Antiwork

Have there ever been any successful people (in any way, but particularly financially) who are anti-work? I have yet to see anybody with any real power be anti-work.

After working from home for 2 years, my employer (big tech) is making me return to the office while the majority of my team is remote. I'll pretty much be commuting to an empty cubicle. They're saying it has to be either medical or religious for them to make the accommodation at this point. I'm pretty sure that if I lived about 30 minutes further from the office, they wouldn't be making me come in. I know the rest of my team doesn't have 'medical' or 'religious' exemptions. Employees had the opportunity to go through our return to office accommodations process and our medical accommodations process at the beginning of the return to office process. We were consistent in the way we analyzed all requests and made determinations on remote status changes based on the criteria set by the executive team at the time. Our current process is that we…

So, I am in my early twenties and I have a teaching job as a aid in a middle school. I’m in my last year of college and I work in my college town- originally I’m from a small town in out of state.

My boss was always good to me, offering financial help when needed, flexibility. Good relationship. Close friends really. Then I was diagnosed with ADHD and before we even have a conversation about that, he tells me my “obsession” with this ADHD is being disruptive. It turned into verbal abuse, shouting, screaming and threats within… 30 seconds? I didn't get a word in until about 15 minutes in, after I had sobbed and begged. Terms used include (butt not limited to) :- “It's not cancer” “Up until a few weeks ago, you were fine and now you're like this?” “SIT DOWN, NO! SIT DOWN NOW! DON'T YOU DARE! NO, DON'T YOU DARE WALK AWAY” – This after denying every explanation and bit of information I could think of about ADHD to try and reframe his shouting. “This self-diagnosed, or whatever it is you got, thing of yours” – This being the…
