Antiwork

I find it so unfair how I spend so much time on each individual job application and most employers won’t even give me the time of day, it’s sick how actual people who take time and effort out of their own day to apply to jobs get treated like a number. It makes my blood boil when my resume gets rejected immediately after being viewed, and if you’re gonna tell me that it’s something on my end, go fuck yourself because I’m going above and beyond trying to find a job, and these are shit fucking minimum wage jobs that I’m applying for, these employers are so fucking stuck up, it’s almost criminal. I hate the whole concept of working tbh, I feel so bitter about it, but I need and want money. I put on a fake good attitude and everything, I pull it off damn well but in…

Been working for conservative boomer a$$hole types my whole life now and I'm approaching 30. Hard work just means more hard work is what I have learned. My best job experiences have been based on luck and switching companies yields the best chance of a raise. Self promote, baby! I'm mostly venting here just curious if others feel the same way? I get so frustrated hearing how lazy we are when a lot of us do put in the work but there is just no reward for doing more than the bare minimum. The reward is just burnout and more work. Also, the hell is up with boomers just talking about their grandkids all the time in office?

Do you have to report favors or barters to the IRS? Every one? Like if I gave someone a massage and they said they would buy me lunch would that have to be reported to the IRS? If so me and my friends are going to jail because we do that stuff all the time(not exactly that but like a drive for lunch sort of thing). This might seem obvious as a a no because then you would have to report dates to the IRS. But if there was person 1 who provided resources for person 2 to thrive while person 2 wanted to use those resources to help person 1 while also being able to gain benefit from the use of those resources. Like if a millionaire told you to go pick up his lunch and gave you an insignificant amount for him like 1,000 dollars but for you…

I made a post recently about how I got hired at 3 places at the same time. The background check came back faster for the temp job and I’m still waiting on the other 2 better jobs that are permanent roles. The temp rep contacted me Friday and told me I started on Monday (tomorrow). This was far faster than I expected (plus I really don’t want this job) so I lied and said I would be out of town for the holiday. The guy had the audacity to get annoyed and asked why I didn’t tell him sooner. I told him it wasn’t his business to know and I also wasn’t expecting to start so soon so I didn’t feel compelled to say anything. I also quickly mentioned I don’t get PTO or paid holidays through them so telling them mattered even less to me. He quickly got off…

It was so black and white that it felt like everything depended on getting into college, getting the grades for college, graduating college, then finding a job. Anything less would surely result in life failure. I can’t believe most of my childhood anxiety came from that constant fear that as a undiagnosed neurodivergent kid who struggled in school, I would be absolutely doomed if I didn’t do life perfectly according to this plan. I’m reconsidering what industry to work in now and I’m at a loss because I still hold this belief to some extent.
