Antiwork

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.

Why companies need 4-5 interview rounds for regular jobs? This is total bs and big red flag. Preparing for each round is time-consuming and exhausting. Applicants who make it to the final round and fail should be paid compensation for using a lot of time preparing for nothing. I mean wtf is this? Companies have no respect for our time.

The phrase is corporate propaganda designed to poison the masses against the word socialism. Money being taken from workers and given to the capitalist class is just regular capitalism. There is no socialism or communism involved in this involuntary transfer.

So I was looking at yet another impactful youtube video from job interview experts. This one struck me differently. He explained how great a one line elevator pitch style of who you are. Goes something like this: I am a __________________ who helps _______________________ so they are able to ______________________. Me personally, was a network engineer for 10+ years but left due to lack of advancement and stagnate tools to work with. What would be your one liner?

Many may disagree, but I think finances are a major barrier to gainful employment at jobs that require business professional/casual attire. Sure, you could shop at thrift store, but even then, many people don't have enough money to do that. Ok I get it, don't take a job that requires a certain type of attire, but if it's a decent opportunity, and the cost of a new wardrobe is a legitimate hindrance, then what? These are the types of things the “pull yourself up by the bootstrap” crowd overlooks. Has anyone gone through this this? How did you handle it? Thanks for listening.
