Antiwork

Why they hate you bucking the system with your economic inactivity.

So I found this little gem in a Government publication (UK) outlining the benefits of getting people to re-engage with work. I quote: Social-psychological analyses21 of employment have found that work achieves these outcomes by imposing five key disciplines on the individual: • participation in a collective purpose of effort; • the imposition of a time structure; • assignment of status and identity; • the enlargement of social experience beyond family life; and • required regular activity. ————————————————————————————————————- *Notice the use of the words Impose, Imposition, required, and the best – wait for it; ‘Assignment of status and identity’! Nice try, but they’re deluded if they think their low pay and coercive work practices are for anything other than survival pay. Maybe next year, just keep raising the wages for those that don’t have options.
