r/antiwork - Yes, it's exactly what it sounds like.

I'd say I used to be the type to 'laugh' at 'communist' rhetoric but...to echo other posters. Mass Immigration. Shipping jobs overseas. Dan Price proving a CEO can take a paycut..give each worker a major pay raise lifting them out of poverty while still maintaining more than enough assets.

Should Amazon be able to run warehouses that literally have people running/peeing in bottles because productivity has to be so high? No.

I mean just take a wild guess at how much money the CEO of the hospital I worked at makes per year.

I'll divulge my salary details. I'm $90k/yr working in public health, working at the hospital was $130k prorated since I was in the ED temporarily for COVID.

oh their life must be so hard. Every death at the hospital must weight on their conscience.

The fact there's no salary cap or no ratio between jobs. A fucking ER surgeon is pulling less money than some bureaucrat at the same hospital. I bet you the CEO never has to take an on-call pager either. Free market and all that but OF COURSE it's going to end up like this when you let the C-levels run hog wild. If I could make up my own salary I'd be making the same cool 6 mil.

It's even worse in the public sector. A detective working the homicide beat and a fucking HR pen-pusher are on the same pay scale in my state. The guy who designs the bridge I commute over is making less than a 5-year "senior" children's librarian.

Lots of large companies like Walmart and Amazon are effectively daycares for Spics and Niggers during the day.

It’s always best to find a good local company to work for where you aren’t just a number m.

LOL
That's the funniest fucking thing I've read all day.

I don't know how true it is but apparently on Black Friday reddit was removing/altering some antiwork posts. One or two posts routinely reaches the front page daily now, but on Black Friday it was suspiciously empty. Apparently reddit sponsors were throwing a fit.

Shot: They're trying to hire a detective to take over the child abuse and human trafficking department. The requirements are close to a decade in law enforcement with a demonstrated record of completed cases involving child sexual abuse or human trafficking... For a pay grade in the high 60k range.

Chaser: City councilmen recently complained that the quality of policing is too low, and say we need to radically change the police to make them more effective at tackling the rising crime rate. They then fired approximately 10% of their remaining police staff because they didn't want to be part of a medical experiment.

I’m close to 1 year out of university working in Accounting and am making close to 60k Canadian. That’s insane for a detective of 10 years experience

The pay scale for public workers here is beyond fucked because it's based on seniority and the law mandates that no employee is treated differently based on any other metric, and no employee can negotiate their own pay so there's no "favoritism" (yay, diversity and inclusion!). So no matter how much experience the job requires, you automatically make the lowest pay grade allowable for your job if you're coming from outside the system.

Definitely can see that happening. Reddit will let you preach boycotts and anti work all you want. But the moment it affects their bottom line or advertisers, they will shut that shit down

Its interesting how to sub has turned from mostly useless NEETs to a sub which actually has some small amount of sense behind its new found ideology. Most of the drama and idiots we used to see have moved, /r/neet seems like one ot the places they have migrated.

 

[JimmyNugget]

So is this thread just turning into kiwi farms antiwork?
Because I despise that antiwork is run by anarcho communists who whine that non commies dare use their sub. Nooooo you have to want to abolish capitalism and want political commissars!

 

[TurdFondler]

If r/antiwork could shed its commie ideology and embrace the fact anti-work *is* an ideology in and of itself it wouldn't have a thread here. I really agree with the sentiment in the sub but god damn I hate the reddit community

 

[Super Hans]

I "get" anti-work but what I don't understand is how people actually believe that there's so many useless jobs out there. For what purpose? Even in big corporations, why would managers go through the trouble of hiring and training and managing people (and justifying that decision and its KPIs to leadership) if these jobs weren't actually necessary?

A proper answer is way too long for a forum post, but post-WW1 businesses started focusing on sheer size instead of ROI due to business ownership going from a few shareholders to becoming incredibly diffuse through the stock market. Now, instead of an owner like Henry Ford asking his employees 'How will this make me more money?,' stock owners are content with Line Go Up while a manager concerns himself with the question 'How does this get me more power?,' which means getting more employees to lord over, no matter how useless or how obtuse of a tangent it takes from the core business.

If you can ignore the faggy Radiohead cover, I think this is a pretty good intro to managerialism.

 

[Mudslinger]

Just ran into this sub for the first time recently. Only about a tenth of the posts there are reasonable. It's an absolute cesspool of lazy Disney-dorks wanting everyone else to adapt to their fairytale-esque workplace preferences.
