Antiwork

I currently make about 150k. I recently got married to a multimillionaire husband. I used to own a house but sold it since I moved in with him to his mansion. He wants me to work part-time and get paid around 50k to 60k so I can stay home more often. He is his own boss and doesn’t really work much. Anyway, I’m afraid that I won’t be the strong, independent woman I’ve always been. Will I face any consequences in the future? How has your life changed working part-time?

This whole economic system is dependent on a relatively small number of men who want to make as much money as possible. You can’t talk to a human being to get customer service anymore. Companies can’t wait for automated electric trucks to replace truck drivers. Refunds take 3-5 days. Reservation fees. Cancelation fees. No cancelations within 48hrs. Landlords with no intent of returning security deposits. Over priced housing markets. Fucking egg profits. Grocery store profits. Companies suing farmers for growing potatoes. Did you know John Deere doesn’t let farmers repair their own equipment?! Farmers. Can’t. Fix. Their. Own. Machinery. Or. Grow. Their. Own. Food. Someone is going to snap. All I pray is that they snap at the appropriate people.

Hello everyone. I am here to share my experience and rant. Please do comment about your thoughts on this. We have a massive unemployment issue in our country. I am a highly educated person who is unable to find a decent academic job and is just reading at home these days. My colleagues are also more or less in the same place. Employers take advantage of this situation to hire people for extremely low wage and messed up working rules. Currently, i am going through interviews which I have been told from different people that they are already fixed. Yet, i have been suggested to give my luck a chance. May be. In these interviews, sometimes you are outright thrown out by asking you something so out of context that you would be left dumbfounded. Or, they will take this moment to insult your previous work and current ideas. Like,…

I recently discovered that I have ADHD. My boss was the one who joked around and said things like “You can't sit still” or “You need to focus more” or “You hear but you don't listen” and “Maybe you have ADHD.” I did mutiple online tests and went to see a professional who in fact confirmed I have ADHD. I'm not on meds yet. This job paid 3x the average salary but it was hell. They give 1 hour of break, that is 40 mins lunch time and 2x 10 mins smoke breaks. Since I don't smoke, I take my 10 mins breaks to relax my mind off work since you can't exceed the 40 mins for lunch. My boss came to me and said “You don't have to take the 10 mins breaks. If you keep being on prod it will be better for you. See, here we are…

TLDR nobody wants to pay me what I think I'm worth as a bilingual with a master's, now I feel dumb for following my interests this far and afraid I sound entitled So I'm an MA graduate who finished in August and am just now getting around to full-time job hunting. I had been putting off looking for a full-time job because I applied to PhD programs and didn't want to have to start something that I'd quit so soon after (also shit going on at home), if I had gotten in. I didn't get in anywhere, though. And I did my master's in a different country, majoring in linguistics, which doesn't strike people as impressive (and makes some incorrectly assume I'm not authorized to work in the US). But I do speak the language there fluently, and that's something I've worked really hard at since undergrad. My main issue…

Spent 30 minutes in the third interview convinving the owner not to hire me..Asked for $130K, 6 weeks paid holiday, overtime over 40 hours and just got the offer. I should have asked for more.

Hey, atleast I’m getting noticed 🙁
