Antiwork

I work part time at my local cafe, single mum to 3 kids. My boss can be a bit of an ass sometimes, and refuses to accept when he makes a mistake. So usually I cop the blame and results in me being kicked off the till, and feeling guilty for the rest of the day. I really really like my job here, it's a good mental break from being a parent and works for me with young kiddos. But I don't want it to rule my life and make me feel miserable. How do I move past this feeling? My town is small and jobs are scarce so not alot else going if I decide to quit.

I’ve been in my job 7 months and dealing with a terrible micromanager who wants me to check work emails on the weekend, stalks my Teams status and respond to emails as quickly as they’re sent out. If they’re cc’d on an emails, they respond before I can. This person is a dinosaur, meaning they’ve been at the company for 30 years and people chalk the behavior up to ‘that’s just them’ which doesn’t make it ok. I had a candid conversation and offered up feedback on work expectations and taking care of self first and I led with, to be successful in my role, this is what I need….As expected, they were defensive and I took they will not change. I want to stay for at least a year to say I at least gave it a shot (and get my bonus) and here for suggestions on the best…

Just stumbled across this group by mistake. Quick suggestion: the admins might consider renaming to “lazy bastards” Just a thought. 🤔

I work a job that requires a ton of social energy every single day. I suppose I would consider myself an introvert, I enjoy the social interaction to an extent but desperately need to recharge alone. For this reason I truly dread when my friends ask to make weekend plans because I want those two days to myself so bad so that I can feel recharged… otherwise it just feels like a hamster wheel that I can’t get off and I’m exhausted. I don’t want to sacrifice all of my relationships for my job but it’s either that or my own mental health. Does anyone else feel like you spend all of your social energy at work and have none left for where you really want to spend it? How do you find a balance?

I have to announce it somewhere and don't want this getting back to me for mental health reasons. 15 years service I've given the company with varying career success but you can only take advantage out of someone for so long before you snap, and snapped I have. After much soul searching and time off with stress I can't cope working at the same company any longer so I quit. The real sting to it all is how they say “sorry to see you go” & “your such a valued employee, what can we do to make you stay?” Too little too late my friend I'm out, peace out…

Hello everyone, I just joined a few minutes ago and I heard about antiwork only a few months ago. I heard how the antiwork movement made it to mainstream and it failed. I know we can make this happen because I strongly believe working is honestly unnecessary…it’s like modern day slavery. They’ll instantly replace us when we die. Why do we have to pay to survive and pay for water? But I digress. What I am here for and the reason I am making this post is to ask When will we all STOP working and WALK OUT of work at the same time EVERYWHERE to make this point known? When will this really begin? We need a time, date, and how it will be done to show that we are actually serious about this way of surviving and not living. Stopping everything we’re doing in the middle of work…
