r/antiwork “change in management” post is not stickied and comments are locked?

It's kind of a bad look when a change in management is announced by the mods and the post is not even stickied (post is here) Apparently a lot of mods of r/antiwork have been purged. The post by the antiwork mods is not stickied and the comments are locked. This is not a good look. A former mod claims the mods voted to remove the top mod. In response the top mod deleted everyone who voted for the top mod to be removed.

Considering 12 months off work

I’ve been lately considering taking a year off working completely. I’ve saved enough to do some travelling here and there, continue paying my rent, and just generally being a little more free. Has anyone here done this before and can provide some insight as to whether it helped/hindered them? 🙂

Just put in my 2 weeks notice

Hello reddit people, I don't usually post on here but I figured I would give the experience I just had a few hours ago at work. I was a night shift stock associate for a big grocery store. And last night was a dark night, meaning that instead of stocking the shelves we were blocking the shelves. Blocking means to pull things forward on the shelf. Well, it's usually 4 of us who are there. Two people (the managers) are doing repack (putting things onto the shelf that once couldn't be put up) and two people are blocking. The other person who blocks with me quit his job two weeks ago. So what's supposed to happen is that the assistant manager would come help me with blocking while the manager does repack. However, I got put to block the entire store by myself for two weeks in a row. I…

Talking Points.

If you make money working 40 hours and still can't afford to live in a Consumer Society forced on you then it's: Wage Slavery. Not worth it. Not a valuable use of your life-time. Imposition on the miracle of being a human being against all odds in this Universe. A poor use of your equitable rights as a citizen of a democratic country. Do we have to burn it all down?

My little store that I ran myself since 2007 got a new landlord in 2019. They demanded full rent when I had to close the shop for months when the British government forced non-essential retail shops to close during the pandemic. With trade still down I had to sadly close the shop.

A worker is a part time slave

The boss says when to show up, when to leave, and what to do in the meantime. He tells you how much work to do and how fast. He is free to carry his control to humiliating extremes, regulating, if he feels like it, the clothes you wear or how often you go to the bathroom. With a few exceptions he can fire you for any reason, or no reason. He has you spied on by snitches and supervisors, he amasses a dossier on every employee. Talking back is called “insubordination,” just as if a worker is a naughty child, and it not only gets you fired, it disqualifies you for unemployment compensation. Without necessarily endorsing it for them either, it is noteworthy that children at home and in school receive much the same treatment, justified in their case by their supposed immaturity. What does this say about their parents…
