This sub changed my life

Following this page convinced me to leave a field where I was incredibly underpaid, then quit another ill-fitting job almost immediately without giving notice. I went into negotiations for a new job feeling motivated by anti capitalism to argue my worth and managed to increase my salary by almost 40% from my original position – 18% above initial offer. A few weeks in, I can say this new role is a much better fit and I feel respected and valued for my contribution. For the first time in my adult life, I simultaneously like what I’m doing and feel some sense of work-life balance. It’s not the antiwork dream yet, but it’s way better.
