Gore Vidal wrote in the late 90’s about the US moving from a democratic age to an age of chaos, as philosophized by Plato and Vico in their theories about natural societal stages. The midterms postponed that for at least a bit. I have a question: Is r/antiwork disappointed?

What a bargain. After copays, doctor’s visits and current prescription drugs, that’s around $46K PER YEAR.

Employee Misclassification. What next?

I’ve determined (using multiple avenues) that I am misclassified as 1099 at my current place of work. I work remotely in a call center along with about 60 other people. We have directors/supervisors and even team leads over our department. We have 2 shifts to chose from (we have to stick with said chosen shift on a day-to-day basis) and both of those are 8 hour shifts + 1 hour unpaid lunch break at 40hrs per week. We attend mandatory meetings, trainings, refresher trainings and receive copious amounts of coaching. We also have to notify our leads of any time off or if we have to “step away” from our computer. We clock in an out daily. They continuously up our workload as well as our call metrics (we use CRM software so everything is tracked).

Why has there been such a dislike in Elon Musk this past year? Other than him just being rich?

I don't involve myself much into politics, news, etc.. but I always found him to be a form of pioneer in many ways. I'm the extreme type to question authority and wrong doing, and even though I don't keep up with the news or what's happening.. with what I've seen in the past like 5 years or so, I've found Elon Musk to be pretty cool. He enjoys memes, he's trying to make mars habitable, etc. Basically, what am I missing that it feels like most on reddit dislike him but I've still found him cool? I'm totally open minded.. I just don't understand where all the hate came from. Is it mostly because he's very rich and has a lot of power?

Company contacted me…

They got my resume at LinkedIn and want to interview me for like basically any job they have open. Just one problem. They’re a German company that famously was involved in the Holocaust. It’s bothering me and I’m not sure I’m willing to work for them, no matter how much they may have changed in 70 years. Anyone else have a “heck no” moral story of rejecting a job?
