Antiwork

The law in my country is rather nice and I had a year and a half of paid maternity leave (not much money but OK) and I could apply for another year and a half of unpaid leave. I decided to come back to work when my daughter was a year and 8 months old. They didn’t ask me about the schedule, so I assumed it was regular 8-4 working day 5 days a week. Instead they put me for classes which start very late (at 1 p.m.) so I have to stay way later than everybody. They also told me as I have mornings without lessons I can do some extra work (finding…

The corollary to this right-wing talking point is that workers today complaining about their jobs are just spoiled and ungrateful and their complaints should be dismissed. What are some good responses to the criticism that work today is a cake walk compared to previous times and that workers today have nothing to complain about?
