Antiwork

I have an undiagnosed medical condition (my doctor couldn't figure it out and is referring me to specialist) that causes me to get sick randomly. Nausea, throwing up, whole nine yards. My boss is aware, I've told him about it. This week I called off Wednesday and today because I was sick and I was even feeling sick but hadn't thrown up on Thursday so I went to work. I was supposed to close which means they'll have to find someone else to close or god forbid he'll have to close himself. Anyways while on the phone he told me he wants to have a talk with me tomorrow about it and mentioned wanting “a doctor's note or something” which he specifically told me he doesn't care about like a few weeks ago. I know how this conversation is gonna go. He's gonna try and make me feel like shit…

I’ve been in the work force for 4 years or so now and I’m in a finance gig. It’s very Excel heavy. I’m a giant nerd when it comes to learning shortcuts/being efficient when I do things so when I realized I was going to be using Excel a lot, I put quite a bit of time into getting really damn good at it. I was expecting it to help me build whatever I needed easily in Excel. What I wasn’t expecting was how much being good at Excel would allow me to not work as much. Here’s an example of something that happened last week: there is a spreadsheet that basically tracks our inventory for “parts”. This spreadsheet was taking my coworker who was doing it manually several hours every week to complete. It was passed down to me about 3 weeks ago. With what I know about Excel…

I've been working in the same field for almost two years now. I just quit my job today because of toxic workplace and not getting paid enough for the work that I do. A family member told me about this job he that he can put me in that pays $5 dollars more. They don't drug test, but it came across my mind about the idea of companies drug testing for weed should now not be a thing. Thoughts?

Your house is now your office so cleaning it and having a nice environment is a must in order to be productive, it's only fair that we do that during working hours, they're actually saving money on a cleaning person. Same with laundry, consider your clothes your uniform, and you being presentable should be supported and encouraged by your company. If CEOs do write offs when having lunch with clients, you can use the only resource you have (work hours) so you can get some of your life back and not spend your free time getting ready for work the next day. Its not much, but it does feel like a bit of a win.

I’m not interested in accumulating wealth or fancy things. Not interested in having children or “leaving a legacy”. A reliable car would be nice. I’d appreciate a modest home with a washer/dryer. I’d love to visit other cities every now and then. Why do I have to spend my entire life slaving for such a basic boring lifestyle???
