Antiwork

>minimum wage increases to 25$/h >small companies go bancrupt,large greedy companies pay more for their workers, but they also raise the prices of the products so they don't loose the comfort of having big bucks that they have already been acustomed to >people get more, but have to pay more >nothing changes for minimum wage increase to work you'd need governament make them unable to raise their prices, which would never work because companies would always find a way, example: selling bread by slices instead of loafs there surely must be a better way than minimum wage increase magically getting rid of all the problems you have

Cause like i feel like it should be about the leftist perspective of abolishing work and if its not can someone direct me to a place that is about that.

“Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door” The exploitation of desperate disadvantaged people to harvest the “surplus value” of their labour by a class of people who's ancestors had their material wealth bestowed to them is gentrified capitalism. In the case of the US, tory landowners from Britain sold their possessions to pay for passage to the new world along with an indentured workforce who built plantations which in combination with slavery guaranteed a income that allowed them to meet the cost of living, education and exchange this wealth for different forms of guaranteed income like government bonds, contracts or rental properties which increases their income exponentially causing today's various economic deficiencies and fallacies.

I work 8-10 hours a day, I had just taken time off for lunch and my boss knew that, and called me in for a task I didn't take lunch hour that day. It wasn't an urgent task, it could've been done by anyone, many people were available at that time.

I graduated from college five years ago with a music degree, and I have been chronically underemployed ever since. That's not to say I haven't been busy in that time, quite the contrary actually. On top of internships and other short-term jobs, I've gone to career counseling, I've stayed active in the communities I've been in, I've been making a lot of music (writing, singing, and performing, etc.), and I've done my best to make as many connections as I possibly can, and I legitimately think I've done a good job of all of that up to this point. After managing to live alone for two years, I had to move back in with my parents a while back,…

This is going to be extremely vague so nothing can get back to me sharing this information. I work for a family in the Midwest and one of the parents works for the biggest car company in the area. They were telling me that people around their level could expect to get about 54% of their projected bonus but the people in the levels above them would get about 130% of their projected bonus. Now I'm no math genius but something about that doesn't seem right.

And my manager texted me every single day—not with the intent to ask to see how I was, but to see when I could come back in. Sigh.
