Antiwork

Based on this sub’s descriptions it looks like you guys are advocating for a “work free” life, but do you have any theories or ideas about how a society could actually integrate this and still flourish?

I just feel stuck. I seem to only be getting jobs that pay 15 dollars an hour. Even though I worked for 9 years and have an Associate degree in Business. I feel at the very least I should be making over 20÷. Yet I spent over a year trying to get a job that payed over that amount no dice. It's freaking nuts how picky places are. On top of all this with inflation and the housing market that 20 an hour doesn't feel enough. I'm beyond tired and feel like giving up.

hello, i have been working at my job for about 8 months now. this is my first full-time job out of undergrad and i’m working as a legal assistant while i work towards applying to law school. when i started my position, i was hired to replace a previous assistant who had been working there for nearly 35 years and was incredibly close to the attorneys i now currently assist. everyone in the office praised her for being best of the best and so i knew i had big shoes to fill. she left pretty suddenly as her mom was ill and so i never had the opportunity to learn the ropes from her. my supervisor who hired me did not train me at all and has even made comments in the past that the training for assistants at this firm is awful. also, i happen to assist the most…

Oh my fucking god guys I am fucking fuming. So the other day at work my boss told us that he recently discovered the video game Among Us, and ever since, his behaviour has become rather concerning. He now refers to me and my coworkers as 'crewmates'. Last Wednesday, when he noticed my teenage colleague slacking off at his workstation, he yelled at him saying he was “faking his tasks” and is “acting sus”. I confronted my boss telling him that his behaviour lately has been egregious and immature, and he proceeded to call me an idiot and yelled “kicked!” The next day I caught him dancing around in his office blasting “among drip” from his desktop at full volume. I entered his office to kindly ask him to turn off the music since it was distracting to me and my coworkers. He looked at me angrily, telling me he…

a few days ago, our manager had meeting with our team, she kept complain how unprofessional we are. Mostly about we did't handle the requirenents right, we could and should extra charge the client, we should think for the company more and work harder etc. I don't know others' salary in our team, but mine sucks. I talked about my salary with her, she directly said she couldn't and wouldn't give me a pay rise, implied me not doing enough. So I do my part minimally as I could since then. And do as she wants, it eventually will take my private time working on the project, which I am strongly against. Now I keep thinking if I handle my work wrong. It makes feel bad. Not for the consequences I won't accept, but the way I protest.
