Antiwork

So simply doing your job and not going above and beyond is somehow “quitting” or in other words giving up? Does this not sound like the ultimate gaslighting of the working population? No, we’re not quitting, we’re doing what we’re paid to do. Nothing more and nothing less. If you want me to go above and beyond, pay me!

I’m not sure if this is the place for this but I am livid and stressed. Back in August my disability and illness progressively got worse to the point I had to use all my PTO. Back in August I told my employer that I needed to apply for disability and he flipped right away and said I was a terrible worker and hung up on me.
