towards fewer jobs. If all the work that needs to be done is being done, why should people be forced to artificially find more things to do? It's absurd. The movement towards some sort of universal basic income is so necessary.

After discussing my immediate managers behavior (warehouse environment) I spoke to his boss (A) I agreed with his way of smoothing over the issue. I even said things like I'll be open minded and will go with his approach etc. On my way out he asked if I felt better about the conversation and I said no. I had already mentioned I have social anxiety when explaining the original story. So he asks me the question and I said no. He. Went. Off. He told me I was disrespectful and all kinds of things regarding his management style that I literally never said. Im crying at this point and told him ” I'm sorry I made you feel disrespected, however you asked me how I felt and this conversation is deeply uncomfortable for me, as I mentioned already I have social anxiety. I told you my thoughts on the discussion…
