Antiwork

When I first joined this sub I joined because of curiosity but I also did so with a smug attitude in a pursue for a quick laugh out of it. “Anti work… What the fuck is that even supposed to mean? How is that even supposed to function?” I would scuff to myself. I no longer have such an attitude and quite honestly I can only thank you all for providing me with your knowledge and opinions to fix it. It's been a great journey since the start and It didn't take me a lot of time to realize there are a lot of sensible posts here and opinions just wanting better working conditions or better lives in general. Reaching my 20s i realized the world isn't as easy or as kind as uncontrolled capitalism makes it sound and looking at my parents I can only feel rage knowing what…

Remember, we can make a difference, we can change things. Don't let the world beat you down into apathy. Stay strong, stay motivated. Help each other and stand together. No rights or freedoms were ever gained by chance or accident. Remember, there is no end point. There is no utopia. We will never truly win. The journey is all we have. The destination is a mirage and never existed. This fight will go on, probably forever. We are fighting for Hope, “the greatest of all treasures”

Today I walked in to my bosses boss' office. I got told they had a meeting about me, and that I'm doing a great job. I work hard, prove to be something the company can put money into in the future. I was pretty happy about that. I try to show that I am an asset that can only benefit places I work, and in return I get better benefits. Both of my bosses are new to being leadership around these parts. Anyways. I was told after the meeting they didn't really know my role, and that I need to code myself differently (codes say what you are doing at what times on their screen). I had let them know that the previous head boss said to code myself the same way all day, every day. The code they want me on for about half my day will lower my…

And now I am depressed and constantly live in fear that I will be terminated. I work in Safety for a “ever changing direction” company. I am the only person left from a massive layoff. I oversee safety for 5500 employees and contractors. I was written up because I didn’t answer my phone twice and didn’t call back when they did not leave a message. I also did not follow up with an employee that hurt their thumb. Not broken, not an abrasion…it just hurt. And I didn’t understand fully what an assignment was. I work 12 hours a day and I’m on call 24/7 no exceptions. I have a temp help, but this guy is useless and rather talk about hunting than the work at hand. I do his work for him. His excuse is that “he’s not used to the computer, I like using paper.” I have tried…

This happened years ago. But my experience as being a whistle blower may still be relevant. CEO and his key GM pushed a strategy and investment programme through the Board that substantially disadvantaged the parent company, but somehow failed to point this out to the parent company. I met with the Director of Strategy in the parent company and briefed them as to what was going on. About 3 days later the entire company (except me) was sent an email from the “key” GM telling them not to talk to me as information was being leaked outside the company by me. I found out because a colleague managed to accidentally print a copy of the email and leave it on my desk. Once the immediate shock died away I booked in with a meeting with a employment lawyer. Later that day we met and he was as eager a a…

Technically my backup is the gi bill housing checks I get plus an on call job that I still get texts from. I just can’t do this 6 days a week bs anymore and seeing all these old people defeated by life is kinda depressing. I have also found that I’m not one of those people that have jobs they like lol, I’ve hated that every job I’ve had since I left the army. Imma ghost them next week, I’ll pull up get my check and it’s deuces
