Antiwork

I have anxiety and my boss calls me without warning sometimes and it really triggers my anxiety. I don't know how to tell them. We are work from home setup. I wish they can just message me if they have something to say sometimes because on call of course I have to write down what they say rather than if I see the message.

I have worked “unskilled labor” jobs all of my life. I am 39. I am getting so fed up with the people that look down on the people that want living wages for “unskilled labor”. Let me tell you a secret: I can't afford to get “skills”. Sure, I could take out loans and go into massive debt and live a stress-riddled existence as a full-time college student and full-time worker just to make ends meet in the hope of a better future. But why should I? “I worked hard and studied hard and went through shit so you can too.” This is ridiculous. You want me to suffer because you did? For one thing, we live in a much different society now. Every day, the dragons make life more and more difficult for the working poor. (I call rich folks dragons because, much like the fantastical beasts, they amass…
