Antiwork

It's the middle of the day. Productivity has dropped to zero and I just can't keep my eyes open. I was at a computer a moment ago trying to look busy and caught my screen filling up with eee's where I must of nodded of for a few seconds.

I'm gonna book a plane to Europe. Im quitting my job soon. I will enjoy my life without worries for the first time and once I run out of money i will kill myself. I only have 12k so ill last probably a month. Europe is expensive. I have enough money left to pay off my debt and donate some money to my toxic mom. My life is in shambles. Life is awful, meds suck, i hate routines, there's nothing to fight for, we age, we lose and then we die. Life is a curse and all the good things are expensive, you know why? Because of the amount of miserable people like me wanting to have those things. Basic economics. Everything hurts, it truly hurts. i thought I was going to be somebody someday, i had goals and aspirations but im so insecure im so weak im so afraid…

So I had to call out sick on Sunday, then yesterday I had to call out again because my immunocompromised girlfriend was running a fever. Today when I went in, my manager tried to write me up for “breach of call out procedure”. I didnt breach procedure, I followed the exact steps we were supposed to take. Pretty sure he just think for some reason I was faking it all for a couple days off. Tonight I tested positive for covid…wonder if he'll try to write me up for this too?

details are my own, but all the thanks and inspiration go to you all. keep up the good fight!

Today was my last official day with the company I have been working at the last several years. Within the past 6 months there was a bit of mass exodus starting with others in my department leaving. A couple months ago I had a “manager check in meeting” with my manager and discussed the possibility for a raise as more responsibilities were coming my way as more people left. His response to a raise was “we feel you are compensated fairly”, ok so apparently 95% travel, zero support and increased micromanaging and impossible KPI’s mean I deserve to get paid 40% below market average. I told him that was unacceptable and that I would be looking elsewhere. Two weeks ago I submitted my resignation and he thought I was bluffing, I returned all the company assets (phone, laptop, tools, company car) yesterday and today I got the news they are…

So I quit my job at a company that rhymes with Small-mark today. The entire experience there was terrible… They expect you to act as if you're working at Disneyland, for way less than a living wage. Cherry on top was my boss telling me “I didn't hire you knowing you had these medical issues”, even though it's not and wasn't legally required to tell the boss about them at any point

And I feel good about it. That it. That’s the post. I have no idea what I’m doing next…but it’s not that.
