Antiwork

So, a little background. I’m an Army vet who is 80% disabled and just finished my bachelor’s degree last year. I get a decent amount from my disability but it’s still not enough to pay rent and bills in my town. So I recently took a security job. I was infantry so at least it’s something I knew I would be decent at. For the job I had to attend training 2 hours away for a couple days. Which is a drag, but whatever. At least I get paid for that right? Turns out, no. No I didn’t. The travel was out of pocket and the training was unpaid. So during the training I applied for a job more closely related to my degree. (Digital effects and interactive media) Had an interview and now I’m officially a contractor for a Software developer company for more pay before I even start…

By adding a second remote job lol. Now I have two full time remote positions at $50k/yr each. I've been with the first company for 3years and have been remote for the past 2years. After cleaning up a lot of the old issues that I inherited when I came onboard, the workload has decreased significantly. I was doing about 2hrs of work per day out of the 8hr shift and the rest of the time I lay on a bed next to my computer and watch tv while I periodically click some random buttons with a wireless mouse to keep my computer active. I just got through training with a second job and the workload right now seems to be about 4hrs per day. I clock in and out of both jobs at the same time so all in all I’m making $100k/yr and work for about 6hrs per day.…

The combination of a short work day, amazing pay, AND great benefits has done more for my mental health than any pizza party ever will. Thanks Teamsters!

I'm in my late 20s and during a typical week I probably work ~60 hours in my corporate job – it's a high-pressure environment but I enjoy what I do and take pride in various promotions and work achievements that I have been able to accomplish over time. My boyfriend is in his early 30s and has a JD. He was initially working as a lawyer before moving to a part-time schedule due to a serious surgery which required several months of recovery. Due to his pride, he never went on disability and supported himself mainly through income from sports betting (I know, that's a whole separate discussion…) and from his parents. It's been now a little over the year since the surgery and he refuses to return to full-time employment. I expressed to him (multiple times) that I want to start a family soon, that I want to become…
