Antiwork

My mother owns a small cleaning business and cannot seem to find good employees. I know that is something people just say now without merit, but I consider myself very sympathetic to the sentiments of this subreddit and I'm still baffled. She's been running this herself for 25 years and has been trying to hire employees for the first time since she's getting older and works 7 days a week. She offers roughly $20-$50 an hour, or $100 per job. I've personally worked this same account for her while I was in college and never has it taken me more than 2.5 hours which comes out to $40 an hour. The job is to clean doctor's and dentist offices for the next day and you can go in anytime after closing, just so long as it's done by opening. I used to clean the offices at midnight sometimes if I…

In the UK we have a supermarket beginning with a T. They also do petrol stations/gas stations. A lady went to get fuel for her car and went inside she couldn't afford to pay her gas. Standard operating procedure is the customer fills out a form with there details and pays with X amount of days otherwise it's passed onto the police. Well two retails workers both old talking 50-60's Start going off saying “She has a 72 plate car , so can clearly afford fuel , it's unbelievable” “She's using us as a credit facility because she “can't afford” “We should just call the police “. Honestly I couldn't believe it because it has no ramifications on the workers or any kind of stats. If the customer doesn't pay up then they'll hear from police eventually. But you'd think from the attitude of the workers the money was coming…

I know there's a lot of defense on this sub of “I don't want to not work, I just want better working conditions”, and more power to those of you that push for this. Me? I do just want to stop working. I don't want a job. I dont want to work for anyone. I don't want to have to sacrifice my time and energy for years and years on end for something that doesn't benefit me beyond paying my bills. (I also fully recognize that this isn't realistic, I'm just venting) If I didn't have to work and had a ton of money, I'd do a lot of volunteering, I'd travel and see the beauty of the world we live in, I'd engage in the hobbies of mine that I haven't touched in ages, I'd start a family, I'd run an animal sanctuary, and so, so much more. As…

Hey guys. So, I work hard. I have a great paying job for my area. It’s not six figures, but it’s more than half of that. I am responsible with my money. But, my savings is draining. I am scared, honestly. My dad was killed in something much like the Murdaugh documentary. His wife was the daughter of a judge who was rich and and she killed him to cover financial crimes. This sounds nuts, but it’s true. I was left paying for lawyers and funeral and all of that at age 30. Why am I paying for a lawyer? Much like the murdaugh case, small town, she bailed out the next day and hasn’t been brought to any kind of justice. She even admitted she did it to the police. Then, I got a new vehicle. Nothing crazy. Payment is $500 with insurance. Then, a hospital bill came in…
