Hate Work Thread

It's crazy how deeply ingrained wage fear is. No matter how horrible work it. No matter how devastating it is to your mental health. People still say stick with it. It's very disturbing. It's odd people don't see it as a primary source of oppression.

I found myself in a similar situation 7 years ago. It made me take work for granted. Now I get to drink copious amounts of coffee and code shit, and I still take work for granted.

Is being on unemployment benefit, struggling to put food on the table, having to rely on someone else to put a roof over your head, and having fading hopes of finding employment somehow better for your mental health?

Or you could always just live a self-sustaining lifestyle in the woods and forget the world exists.

There's no answer. But it can reach a point where work is worse than deprivation.

So pretty much you don't want to work so your going to call it enslavement.

I'm just going to put as little effort into as I can until I get fired and try to get unemployment.

yeah, because **** your coworkers that really want to do well at the job, right?

Couldn't care less about them. Honestly, if they all died the only thought in my head would be if I could use the situation to get some time off. That's not at all an exaggeration. Their well-being means nothing to me. I don't hate them. I just don't care about them either way. I certainly don't give a **** how my work ethic affects their day to day.

Man I can't wait until you are forced to work with someone you don't like. It'll give you a completely new perspective.
