Antiwork

Someone made a post about employers they definitely WOULDN’T work for, so I thought we should shine some light on “good” (or good enough) employers that you should work for! For the sake of the general sub, let’s try to keep the companies to mid to large size. A mom and pop store in your tiny hometown won’t really help someone on the sub looking for a good business to work for.

Yeah I work fast food and I already don’t make a lot, but guys definitely negotiate, and by negotiating I mean threatening to quit!

I was just thinking, so much of grocery store staff, fast food staff, waitstaff, and so many other service jobs are majority teenagers and young people. I am a young people, and as a young people, it’s kindof insane that WE are the people that keep a lot of really essential (or at LEAST essential to consumerist culture) from completely crumpling. A whole ass country that would crumble without the labor of people 20 and under. I was pushing carts today, and was just thinking about how I and a single other person are literally carrying the entire store. Either us, or a couple cashiers or stock dorks or whoever leave, and boom the store literally cannot run. I foresee a chaotic good moment coming from this some time lol

For those who don't know, FIRE means financial independence retire early, it's all about working as much as possible while you're young so you can retire early and be financially free. Ever since I discovered it 5 months ago I've been saving like crazy with the goal of retiring in 15 – 20 years assuming the stock market plays ball. I kinda feel like it's taking over my life in a way because all I can think about is retiring, every month completed is another month closer to retiring. Anyway what's everyone's opinions on FIRE? I can't fucking wait to retire that's all I know.
