Antiwork

Basically the idea that you are “worth” whatever money or assets you have. As a human you basically have 0 value, your “worth” is only stuff you own. I owe like 10k in CC debt and have 139 bucks in my bank account so my net “worth” is basically negative 10k. smh

I know it's exciting to see a story about a messed up boss or a screenshot of unreasonable text, and one's gut reaction is to comment and support the OP. But people getting duped by these fake af stories and screenshots is now seriously damaging the sub and its message. There's already an image problem after the mod interview, but now its like every day there's a new poorly photoshopped screenshot or a story that sounds like a comedy sketch. This one, a ridiculously cartoonish fake story, was the real kicker: LINK The number of upvotes and earnest pieces of advice makes the sub look like its filled with idiots who believe anything that “furthers the cause”. If a text screenshot looks off, dont let it stay on the sub. If a story seems wildly unbelievable, it probably is. Dont let bait and karma farming ruin the sub even more…

Convince me otherwise…..

I recently started my job in a hospital as an admin, and my lead coworker has been very toxic. She is who I report to since I barely meet my boss. She micromanages and is very condescending. She is almost 60 and has nearly 40 years of experience but has been with this hospital for 2 years. Throughout her 2 years, she made 3 people before me left within 3 months. She is “always” very concerned about me getting COVID. She would always ask me once a week if any of my friends got COVID (When I first started, she would ask what I did over the weekends and I would say that I ate with my friends). She always asks me these snarky questions when I am in a good mood and unprepared. Last month, her mom and husband got covid, so she had to double mask at work.…

My workplace (retail stores chain) has recently launched an app for “updates and information”, such as what are the most popular items, etc – and made everyone download it to their personal phones. I disabled notifications from the app and asked in a local lawyers group if it's legal to have people fired over refusing to install the app, and got replies that there's no law (in my country) to stop workplaces from doing that! Anyways they don't really have a way to know if I deleted it ig, what would you do?

After 15 years struggling in the worst environments at the very bottom of the pecking order in academia, local and state government, and just trying to climb the ladder, I thought I found the job of my dreams (lmao). Director. Nonprofit. A mission aligned with my personal ethics. They very early impress upon new hires the culture of “we are a family here”. After a decade and a half of abuse and torment from micromanagers, of course this tactic hooked me in immediately. But almost a year later, it’s so blatantly obvious how toxic they are. At least at my last jobs, there was no guise of “family”, holier-than-thou “we’re the most diverse and forward-thinking”, and other self-congratulatory BS. The president of the organization just got a fat new title (“president + ceo”) and the senior leadership are so power hungry. It’s all the same, the most ruthless and power-hungry…

I've always disagreed with how employers treat people, how little they get paid and how life is such a struggle for so many bills and how everything is so expensive. The idea of how disconnected the ruling class is from reality pisses me off to no end. I make 17.16 an hour and I used to think I made an ok amount. It's an okay amount for what I do, and the job is so easy. just enough to get by living with my dad. Just help him with rent, right? Couldn't be that hard. . . .well, this month-next month, will be really tight for me. I don't know if I'll be able to make payments. So many things have come up, things I want to do, things I need to do. And all of it costs a lot of money things will be so tight idk if I'll…
