Antiwork

Hey guys! I have worked in a firm in India for almost 1 year and have resigned few days ago but when I requested my manager to shorten my notice period (which is of 2 months) for genuine reasons, manager said he can leave me early but as per my offer letter, if I opt for the choice of not serving the full notice period, I need to pay the company that many days of salary which I will not be serving. When I showed my offer letter to my HR and manager stating that there is no mention of notice period buyout, HR said then there is only 1 option, I have to serve for 60 days. Also, my manager who is also my TL assigned me a new story the day I resigned and pressurising me to give my 100%. He is complaining the HR almost everyday and…

I extremely dislike those obscure tests companies make you take to profile you. Fuck those Kolbe and DISC tests which are the ones people ask me for the most. Employers always ask for these stupid things so I just save old ones and give them those. God what a waste of life those are and most the time I think 2 or 3 of these 4 options all work for this stupidly obscure and useless question. On top of that, these things take like an hour to do! Ugh time I will never get back. Short story – in regards to the DISC test, I had an inconclusive result on part of it the first time I took it, then again the second time about 2 weeks later and then AGAIN the third time I took it a year later. Hah it was saying I didn’t feel settled in where…

Hey all, as I'm sure many here can relate to, I'm reaching my breaking point with work. Not my specific job necessarily, but having to work period. It's an aspect of my life that for whatever reason is existentially difficult, like aging, sickness and death. And by work I mean alienated labor for a wage which mostly gets spent on enriching my landlord and corporate shareholders, etc. I am quite happy to labor away on shit that actually means something to me. Now, while theoretically the world could change, I doubt I will ever see it in my lifetime, so I have to somehow psychologically and spiritually reconcile myself to having to do things I don't want to do for most of my life to make other people wealthy. It just is what it is. That being said, I have no idea how to do this. After COVID I was…

This is mostly just a rant/ vent, but feel free to discuss and give advice. Capitalism needs to end. About a year ago i moved to my parents place at the coast where they are retired. There was a load of family drama and tragedy going on and they needed me to come, and i am now paying the mortgage on their house. I needed a job, and wanted something relatively low stress that i could just go, do my work, then go home and not worry about it with everything else going on, so i applied to a few of the many hotels in this tourist town, and got a job as a housekeeper. Even though work sucks, i know i have to do it to live, so i try to keep a positive attitude as best i can. It really wasnt bad to start out. It turns out…
