If “free” stuff disincentivizes…

If some can claim that free things (food, housing, healthcare, money) will disincentivize people from participation in an economy wouldn’t the same hold true for wealth? Wealth, at a certain level is self-accumulating. Ownership is not a job. Then wouldn’t we, by their own logic, be obligated to to prevent greed-fulfilled sloth as both unethical and dangerous to the broader institutions of economy and society?* *Things you think about on break at 4am while reading r/antiwork

My resignation today effective immediately is gonna cause my boss 100s of 1000s of EUR in losses

Feelsgoodman, haven't felt this good in a looong time But but muh SLAs… I never saw a fair share of those thousands of EUR they earn / SLA Btw I just took a pic of my manager's 150,000 USD Range Rover, brand new and chromated This guy really did have the balls to look deep in my eyes and tell me with a poker face that he couldn't raise my wage to 900 USD for 20 hours a week so 80 hours / month (part time, 80 hours / month for 900 USD) lmfao Such a huge weight off my chest. Now I am looking for a much better job who will pay me what I'm worth Edit: exactly, monthly So 4 x 20 hours = 80 hours / month

I am severely unhappy..

I joined this apprenticeship 9 months ago and I just feel so depressed here everyday tbh. I cant focus at all just staring at the screen counting down the hours (work in IT). I have an asshole colleague who just criticised any mistake I made including calling mr a fucking idiot in my second week because I didnt understand something that was said. I am trying to hold on for dear life to finish my apprenticeship and get out but the earliest I could leave is likely another 8 to 9 months. I just feel super depressed here that I just cannot function. Part of me wants to go uni to have a career change to study my passion which is psychology or do a part time counselling course but both are expensive and job prospects are worser than staying in IT. Im not sure if I am unhappy in…

Mandatory work?

My boss texted me the night before asking if i could work till 11 am the next day. I work night shift so my normal hours are 11p-7a. I did not text her back as I saw it too late and my coworkers and I get texts like that almost everyday. I come in that night and she put me down to work till 11, even though I never agreed nor responded. Some of my coworkers have told me they cannot do that, and some are saying they can. I do not mind working a 12 but we’re already extremely short staffed and on top of that we have people out with Covid. So I know this won’t be the last time. I also know they made another girl work a 16 the other day… so my question is, can they do this?

The government loves healthcare heroes, showing respect with a 4% reimbursement cut in the face of inflation. A lot of rehab therapists are about to lose their jobs, and healthcare will become more inaccessible for the rest.
