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

[残念。]

It also means three shifts fit in the day. Good luck trying to come up with a roster to run your lines 24/7 with anything other than 8 hour shifts.

Every factory job I've worked ran 24/7 with 12 hour shifts. Just gonna have a two week pattern to keep everything even. It makes planning free time a bit more annoying, but that's what a calendar is for.

Bringing up a conversation from a couple pages ago, but whatever. You don't even need education to get a good job. Just get a shitty packing/material handling job at a factory and do you job well. Don't sit there mindlessly packing boxes or whatever menial tasks you're assigned with. Pay attention to the machinery and the processes. Think ahead and bring required shit to the people above you before they need it and they'll notice you. Become an operator, pay attention to your machine, every part in that thing has a purpose, try and figure it out while it's running instead of staring off into the distance. Look at the sensors, think about how the computer knows when faults happen. Get shit ready for changeovers early, use your brain before you call maintenance. Pretty soon you'll be a lead or in maintenance, maybe even a supervisor depending on your inclination.

People notice this shit, be the best bitch ever for a year or two and then you'll have people that are your bitches. Go above and beyond and you'll be better than 90% of the factory workforce. You will be desired. It's not hard.


And yet these people just wanna apply to 5000 office jobs without meaningful experience, hoping to be slobs and do nothing all day and get paid, get ignored and complain. Go learn to actually do something you fat faggots.

I can't even blame them, they're demoralized.

Yes sir, literal 30 year boomer factory worker posting from his own home telling people how to get money but instead they're too busy being mad that I actually did something about my career instead of complaining about capitalism online.

Sounds like your typical Fail Daughter.

Also I wonder how many cases we will see going forward of Kids moving into the Florida Villages with their Boomer Parents?

This might take us a bit off topic, but probably a lot, honestly, and I can't even blame a lot of them.
Yes, we are bound to see a lot of people like the OP of this reddit post, but shit's bad out there. If the boomers sold the "childhood home" to fund their own retirement, and the child is at risk of living on the streets, I can see those boomers letting the "kids" move in even if it's a 55+ community.
It's a wild topic because on the one hand you have entitled redditors like this who really did fail to launch, but then on the other you also have equally real cases of boomer parents pulling a "fuck you I got mine" and leaving absolutely nothing for their children.

Minimum age is a real thing in those communities. Kids can't stay for more than 6 months.

Inspired by the thread in A&N about the intern, here are some similar sentiments from /r/antiwork

I truly hate working to live, and I don’t know what to do
I (25 F) have been at my current job for about 1.5 years. This is the third job that I have had since I was 16. It feels like everyday I get up just to go to work and count down the time until I get to leave. When I leave work on Fridays, it always sets in that the weekend is going to go quickly, and I feel so much guilt for not “appreciating my free time properly”. I wake up early in the morning before work and stay up way too late at night just to feel like I have some sort of free time.
It’s not that I dislike my job; I, for the most part, like my coworkers and the work is easy. There is one coworker who is always on me and jumps on every instance to critique me and one who is a complete moron where everyone has to fix their mistakes, but I feel like some version of that would happen anywhere. I just generally hate spending so much time working. I need the paycheck to pay my bills and rent, but that is my only incentive to keep going everyday. I do not know how to cope with this dreadfulness anymore. How do people do this for decades upon decades?

https://www.reddit.com/r/antiwork/comments/15x7osl/i_truly_hate_working_to_live_and_i_dont_know_what/

Whats even the point of living when all you do is to work?
Most people spend around 11 hours daily from Monday to Friday in work or work related tasks like getting ready and commuting.
Then you have 2 days where you have to shove in all your hobbies and responsibilities and then the cycle starts anew.
You are supposed to do this for 40-45 year. Then you get a small pension and if you are lucky you then have 20-30 years of free time during which your health and energy continuously deteriorates.
If we get 4 working days and 3 free days every week and 6 weeks of vaccation instead of 4 or 5 we would have an actuay life and still be 90% as prodictive as we are with 5/2 days and just 4 or 5 weeks of vaccation.
This model would be a life - what we have now is just a grind. I dont blame the people ripping of the system. Sometimes I think they are the smart ones and the ones still grinding 40 or 50 or 60 hours a week are the Zombies and fools.

That lady would be more happy and fulfilled if she was able to be a Stay at Home Mother.

 

[Free the Pedos]

Being a good stay at home mom is much more demanding and much more rewarding. She might enjoy it, but since she doesn’t mention kids or a partner I doubt it.

Edit: it galls me that she talks as if work itself is terrible, not merely her job. Would she prefer being a subsistence farmer like the majority of humans throughout history? That was a lot harder and less secure. It's fine to want a satisfying job, but it's audacious to expect to not have to work.

 

[Ultrapenguin]

I suspect the reason people could better tolerate work for decades upon decades in the olden days is because the culture was different.

There wasn't overthinking or weird schedules or distance complicating the process. Our grandfather's generation worked at the local steel factory, all his friends and the men in his family worked there, everyone around you shared a similar schedule and work culture, everything was much more automatic.

I'm certain people in the past spent more time laboring than we do, the only difference was the environment it occurred in.

So is the problem now really the number of working hours, or is it that work takes up so much more of a modern person's mental real estate while being less satisfying, because it's a less prescribed, more isolated/isolating process?

The redditors aren't wrong for being unhappy, but I don't think a lot of them are able to correctly identify why they're unhappy. Not uncommon for Reddit.

Lmao, you think that you're getting a pension from your bullshit makework job? Guess again, office drone.

 

[Wallace]

My guess would be that people like this have severe maturity problems. They have no goals or ambitions beyond their immediate pleasure. They have no curiosity or personality. They have no resilience or initiative, because they have been fed a steady diet of other people telling them what to do, whether that be a helicopter parent or social media. If you were to ask one of them what they enjoy or what interests them, they couldn't give you an answer, because their social media feeds have answered that question for them.

The "problem" is work used to be a place of socialization, then "sexual harassment" laws gave rise to "HR" making natural socialization a minefield.
You come to work, avoid discussing anything but work, and then go home.

That is a lot of words to say the zoomers are basically just retarded. And they deserve what life will bring them.

It is talking about having 4 or 5-week vacations, so it's probably European. So yeah, it's getting a pension. This, of course, is subject to change in the coming decades for various reasons too vast to go into in this thread.

I feel so much guilt for not “appreciating my free time properly”.

That woman clearly has enough time to post on Reddit. No sympathy.
