Antiwork

Like the rail workers It’s been gaining steam…that they should either quit or show up and do nothing and get fired, for unemployment. Then what? When it runs out Good luck coordinating that with all of them Just saying

So, rail workers wanted stuff and threatened to go on strike. Government signs a piece of paper that doesn't give them stuff. And somehow people are pissed while media say that the government “averted a crisis”? How does this change anything at all? The rail workers are going to strike now, since they didn't get the stuff, right? Can anyone explain how the government saying “we're not going to give you stuff but please don't strike anyway” is supposed to avoid a strike? Isn't the whole point of a strike that the higher-ups don't want a strike??

The railroad workers are only the latest example. What would we do without agricultural workers? Child care? Sanitation workers? Delivery drivers? Construction laborers? Every major city in the country would be paralyzed within a week without tow truck drivers. People who care for the elderly? For Dog’s sake, what would we do without teachers? And now ask yourself, what would we do without Elon Musk? Without Tim Cook? Without Jeff Bezos? Without Bill Gates or Peter Thiel or Warren Buffett? What, precisely, are they adding to the economy to justify their obscene wealth? The fact that Congress can only get its act together in a bipartisan manner to force railroad workers back to work speaks to how important they are. Why doesn’t their compensation reflect that importance? Because the unimportant and trivial people are the ones calling the shots.

Hi everyone I was working as a janitor at this club in Los Angeles called the catch one. I have a BA but worked there cause my mental health is fucked up. Point is I got paid for 30 hours and not 80. I know I can go to the department of labor or something but I’m not too sure where to go. Someone please help. Fuck these assholes

Fucking good. My shit is not more important than the health and wellness of the people who get it to me. I don't care if it takes months to get, do what's best for yourself my railroad friends! Strike!

First of, the context. I'm working as a security in a office/grocery hybrid. It's good for praxis, because I'm easily able to manipulate the CCTV clips and remove employees taking food from dumpsters. Anyway, I was on a 15 hour shift as usual, and that middle aged lady came in. She said she was supposed to be trained by me, and my superior (a guy who works 400 hours a month) said that it's correct. She was asking a lot of questions I didn't know answers for, because it's not in the field of what I'm supposed to know. After about 13 hours together, she pulled her mask off and said she was an inspector, sent here to see the quality of our services. She was not happy with me at all. A few days ago I got a memo that my shifts are now taken by her, so I…
