Antiwork

I have had 7 jobs this year and I have been fired from four of them. One for my mental state, one for lack of funds to pay me accordingly, one that was actually my fault because I damaged too much product, one where I was finally happy and was fired yesterday because of something out of my control. I am mentally at the end of my rope. My family knows I am not well mentally. My fiancée knows it. They are the only reason keeping me alive. I am not antiwork, I want to work. But for some reason I am unemployable. I have very little else I want to keep going for. I just needed to rant for a little bit to people who also understand my situation. I’m okay.

So this post is a bit different, most on here are employees complaining about their bosses, I own a company I solely operate and my definition of anti work is anti customer. I see a lot of posts complaining about bosses hitting them up on days off, telling them to come in now or they are fired, etc. This story popped into mind, I was in the hospital, literally the day my newborn daughter was coming into the world and my customer who is very well aware of this says she needs me to come install her new fence because her dog is escaping her yard. No work had been started, the same fence that was installed when they moved into the house was still up. Lady, not my freaking problem right now. I look back now and can’t help but laugh. The toughest part of owning a small business…

Not my observation, I'm just repeating it. But this guy here, is the epitome of Capitalism. Ultra-rich will sell you all his relations, for the express purpose of consuming them, to become richer. Don't be Mr. Peanut. https://preview.redd.it/740doj5ud26a1.jpg?width=442&format=pjpg&auto=webp&v=enabled&s=283d4b706a833479dede7c4cad783b5c19068a77

I’ve worked at GM for about a month or so and they’ve had us working mandatory 10 hour days 6 days a week. It’s absolutely draining and destroying me mentally. I have no time for anything and all I do is work,sleep,work,sleep,work,sleep. I have a bit of money saved up and ive been researching on how to convert my vehicle into one that I can “live” in and camp out with. Am I making a bad decision? I just can’t do this anymore. Everyone around me is gonna look down on me if I do this too sadly but I gotta focus on myself for once.

UK. My boss has been cutting my hours really badly recently and I got the flu so I had to take 2 days off (I work in food) and they have now reduced mine, and only my, hours to 0. It's a Christmas period and I need the money, I have rent to pay.. I texted my boss saying “I have no hours over the next 2 weeks…” but I'm going to have to apply for a new job. This is just a real kick in the face while I'm already down. We have a work party on Friday and I'm going to go because they're paying for the food and I haven't eaten properly in days, but I'll mention that I “can't afford to stay out because my hours have been cut”
