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

[SaidNoOneEver]

The interview and then fall out on the subreddit obviously shows the issues it has but these things only matter for reasonable people and I think in the long run it's only going to allow the subreddit to gain a larger audience. It hasn't killed it and now will only make it stronger

I predicted the gaslighting would be successful. That dude who appeared on Fox will be forever known as a rogue mod who did the interview against everyone's wishes and is in no way representative of the others.

Who makes a career out of a warehouse job? Perhaps that's why there's a high turnover rate?

"How am I supposed to buy a nice house stacking boxes part time?" You aren't supposed to and nobody has ever expected that until about 5 minutes ago.

You don't live in a rural community have you?

Retail work is often the only jobs available, so you have a lot of people make a career out of it because it's the only steady paying job available. Same with fast food or working at a gas station or convenience store or grocery store.

Some people MIGHT be lucky to eventually get a management or assistant management job, but for the most part that is as good as it gets.

As for housing; rural areas have lower cost of living (especially houses vs trailers and renting vs buying) along with the fact that multi-generational households still exist as a thing in rural areas.

Jon Stewart must still regard Tucker Carlson's redemption arc with silent awe. How could he have possibly predicted baiting morons into saying stupid things live with a dumbfounded look on your face would end up being even funnier than the shit The Daily Show was churning out?

That "did ... did you really just say that?" expression completely resurrected Carlson's career after the whole Crossfire thing killed it.

Don't know about Stewart personally, but both Stephen Colbert and John Oliver DESPISE the fact that not only did Tucker rise from the ashes, but that he's now the motherfucking FACE of Fox News and has basically given them another twenty years in terms of bringing in the younger demographic.

John Oliver in particular, will often spend entire SEGMENTS calling Tucker all sorts of vile names and engage in blood libel level attacks on Tucker and ANYTHING Tucker talks about.

The fucking hate Oliver has for Tucker is frightening to behold, because deep down the limey faggot (who only has a career because he bamboozled Stewart into thinking he was funny after being blackballed from British TV for being an unfunny ratings poison fucker) is LIVID that Tucker is on top of the world while Oliver's Sempai failed miserably post-Daily Show and spent the bulk of his contract with HBO (which Oliver helped negotiate for Stewart) sitting at home, because all of the sitcom ideas Stewart pitched to HBO were god-awful and the only one that made it to pilot was a cartoon about Fox News being run by furries. And no amount of god-damn fluff segments designed to trend on Youtube or celebrities that Oliver drunk dials at 10AM in the morning to beg them to do a cameo on his show, can make up for the fact that he gets shit ratings compared to Tucker's show.

Jesus Christ. This is the post that started this shit. Where do you see anything about "retail jobs" in my reply? It's very specific.

Like constantly going "ok so how do we do X?" and the answers constantly coming back down

This was how I accidentally proved to my mother how useless Oprah Winfrey was as an "authority" on much of anything. For a time, Oprah had a real hard-on against child predators and focused a good number of her daytime show episodes on it. I made it through exactly two episodes of that empty-headed overpaid mouthy fatass proclaiming how evil chomos were (yeah, no shit lady) without offering a god damn thing to do about it before I finally complained. My mother got (unusually) upset and demanded to know why I didn't care about child predators. I said "I do care, but she's just saying the same thing over and over again." "But she's helping!"

I asked her "how?" She replied "she's raising awareness!" "Cool. Well now we're aware. Now what?" You know those rare moments when you see that little light bulb appear over someone you love when they suddenly realize what you're getting at? This was one of those. Feels good, man.

An activist will get angry at you and go on the offensive if they think you oppose them. That same activist will get enraged and try to fucking kill you if you ask them too many questions that lead them towards the uncomfortable realization that they don't have the slightest clue what they're actually trying to achieve or what they need to do to make real progress towards it.

Screw it, I hate this crap. We need to stop telling kids they're special and tell them they don't matter instead. Because it's the fucking truth.

Nah. People don't matter by default, but they can matter in some instances if they put in the work. It's no guarantee (nothing ever is) but it's shitty to tell somebody they'll never matter. Nothing would ever get done if nobody ever tried.

Especially because the new subreddit r/WorkReform is a bipartisan antiwork sub for unions and reform
and all the AntiWorkers are saying it's a "right wing troll sub"

They're both packed full of rabid trannies, tranny defenders and wokies. Carbon copies of each other. They'll fling shit back and forth over the fence at each other until one of them grows enough to absorb the other, which will happen with a minimum of fuss (barring one convenient "controversy" that excuses the final exodus to the "winning" sub).

Don't know about Stewart personally, but both Stephen Colbert and John Oliver DESPISE the fact that not only did Tucker rise from the ashes, but that he's now the motherfucking FACE of Fox News and has basically given them another twenty years in terms of bringing in the younger demographic.

Oh I didn't mean to suggest Stewart was happy that Tucker Carlson pulled a phoenix maneuver. I have no doubt he's as pissed as Colbert and Oliver that he's still around; Stewart intended for his appearance on Crossfire to be a kill shot for both Carlson's and his cohost's careers.

John Oliver in particular, will often spend entire SEGMENTS calling Tucker all sorts of vile names and engage in blood libel level attacks on Tucker and ANYTHING Tucker talks about.

I was wondering what the useless hack was filling his dreadfully boring show with now that he didn't have Trump to whine about. Somehow it doesn't surprise me that he's still yelling helplessly at people more successful than him.

The fucking hate Oliver has for Tucker is frightening to behold, because deep down the limey faggot is LIVID that Tucker is on top of the world while Oliver's Sempai failed miserably post-Daily Show. And no amount of god-damn fluff segments designed to trend on Youtube or celebrities that Oliver drunk dials at 10AM in the morning to beg them to do a cameo on his show, can make up for the fact that he gets shit ratings compared to Tucker's show.

Jealousy really does seem to be the only thing that comes naturally to Oliver. Comedy and timing certainly don't. Neither does reading the room. He will forever be forced to eat shit over the now infamous clip of his enthusiastic reaction to news that Trump was considering a presidential bid in 2016: "do it!" That makes me happy.

The solution is to ask for a portfolio of prior work or presented a test case for applicants to do. Why that isn't more common I don't know, but quite a lot of jobs would get better hires if they just judged people by what they were capable of.

Mostly because it takes both time and someone qualified enough to determine whether or not such a portfolio is advantageous for the company, and well, in some sense the CV is what you said but it is kind of easy to just lie or exaggerate things there; the thing is that the most time-efficient thing to do while hiring is having someone go "oh, you studied at X university and worked at Y company", and make choices based on that alone, and that's not even taking into account the fact that some places employ people based on how they look, what they wear, if they have children, if they are or have been married. The way jobs are given is fucked up beyond just credentialization, there's a whole profiling process behind it.

A huge problem is how much of hiring is outsourced or "automated" in order to try and expedite the process. Trying to cut as much chaff from a pile of resumes as possible before even looking at them has lead to over-uniformity that doesn't seem to let applicants actually represent themselves. Add on a bunch of "best practices" inheritted from HR as well as some automated submission system based on keywords and formats, and suddenly half the people qualified will never have their resume read by a real human.

There's a reason why "networking" became such a meme; it is legitimately the only reliable way to get an interview.

Applying for jobs is a joke. The only job I ever formally interviewed/applied for was an entry-level job I got to help pay for college, and it was the kind of grunt-work job where knowing someone doesn't really matter since they just want warm bodies to fill space and you're gonna quit after a few years anyway.

There's a very low chance that genuine long-term employment will come from randomly mailing off your CV to someone, and I don't know why anyone bothers. It's easier to assert yourself somehow in the circle of people you want to work for or with, and then slip your name onto the pile when you hear about a hiring opportunity. You might have to submit an application, but it'll be given a cursory read at best and you're better off if they can put a face to the name.

 

[BoomerSperg1922]

It was exactly that. And I did watch it play out in real time. And then sunk into despair reconsidering my ideals for several years. I have not lost my ideals. Let's just say they're scuffed up a bit though.

That's funny because watching progressive racist shitheads bloviate about why someone should get to talk over another person because whitey is evil has had me showing up to every election, even local tiny ones with ~9% turnout to vote exclusively republican for over a decade now. That whore saying her job will be to "tell white people to shut up" trying to get elected to DNC leader in 2016/2017 or whatever and getting a room full of applause really just reinforced that.

I don't think it's possible to put into words how much I hate these people.

Is the financial sector out of control? Yes. Is it worth allying with these vermin to do something about it? No.

Many do, smarter workplaces are fully aware of being bitten by empty degrees or certified idiots who are good at "somehow" passing exams.

The stereotype about people getting more conservative as they age isn't true. I believe the same shit, I just believe in people way less. Because they keep finding new and exciting ways to make me cringe

 

[NulWillBecomeTranny]

I thought that shit would become so radicalized, that it would eventually die.
Especially because the new subreddit r/WorkReform is a bipartisan antiwork sub for unions and reform
and all the AntiWorkers are saying it's a "right wing troll sub"

It is not bipartisan. Their logo is the BLM anus fist and their top posts are about how much they hate conservatives and republicans. It's already overrun by radical leftists. Every reddit political movement is doomed to become a leftist circlejerk because it's reddit. Their mods are attempted to prune posts that actively shit on christians and white people, but it is doomed from the start because it's reddit.

 

[z0mb0]

people getting more conservative as they age

This is just means

just believe in people way less

and applying it to how you go about your day and planning

doomed to become a leftist circlejerk

I'm gonna let you in on a secret, Out of all the black revolutionary types, Standard Muslim to ultra Post socialist types. They fucking despise these people, they don't know how to interact or hold a conversation with or just be regular people to talk to. I'm a pretty RW guy and i have no problem doing it. Thet only can do it online and only to sites that cater to them but no one likes them.

I'd rather lick banker boots forever than ever collaborate with them on anything.

Why not do neither and work towards something you actually want instead of don't want the least?

I wonder if those stats are adjusted for age?
The overwhelming majority of trannies in the workforce would be 18 to 30 years old so more likely to be on entry level positions. Not to mention they usually choose shit degrees. Of course they would make less.
