Antiwork

Rule 3 states that posts must be relevant about abolishing work (and the subreddit's description says this subreddit is about wanting to end work) so the rule is consistent with that. So what's the problem? Well popular posts like these: https://www.reddit.com/r/antiwork/comments/x41trh/jay_z_has_got_99_problems_and_they_all_revolve/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 https://www.reddit.com/r/antiwork/comments/x82nrc/what_if/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share are taking aim at how this capitalist system is exploitative and hypocritical to the working class, and they are popular posts but since they are not about abolishing work, they get removed. I get why; if the point of the post is about fixing the issues with capitalism then its not abolishing work; its reforming work. Or in blunter terms putting a band aid on a exploitative system. I don't know, I just think we should allow posts like the one above since it can lead to people to accepting Anti Work ideals and the abolishing of work itself by slowly giving awareness at how fucked up this…

Due to a few things, my mental health has been declining lately. I've been holding out on time off because I don't have much leave left, but the beginning of this week, it all came to a head. I came into work and just fell apart. My boss came over and asked me what the matter was. I told him as best I could through streams of tears that I can't go on anymore. He told me to “go home for the week and really think, really consider if [I] want to keep working here” because this week is important for the company and if I can't handle it, maybe I shouldn't be working here. Thanks boss, that was really helpful. I feel loads better now.

I work at a new factory, a lot of the rules and norms are being formed still. Recently, it came up that the operators can't gave chairs… we work 12 hour days at machines we can't easily leave because they break down or otherwise fuck up constantly. Pay and benefits are really good here but there are still lots of issues. I'm a quality tech and have a chair, office people have chairs, operators who do the most work do not. It's ridiculous. I'm trying to fight it but would like some help to justify the need to my higher ups outside of it being unfair bullshit propagating the lie that we aren't earning our wages unless we're exhausted and hurting at the end of thr day.

I was stuck waiting for th dentist and decided to watch the local news. Big mistake. I was so fucking annoyed with this boomer/capitalist propaganda I heard. Here was the broadcast. The entire segment was blaming workers. It started off blaming people for wanting to work from home and the workers being responsible for “boutique” businesses closing due to high costs/rents. There was a 5 minute discourse on how it's ALSO our fault for “quiet quiting”. So, WFH are being blamed for not going into work, and not working unpaid overtime and only doing their job responsibilities. It's up to the employees to “bootstrap” and help their employers, for free, since they are paying them. As a result, what to companies do? They lay off employees due to “poor performance”. What does the Fed do? Punish us with high interest rates. The entire panel turned into blaming workers for working…

For all of you who hate boomers like you hate racists, there’s something you should know. The statement, “nobody wants to work,” is not to be taken literally. The meaning of this is “nobody wants to better their position in life bad enough to work for it.” The idea that you deserve a better life just because your were born is a called entitlement. If you WANT a better life, then you will have to WANT to work to achieve it. Nothing in life is free and nothing comes easy. Complaining doesn’t create tangible results. It only shows your level of maturity.

It has been brought to my attention by the mice living in my sock drawer that employers now are looking for volunteers. I sat there in disbelief, mouth agape, expired cheeto dust covering my face, wondering what kind of tomfoolery is afoot?! Ladies and gentlemen, TIME is your greatest asset. This is why, when we trade our time, we get MONEY in return. Time is the only asset we as humans have that is of any actual value. We also do not have much of it, so why in the world would you give your time away for free like some unkemp time slut?! There are TWO, count them, 1 2, instances where you give away your time for free: doing mission/charity work indentured servitude unpaid/paid internships for STUDENTS. All other instances better produce some sort of barter or monetary gain. Obviously, employers are going to resort to all manner…
