Antiwork

I work in a high school as an aid to students with disabilities and exceptionalities. Today was a midterm day so when the kiddos I was proctoring left, I went to go help out the regular aids that watch the halls and the cafeteria. Two aids, women in their late 70s, stated they skipped their lunch to help monitor the students. I suggested that they ask our boss if they could leave early by the amount of time they had for lunch or just ask to be paid for their lunch. Their response was to ask “where I got the nerve” to assume workers deserve compensation, and that “all you millennials will run the world to shit with all your entitlement!

About how everything that causes “restructuring” and layoffs generally comes down to leaders that are only there to manage upwards. It’s all about telling the group CEO/Board that the crops are growing great, meanwhile no one has planted any seeds… The entirety of corporate thinking is all optics for the shareholders… which rather than the general idea that the shareholders are a large group of scattered grandpas and grandmas in Tulsa Oklahoma… they’re actually a very small set of investment groups and individuals which hold large chunks of stock. The result is an entire organization more concerned about the fickle happiness of three shareholders…
