Antiwork

Whenever i have an interview for my preferred shift (2nd) the interviewer always asks why I prefer 2nd. Why does that matter it's not like I'm gonna ask why you wanna wake up before the sun. It has nothing to do with the job.

I am well educated, work in a respected field, and am good at what I do. I work 6 days a week, 3 jobs. I just saw that one of my jobs has underpaid me by a magnitude of 10 for the second time this year. Even without that, I’m barely making ends meet and counting pennies. I just feel this is fundamentally unfair and makes me want to scream into the void.

My job recently hired one of those guys that come in and make everything more “efficient”. (Think like the movie office space but in a machine shop environment) Well the axe came down Friday during a meeting that they will be cutting hours. Evidently according to them the company isn't doing well. Even though there is a brand new $150,000 car sitting outside in the bosses parking spot. I just feel so betrayed. I've honestly came in every day since I started working there and tried to make quality parts and be a good team player. I used to work weekend hours when we were struggling to make enough parts to put our products together. I really thought that I found a good place to work for once.

First of all, hi. I'm new to this subreddit but I've been lurking for a long time. Almost all of the comments and the values shared here allign with mine. I hope that, finally, I won't be judged for expressing my viewpoint. The truth is, I hate working. I've switched lots of jobs and the longest I lasted is a year or so. And that was a part time job. I'm well educated by most standards (masters degree and all that stuff). I'm really good in my profession. But I'm not passionate about it and from today's viewpoint, I'm not even sure why I have chosen it and not something else instead. The reality of 9-5 full time job is killing me. I have one now and I absolutely despise it. It's not the pay, it's not the boss, nor the coworkers – I think it is me. After a…
