Antiwork

I recently worked two jobs for an extent of a year. Now I see that I'm not able to play PC games that require focus and continuity like RPGs that I like so much, like if the game asks to figure out something or 'learn' I can't focus and feel discomfort. How to recover from this state? Any book, advice welcome

I am young and still in college. I have a few months until graduation and I genuinely cannot fathom working for the rest of my life. I don't know how my parents did it, I don't know how others do it, but when I think about working 40+ hours a week for the next 40+ years, I literally do not know how I will make it through alive. It just seems unbearable and I've already had my share of shitty jobs. Even more, I don't know how I will AFFORD to live. I have an apartment now that I share with roommates, but even with split expenses it is not cheap. Everything around me is raising in price, but I still have the shittiest pay. I just wanted to rant because living like this this just seems unimaginable.

I’m not sure if this is the right place to ask for help like this, but my boss is currently withholding several of my paychecks. I quit working for him 3 weeks ago for reasons I will go into if people want to know, and told him where to mail my checks and he hasn’t. He owes me over $2000 and I’m not sure what to do.

I'm so sick of working. My wife and I put our hearts and bodies into these companies to be good employees and still struggle to make ends meet. My wife and I are both transgender and publicly came out in 2021. My wife was friends with everyone at her job, and was in particular very close to management. After she came out, they made her life a living hell. My wife would come home suicidal because of the mistreatment from her managers and the amount of physical work they would put on her. They were all small things that were difficult to bring up because they're easily denied, but if you're any kind of minority I'm sure you can understand. They did not treat her like a human being anymore. And they fired her a few days before a two week paid vacation she had worked there for YEARS to…

I pride myself in being a hard worker and they get their money’s worth out of me but lately I’ve been feeling deflated due to the fact that I get no thanks for it. There’s people that do way less than me or do things that they are expected to do which they get praised for. I’m starting to wonder what’s the point in working myself to the bone? I get made to feel not a team player if I don’t go above and beyond (like working way more hours than I’m already doing)

I get that exit tickets have been a trend in education for a few years now. I also understand wanting feedback after giving a presentation. But requiring adults to fill out exit tickets in order to receive credit for attendance just seems wrong, especially when it isn’t even anonymous. No, I am NOT going to write down a couple of “takeaways” (Another buzzword I’ve come to hate.) and a reflection of how I can use those takeaways in future practice while on my work journey along with questions I can ask myself, or whatever nonsense they manage to come up with on those questionnaires. Can we stop this idiocy, please?
