Antiwork

My wife is 26 weeks pregnant and was just laid off due to downsizing. We both work at the same company and were filling out our parental leave paperwork when she got the notification. The downsizing is widespread so the labor attorney I consulted said it’s unlikely we have a case. The worst part is that there is an office party next Saturday, despite the lay off. I’m trying to gather support for a boycott of it, but everyone is a fucken toadie

Hey so I have this feeling that I am being used at my current job and it’s been unsettling me. I have been with the hotel I work at for about 4 years and everything was fine at first. Then all of the sudden I guess my kindness has been taken for granted. We have 3 shifts and no one else can work all 3 but when some stuff hits the fan it’s let’s schedule me for every shift or having me a do a turnaround shift leading me to have 4 hours of sleep. Idk I’m only 24 so im still learning about the workplace but it’s like I feel so powerless and being the only male and person of color makes me last for everything when it comes to families, babies, others health etc. IM NOT EVEN A MANAGER

I kinda do, sometimes I wonder if it is all there is to it at all. Work so you have money and can afford to live. Having money so you can have access to nice things and can provide for your family. Having money so you can afford to travel and expand your horizons. Money to fend for yourself. Maybe it's just a general sense of envy towards people who are born into wealth and can do whatever they want with their lives, can afford to fuck up as much as they want to, don't have to grow up and have responsibilities, can be artists or whatever, etc. What a fucking dream. Just existing and vibing.

Hello, My company organised an appreciation day since the project is doing well. I am abused like some colleagues by our boss. However he showed another face that day. We also ended clapping for upper management for 2 hours. I felt exploited.
