30 Anti-Work Posts That Might Make You Want To Quit On The Spot

Name one person, just one person, who came by their fortunes legitimately. Inheritance? Follow the money backwards. The rich use their attorneys like they were attack dogs, combing through government laws to find loopholes and work arounds. Lottery winners might be the only ones who didn't screw someone over to pad their bank account.

Me wanting a living wage is "greed" but Elon Musk buying another super yacht is A-Okay. Got it.

Jeff Bezos flying around in space for 10 minute is a-okay but me wanting a livable wage is a problem??

*cough*elonmusk*cough*

Louder for the people in the back!

Another study showed that bears defecate in the woods.

MURICA!!!

WWJD? Pretty sure it ain't this.

billionaires profit off our misery THAT is wrong

That revolution can't get here soon enough.

Stress doesn't merely change a person on a molecular level, it's inherited. Those stress genes are passed on to the next generations.

Saw a reel recently where someone said that billionaires should be taxed on their assets as well as than their income. Since some of them pay themselves $1 a year in salary

It is right now officially impossible to unionize. You can vote for one and win the right to unionize, and then have 90 days to get it approved by the NLRB board. But since Trump fired workers off the NLRB board and has refused to appoint any new ones, thus leaving the board without the minimum quorum to be functional, no new unions can be approved. So, Trump has taken away the Constitutional right to unionize. Thanks again, MAGAts.

"the guilt you feel about it isn't real"? I disagree. The guilt is part of the system, programmed in by religion and those stupid awards at school for perfect attendance. The guilt should be beaten down vigorously and told to f**k off.

I miss sir terry. When I read his last discworld novel I had to keep stopping cos of the tears. It was a great book but sadly the last....getting all teary again now x

'We' are cutting the government offset for ACA and making those slackers on Medicaid get jobs. "WHAT? What do you mean you can't work cause your body's all used up from a lifetime of manual labor?"

Just put all government officials on minimum wage. It'll go up to a living wage and you'll get better government officials.

He lived long enough to become the villain.

1. There are pills that do that? 2. Where can I get some (without going to a doctor)?

Then Musk's mommy tells the rest of us peasants that we don't have to go out eat, just pop out kids we don't want.

Sorry, but why do you think "socialized healthcare" means waiting in line? If I need a doctors appointment I call them and be seen in the next tree days. If they think it's an emergency I'm seen right away. Normal medical triage is perfomed for appointments and surgeries.

Unemployment is not more than you made at your job. What would be the incentive in that ?

And real wages have been treading water for decades, too.

"I'll just put in a self-serve kiosk and have my CUSTOMERS work for me"

What a pessimistic! I have gotten a long without these things for many years and (knock on wood) have not experienced such drastic outcomes! /somewhat sarcastic, realizing that I have been lucky and basic needs, such as healthcare, SHOULD BE AFFORDABLE

Don't buy em. It's all a confidence trick by DeBeers.

Important that you have a house, then.

Tales from the Riverbank! I loved the TV series that had real animals. Early '70's IIRC.

Or cry everyday under communism.

Yes, my MAGAt co-workers still cry about the "violence" of BLM and say they should protest peacefully. And then they throw a fit when anyone kneels for the anthem at a sporting event and want them immediately deported.

Mine is retire, survive until I can't, die.

It is in their best interests to do so. Not only do they get more money but keeping the working class poor mean there will always be some poor slob willing to do whatever they have to just to survive.

Every day

Silly person, should have replied "Firing Squad"

Technically, they remotely disabled your printer. At least if they did it manually, they'd have to physically come to your office and possibly risk violence.

V for Vendetta but everyone is wearing Luigi masks.

Good

And yet people admire them. I know someone who doesn't understand my antipathy towards the rich ruling class and says they must deserve it. He wants to be an indentured s**f I think.

This is especially true in the case of transit worker strikes. The news is always about how this will hurt commuters. We are workers too bro. I support your strike. If it means it takes me a bit longer to get to work for a month, then so be it. Solidarity!

Because 'oh a squirrel!'

"Nobody wants to work anymore", someone in Venezuela says.."wanna bet?" then complain about all the folks coming over the border. If ICE were to actually want to get rid of illegal immigrants, they would START at JBS and every other slaughterhouse where the cleanup crews are underage, never mind the floor workers. But that would affect everyone's lives, and that would be wrong, RIGHT? Mr CEO?

Without actual numbers, it is impossible to tell how badly or well off she is. Is she is making / her father was making in 1993 $1 million a year, I would have trouble sympathizing.

This is so screwed up. Let the Bills owner pay from his own pocket.

While I agree 100% with Bernie in sentiment, he's under the very dubious assumption that there will be true democratic elections in the United States going forward.

Trump, Bezos, Musk, Johnson, Sunak, Ree-Mogg, Bolsanaro, Orban, Putin, Zuckerberg, Netanyahu, Farage, Truss, and all the rest

Sometimes I think that the real reason that people get upset and think that jobs like flipping burgers get paid too much is that they themselves are underpaid and don't want to admit it. Got to look down your nose at people working in fast food....

I'm in a union and my union dues are about 3% of my wages. But I actually work with Trump supporters who say we don't need a union because the union steals from our wages. And yet, non-unionized workers in my same job make 50% less wages and get 80% less benefits. I keep telling these people to leave and go work at Wal-Mart. The cognitive dissonance is crazy.

This is sad. Teachers and first responders should be getting the kind of money paid to "celebrities."

I cannot find anything supporting that number! In 2023, the average was 31%. ETA and this is from 2019!

Well isn't this a generalization? If you're poor you MUST be depressed and need therapy?

I remember about 8 years ago there was a story about three tech companies planning to fire 40.000 Indians and hire 200 Europeans instead. I was absolutely shocked by the numbers. I mean, ratio 200:1 is crazy.

Is there maybe some... ritual to summon Yeongno?

No morality clause in the Supreme Court oath

Yet you still vote for it.

In the us the average salary is $63,119. For 9 months of work. That seems like a decent (average) wage to me? You can look up states - https://govsalaries.com/salaries/teacher-salary

He lived before the Dark Times, before the Empire

I get paid a lot to sit in the can and read magazines all day

Why is america in quotes and not "cost"?

Yeah, and some of us are realizing that there will be no retirement, we will just have to work until we absolutely can't anymore.

Either that or disorganise in an organised manner

That's why socialism works in Europe. But in America, we only have socialism for the wealthy and corporations.

I remember when a man selling women's shoes could buy a house and a car and not have to eat.
