Antiwork

I am exhausted. I work at a public healthcare service and we are taking part in the healthcare system handling the refugees in my country. With Russia invading Ukraine it has been a mess lately. Of course we are not enough employees and the workload gets bigger everyday. HR doesn't want to employ more people, we are too tired to do a pefect job and when mistakes happen, it can directly impact the medical path of a person. Most of the time it doesn't and we manage the situation without issues. But every single mistakes that happens, we will get a passive agressive email from manager, probably written in his big, pretty office while we work everyday in bad conditions, still trying to see every patient as a person instead of a file number. We work our asses off because we love the job and we want the people arriving…

So I’m trying to go back to work so my kids, partner and I can move out of a toxic living situation. All of the job offers I’m getting are either $14-15/hour or absurd hours, almost every single one requires weekends. I got offered a position at a very popular Arizona gas station chain and come to find out, these are their requirements: -No visible tattoos (I have a flower showing on my arm and “This Too Shall Pass” on my forearm) (even Costco changed this policy, I mean what year is it???) -No unnatural hair colors and no facial hair or long hair for men (?????) -No scheduled breaks (no chairs in the building and no back room to take a break, let alone pump for a pumping mom like myself) -Little to no down time -Starts at $14.14/hr and goes up once training is completed and goes up…

I don’t know if this post is appropriate or not, but I’m out of options it feels like. I (almost 26m) have severe ADHD, and am on the Autism spectrum, and have a slew of other mental illnesses/disabilities that I deal with. In the past 5-6 years, I found purpose working in customer service facing jobs because I enjoy(ed) helping other people. Covid and its effects on the general public, have turned me into a nervous wreck half the time, and where I used to be quite Extroverted, Im becoming extremely introverted and anxious, and because of this, I havent been able to hold down a decent job that i can pay my rent with. I dont drive and it’s getting cold where im from, and we’re less a week away from thanksgiving, and my partner and I of 4 years just broke up on sunday, and i cant pay…

Even if you have a decent job and a boss that isn’t a bitch, a tool, or an asshole; how and when do you give yourself a second to appreciate when you know what every single person on planet earth is capable of when they are in a position of power? Just some random thoughts for the sub…

Sent my resume to an employer on indeed, set up a time to talk. 20 mins go by, wrapping up and it sounds like I have a good shot. She then ends with “send an application on our website, and we'll see if we can set up an interview.” So the entire indeed process, and those extra questions you put on, were pointless and I've wasted my time. I can't even turn the job down on principle because of my situation. I'm not applying for positions that even usually have multiple interviews, I'm applying for no college jobs and they're doing this shit. For what purpose?

I heard on Democracy Now that the population of Qatar is like 250 000 people, and that 95% of the workforce, 2 million people, are migrant workers who have to take out loans in Qatar in order to work there… without any labour protections… 8 soccer stadiums, hotels etc… thousands of workers have died.

My CEO made 108 million dollars last year and our holiday incentive is work overtime for one week and earn $65.

If you think your mood is some biological disease than you won’t be focused on your shitty job, standard of living, poor diet, your gov't, media lies, consumerism, higher costs, deteriorating relationships or other real problem.Take this pill like a good citizen & stay quiet— Dr. Roger McFillin (@DrMcFillin) November 22, 2022
