Antiwork

I’ve looked through this sub as an outsider and it seems like you guys either just want to not work. The question I usually ask people who complain about communism and America is “what’s a better system?” Capitalism has created so many things. We wouldn’t have Amazon, we wouldn’t have Disney, you wouldn’t be typing on your phone right now. The problem with communism is not only that it’s a nonfunctional system but it ends creativity and invention because it’s impossible to find enough money as an individual to do something creative such as writinh a book or start a company. Just think about how comvenient chain stores and Amazon are and how convenient the fuckjng internet is. None of this happens in communism. All that happens is we work and work and work for the benefit of nobody until you get your 2 kilometer thick slice of bread and…

Like it says, a customer came in, and refused to pay for the small service he requested. The company owners not only berated me about my performance lately, but told me I stole from the company(by giving the service), and forced me to pay an even larger amount to them. Does anyone have some recommendations on legal action? I feel utterly humiliated and would like to do what I can to stand up for myself.

My job that ive been stuck at for 5 years now, in a nutshell: Spend 10 to 12 hours per day outside under the scorching heat, or in the freezing cold. The whole day im forced to dig holes, lift heavy blocks, dig trenches, carry heavy rocks or dirt in a wheelbarrow, etc. During the 12 hour work day, we are only allowed to sit down for 20-30 minutes to swallow our lunch and get right back to hard labor before the food even reaches our stomachs. When you get tired and start to slow down a bit, the micromanaging boss starts to yell at you to pick up the pace, or you will be replaced. No long hair allowed, no facial hair, basically no form if self expression allowed. Somehow i had managed to save up around $20k by 2021, and i lost it all in a desperate attempt…

This is a question from a previous job as a hotel housekeeper. It's not my present job anymore, but I was wondering if this was illegal or not, as I was thinking about this even long after quitting. My employer expected all housekeepers to be 15 minutes early each morning and weren't allowed to clock in until 9:00 am. That was because they told us they had a meeting every morning in the laundry room that we would miss otherwise and that the clean sheets were first come, first serve, so if we arrived late, not to complain if we got there and had to wait on sheets to be cleaned. Sometimes, I would wait all day and still not have sheets at the end of each shift because the laundry room was so slow. Regardless, is it wrong for a company to do this? Is this common practice in…

Hello, everyone! The subject of artificial intelligence in art is a real hot-button issue for artists, tech workers, and hobbyists these days, and has proven to be a popular subject of discussion in previous weeks. On January 4, we're going to take a look at how AI art is transforming the art world and what this means for artists. Can AI diffuse itself into the art world in a stable manner, or will this deep dream get hit with a wombo combo mid-journey to the night cafe? Is AI a threat to artists, or is there something deeper afoot? Join us this Wednesday for a deep dive into the subject. ​ Join us later this month for two topics voted on by you, the community! On January 11, we answer the question of how to engage with management, giving you the tools you need to stand on even footing with…
