Antiwork

First of all, it’s not a good look for Antiwork. I like being part of a hardworking community that wants fair pay for their skills. Lying on your resume is not fair. There are people who were honest on their resume who didn’t get that job. Encouraging multiple people to lie on their resume isn’t encouraging fair pay at all, it’s just ammunition for employers to assume we’re all lying. Second of all, I don’t know why you’re bragging. YOU succeeded in lying to someone… for now. What happens if you get caught? What happens if you get someone else caught? What happens if “fake it till you make it” doesn’t work and you don’t know how to complete a job? And if this doesn’t apply to you, would you really want to take responsibility for someone else following your “advice” on Reddit and turning in a terrible job or…

Thoughts on national consumption tax replacing income tax? Taxable income is highly leveraged against poor people with no assets. Unfortunately wealthy people have the power to disable this notion. What are your thoughts on purely a sales tax, vs income taxes?

Office yourself – it's all you're really good for. Get in your sad little wallet-burner bucket and drive on bad roads in bumper-to-bumper traffic or get on a weird stinky bus or train with sticky seats for 2 hours to a downtown area overrun with desperate and armed people at their wits' end living in torn tents and shanty trash-tarp and urine-soaked wood shacks surrounded by garbage (broken glass, random filthy car parts, fresh and old vomit chunks, dead birds and car-squashed squirrels, drug needles, and more) all stinking like some kind of human waste and city animal feces chili. Be in an office – it's all you're worth. Park your little rust-nugget in a dirty, overpriced, smelly cracked blacktop lot where car break-ins happen every hour. Or step off the shaky you-now-have-permanent-hearing-loss public transit into a sad and depressed herd of other people just like you, all having to…

I’ve been working at and helping a small company for the past two years. The stipulation of me working there was that I would do everything in my power to create a work environment where I personally would want to work. Over that two years, I’ve replaced a few very toxic people in management, raised the average pay for employees, implemented PTO and parental leave, created a quarterly bonus program based on company profit, and stepped into the role of managing day-to-day operations of the company. My work is far from finished. I know there’s so much more that can be done. I am in a role I’d never imagined for myself, but now that I am in this role and have significant sway in the company decisions, I want to make sure I stay true to my original goal of fighting for the people who work there. The company…

I recently quit my job after working for my employer for 2.5 years. I have 14 years of industry experience, a trade degree in my field and was selling $1.2 million in product with $700k in gross profit and making $21/hr. I found out my counterparts were making 20% more than myself even though I had the highest gross profit percentage in our location, answered more calls than anyone else, received the locations manager award plus handled many other responsibilities that counterparts weren't required to do. When I brought it to my managers attention that I knew I was being compensated unfairly based on my metrics they immediately got confrontational and were upset that we had discussed salaries which is our right to do. In the end after a heated discussion I told my manager I was going to go to HR over this and he said “that's fine but…

I work in supply chain in a corporation during covid times, enough said. We were all told we had to attend a “resilience training” short course today. Tips were: Excercise Structure your day Learn what you can/can't control Find something relaxing Omg! All my problems are fixed! Thank you so much most esteemed employer, I am so grateful to your willingness to really offer some practical and suitable solutions to the cluster fuck that is the current supply chain. Don't worry about dropping unnecessary tasks or contacting me after I said on the call that I haven't had a lunchbreak for 3 weeks! Ill just go for a 15 min walk and structure my day better
