Antiwork

I'm not depressed either but all I wanna do is laze around and rot in my room, Im happy that way. People could insult me on being a lazy POS but that's not gonna change how I feel, unfortunately. Thinking about working and its responsabilities, well in a few words, I want to throw myself off a cliff before my free trial of life ends. How do I get over this? I know its enevitable, but I can't just “get over it”.

It's a 3mo contract. In three months (or less), I'll be back out on the street scraping LinkedIn for another job. I have to pay taxes on my unemployment checks. Woohoo, a 3mo reprieve, without a dent in the stress. No, I'm not excited. This is nothing. It's less than nothing. It's taunting people for the amusement of the upper crust. Fuck three months.

Long story short, job sucks I had to get it to pay for bills. I did sign a agreement stating that if I don’t put it a full 2 weeks notice before I quit that I will be paid minimum wage. I saw online that in my state it’s illegal to deduct from hours worked but of course if I sign a agreement then I’m stuck in it. This job is cleaning toliets, wiping tables, restocking paper products. Does this agreement make sense to anyone? I understand they need time to find a replacement but it’s cleaning shit for Christ sake

I applied to a local business in the finance industry. I got a conditional offer and they wanted me to get fingerprinted etc. the steps said, pls do these items: 1.Get Fingerprinted 2.Finish this digital paperwork 3.Potential offer ​ So I finish the digital paperwork (work history, personal info etc) because its quicker to submit than booking and getting fingerprints done. I let the owner know and told her I am getting finger printed that Friday. She says awesome. I get finger printed Friday and today she lets me know my offer was rescinded because my paperwork was 'incomplete'. I call and ask what she means and because I didn't list every gap that the system rejects my paperwork completely and they can't further the hiring process with me. I filled up the entire work history section with my previous work and schooling like it asks. I didn't put my…

I have no idea how many people have had this happen to them, but I didn't go to college for 4 fucking years, just to end at a dead end job that pays me 15,000 a year. I didn't learn how to draw in Elementary School to end up here. I didn't take AP Art and expand on my drawing and animation skills for this BS. I didn't dream of being someone who creates things to end up in a soulless pit. Even an entry level animator, or hell, a paid internship for one, is AT LEAST 28k a year. Still not great, but leagues better than my dishwashing job. The average animator for anything – not just television, but ads and motion graphics on websites, is at least 70k a year. In the state of Iowa, you can afford comfortably on a mortgage for a studio apartment. You still…

On January 2022 I sued my previous employer (a well known international language center) for illegal salary retention. This was a practice that had been going on for almost 2 years, even going farther back than the pandemic. I decided I had had enough, so I followed the resources my country has for such cases. Firstly, we were supposed to go to a conciliation center, where we could verbally reach an agreement with a public servant as a witness. It was supposed to go for 3 sessions, where we could negotiate terms of payment. Needless to say, my then employer only showed up for the first session, and missed the others, never agreeing to anything. It was then possible to properly sue, and take the issue to court. After the proper procedures, it was time to show the “proof” each party had to present. I showed my bank statements for…
