Antiwork

Let's recap on a tiny slice of what tech companies and social media websites such as Twitter have done to humanity just within the last decade: hoard wealth from all over the globe, rarely if ever contribute a cent back to local communities hoard wealth from our physical realm into the digital realm, even as our physical world crumbles around us and homelessness explodes everyone is a user whether you want to be or not, everyone is constantly impacted at all times moronic business practice which must require constant creation of new humans to sustain and screeches when people are not pumping out babies scientifically makes us more depressed, more impatient, more angry, more sleep deprived, among a host of other maladies, even if you are not a user creates extinction level environmental degradation all day every day amplifies all forms of inequalities: the “rich” gets “richer” and the “poor”…

Hello this is I think my first time posting in a subreddit. I don’t know if this applies here. About 4 months ago I left my job doing social service type work at a non profit. The experience was somewhat rewarding and I loved my team. They were supportive along with my program manager. As time went on our workload got heavier and we really needed another person.

Karma is sweet.

Titles says it all. But I will go into detail mostly because I need an outlet to vent. I just got hired by a international technology company. I wish I could name&shame but I'm a new member of a small new team in a newly created office. Just a few details and I could expose myself And my coworkers. I am in the US. Obviously. Where else can you get screwed like this? I'm a cis white male with a few years experience in an adjacent field. I am basically a Field service engineer. I have a degree in STEM but most of my coworkers don't . While I am capable and maybe even “over qualified” I still need training, and I am being flown around the country for training and company “team building” events constantly. As are my team mates. It's exhausting but I am truly excited for the…
