Antiwork

What makes you think the US won’t order a bank freeze against its own citizens?

Myself, like many here, generally have held positive views about the right to work from home, and how it allows us to better live our lives as we see fit. But I've been working from home for a long time now, and I have to say that I've noticed some pretty critical issues with it, from a movement perspective. Sense of community among workers – A lot of discussion goes on here about unionising, organising, building communities. Working from home actively isolates workers from each other, and removes an inherent bond that I feel is built by face-to-face cooperative labor. This is the problem with capitalism as a system: it keeps people docile and self-hating because it isolates them. It keeps people from revolt by keeping them self-interested. Work-from-Home has extended this even further. Visibility of abuse or special treatment – One of the benefits of working in the office,…

Hi quit my job in January and was overpaid in my last pay. How it works here in Australia is that you can’t get welfare (Centrelink) until you have a Employment separation certificate. Well I’ve been chasing that up for the last few weeks and today I got an email saying they won’t give me one until I pay the overpayment amount in full. The problem is I don’t have the money it was $900. I’m wondering if anyone here knows if this is legal? (In Australia) Thanks in advance

My first and current job is at a regular retail craft store- put simply I hate it. It's overbearing, draining, and the typical overworked-underpaid. They constantly expect/coerce employees to work themselves mad but are quick to catch an attitude when you need a day off or help. I went from full time + a shit ton of overtime, to now part-time and seriously considering putting in my two weeks… and I've actually been thinking about it for a while now. Im 18 and the adult life is very much new to me. The only thing really holding me back is what is the BEST way to move on with my work life. I fear if I quit this job my life will just spiral downward. Most people secure a new job before they leave one but finding one can take MONTHS and I really can't see myself staying where I'm…

Hey everyone, I’m currently in school learning to be in HR management. I’m relatively new to antiwork and I’m seeing mainly negative stories about HR and it got me wondering if pursuing this career is a good choice. Has anyone had any good, or positive interactions with HR? Please just be honest and let me know what you think. Thanks!

I have been with the same company for 16 years, started when we were small and we have grown considerably. I handle projects and had a partner in that until October when she left so I am now doing them all myself. Recently I have been having issues with our Sales People not doing the jobs correctly. When they sell something they have to fill out a form telling me what they sold and how it needs to be deployed. They are making mistakes, saying something shouldn’t happen that should or something should happen that shouldn’t. Causing me to basically deploy the product incorrectly and then scrambling to fix it. I brought this to the attention of my direct supervisor and he said he would address it but be forewarned that this could very well come back to bite me in the ass because the higher ups might decided that…

Yeah, basically that. Assume the woman can lift over 50 pounds and can be on her feet all day. Edited to add: Any info about why those jobs are great for women would be gratefully appreciated.

Told you! We shouldn't have believed the nonsense of those politicians. They threw Intel into such a dilemma. First, Gina Raimondo told us not to fund China's chip and buy products from Xinjiang, which brought us lots of criticism and financial losses under Chinese punishment. Then the government forced us to boycott the 2022 Winter Olympics, so we're afraid to advertising for the Olympics. Now Intel is faced with pressure from China and the United States with huge financial and reputational loss. We regret to meddle in politics initially.
