Or you can work 56 hours a week, like the job I have now. I haven't done that in months, thanks Buddha.

How do they even get oil for a year without payment? Where does the next payment for you come from.

Lmao why don't you just say okay cough up the money now or die? What company is this nice?

This is giving me wartime flashbacks to the tumblr shoplifting fandom that was big in the mid to late 2010's. Getting employees fired when there's too much shrink or making them lose their jobs if the store has to close is really sticking it to the eeeeevil bosses!

This sounds like a kleptomaniac trying to trick store workers into letting them steal by framing it as an act of pro worker solidarity.

yeah this shit isn't helping workers. If enough shit goes missing during certain workers shifts then they get fired. Plus most shoplifters steal shit like makeup and electronics. they're not starving they want the latest product

Shiftless bums have always been with us, the recent generations just think they've invented the concept.

Hopefully there are enough level headed hard workers around to keep the infrastructure going despite the layabouts.

I found a clip of Dr Timothy Leary speaking in 1967, encouraging anti-establishment sentiment. 1967. He was talking to Boomers.

And, wouldn't you know it, you got some r/antiwork folks coming out of the woodwork to support this.


Because, yes, I'm sure the subreddit quite infamous for being filled with lazy, entitled cunts is actually populated by hard workers disillusioned with the prospect of hard work, as if this thread doesn't have enough evidence to the former.

Glad someone bumped this thread because I've got some goodies:



The abundance of the world is such that everyone can have free healthcare / transportation / education / food / shelter and also nobody has to work to provide any of these things.



Having to stack boxes or press numbers on a keyboard in the first world is exactly like being in a forced labor camp. And this guy isn't being a lazy bum, he's striking a powerful blow to the capitalist overlords on reddit!



No, America has brainwashed women into avoiding pregnancy at all costs so they can be productive girlbosses for a few more years. Case in point:



A highly-upvoted thread saying that families are stupid, chuddy, climate change-causing, wastes of time and potential. The happiest women are childless, single, and rich! Wait why is antiwork praising a bloomberg article about first worlders getting rich? Don't think about it, that's too much work! But with guys like this on the market, can you blame the ladies for holding out?



Yeah buddy if your parents refused to work you'd be free to live on the street.



Woman doesn't know what competition is. I wonder if she likes guys who have 'ambition' and 'can pay their way' which 99% of women do but totally aren't codewords for 'successfully competes for resources.' But these next guys don't care about resources; they only want one thing: REVOLUTION!



I could forgive an idiot leftist for thinking Covid will usher in a new pro-worker Renaissance in 2020, but it's beyond farcical for an anarchist to believe it will do so now. Bro, they got their wealth transferance and their emergency powers; now you get back in your fucking cage and eat inflation stew. Maybe he can form a vanguard with this bold guy:



By 'mutual aid' he means begging and living off charity because there's no way a mutual aid network is going to cough up your rent every month without being some sex cult.



Hey guys! I'm a Haliburton ex-contractor here but I left because I didn't want to get paid six figures to do jack shit. But now I'm totally one of you guys and I'm all for the revolution! Could people here please link their social media handles and make statements about when and where they would like to act? The future belongs to you guys who will never have it as good as something I turned my nose up at!




Antiwork will swear up and down that work from home doesn't negatively affect productivity. Then they'll upvote shit like this, which is bragging about how they don't work and still get paid. And finally:



There's no fucking way this person speaks English natively. "Hello antiwork! the young generation, they no put up with shitty work environment! My niece quitted her two jobs and is at (current job) 3 years and she love it and will stay at job long time! Please keep quitting and lowering your economic output, this will lead to happiness!"

This pretty much sums up everything about antiwork.

Nah, I’m sure there are plenty of shit engineers, but again: You don’t need them super skilled. Just able to keep simple shit running, fix it when something breaks, and supervise the menial workers.


And there are actual skilled engineers as well. (Fuckers have been learning man. Letting American companies set up shop in China and steal their IP was great for China and a major fail on America’s part.

You can hand over the specifications and requirements and have a prototype in a few weeks. That kind of turnaround time is impossible in the US.

That sounds like just good ole paying attention and not being a fuck off...which is this entire subreddit

Lets reframe this. An employee is comparing his employer to a Kommandant at Auschwitz because as punishment for poor performance they no longer tolerate what is technically theft.

I’m going to take a guess and propose that part of the reason for this is that it became clear that staff was blatantly trying to have products become “staled” as an excuse for a free meal. I know there is precedent: my mother told me that when she worked at a Pizza King for a summer job, employees would get to eat the pizzas that were prepared wrong, and that there were plenty of times where somebody deliberately boned an order to get something to eat after their shift. It goes without saying that management will inevitably draw conclusions if staff seems to constantly get orders wrong and not serve items before they are supposed to be taken out of the buffet when that means they can get those “unsellable” items themselves.

When I was working at a grocery store chain at several locations, they had a “dark steak” program where meat that didn’t look bright red was considered a dark steak and marked down to 99 cents a pound for employees to buy since it was assumed that customers wouldn’t get it was still safe to eat. Unsurprisingly this system got abused and guys in the meat department would mark down shit like ribeyes and filet mignon in order to get invited to parties, free stuff from other departments, etc. At one location I worked at, it all came crashing down when a guy insisted a T bone steak sliced that day was actually a dark steak and some brand new cashier snitched to the store manager, who got pissed off. The dark steak program ended at that store that day and revenue went up by a few thousand dollars a month, which they attributed to ending the dark steak program. So dozens into hundreds of pounds of meat was getting considered dark steaks that customers were willing to buy.

The antiwork fags don't realize the 'fringe benefits' of working.
I made minimum wage behind the deli counter and tripled my earnings in deli meat alone.
I never paid for a sandwich or cheese. After I quit, I had to start giving away shit in my fridge before it went bad.

Some aspects of work aren't so bad...

There is no such thing as bad work, just bad bosses. If you have a good boss, you will have a great time.

Minimum wage was never about a single person affording and uper middle class lifestyle. It was about pricing minorities and immigrants out of the workforce. The idea was that the boss wouldn't pay a negro $1 but you would pay a white man that. One of many abject racist ideas of the progressives of that era that's still promoted today. Based on the values this guy is posting, he's probably in San Francisco or some other overpriced hellhole.

He’s got a point though, just made in a really whiny way that only a commie knows how. Pay rises have been detached from inflation since about the 70’s. Corporate income has slowly been funnelled away from workers and into the pockets of establishment goons for 50 years and the amount is only increasing every year. You could afford a house on one income not long ago but now both parents need to work to support a family and a roof over their heads. There’s no one else to blame except for governments that change laws and regulations to benefit their buddies in the private sector while they get rich off insider trading and corporate kickbacks. The common man is getting fucked by their governments, corporations are only taking advantage of laws that are rigged in their favour, anyone would do the same. These pinkos blame capitalism all the while worshipping the governments that continue to fuck them with rules like lockdowns which facilitated the biggest wealth transfer in history during the pandemic. It’s short-sighted and their anger is misplaced.
