And it never changes...

At least some communities online are open to talking about it, I guess. Still feels like brainworms leeching off their hosts, though.

I worked hard, had more savings built up than I'd ever had before, so much I was able to even help cover a friend's cancer treatment!!!!!! Was looking at preparing to do more stuff and then my life fell apart all of a sudden, lost my job, crippling depression, now I'm broke and would be homeless and starving if my parents hadn't been able to step in and support me (for now? idk how long but I'm still incapacitated and not really thinking about long term survival right now).

But it just really drives home how fucking pointless this racket is. My mental health went kind of to shit from working so much, it was hard on my relationship and that was one (not the main, I think but a non-negligible one) contributor to it falling apart and my life getting ruined.

Fuck this racket, fuck capitalism, fuck work culture fuck it all. Yeah I don't want to work anymore, it's pointless and everything I worked for, all those savings, just fucking evaporated from one big life crisis that may not have happened if I hadn't even been working so much.

Theyre right. about me st least.

I dont wanna fucking work anymore. Im fkn tired. My back and knees hurt from crawling thru tunnels to fix broken pvc and cut out 75 year old cast iron. My hands hurt. My feet hurt from constant 14 hour shifts.

Im wrecking my body and the last bit of good health i have left so rich assholes can have swimming pools, and bedroom sized showers that use 5-10 times the EPA's water usage guidelines because fuck everyone else.

Im tired boss, or whatever the meme is.

Nobody wants to hire anymore

I feel immensely lucky to have a job where I can do nearly nothing for most of the time and there’s not a goddamn thing any micromanaging asshole can do about it

It boils my piss

I love your way with words

Tbf I really don’t want to work anymore

It's not like the work is making the world better. We're not piling sandbags before a rising flood and the young people won't get off their dang smart phones. The "work" is like selling insurance for wireless earbuds or putting seventeen pumps of seasonal-themed sugar syrup into a latte. Fuck off. If anything this "work" should be done poorly. Because it's killing the planet and putting microplastics in our brains. We're generating revenue for the fascist misogynist tech sector patriarchs by zapping our brains with ad riddled media because, apparently, that generates revenue in this stupid fucktodeath world. Somewhere out there thirty million kids are getting yelled at to buy a product by an AI generated voice and that's the reason some fucking dipshit who thinks "roko's basilisk" is real can afford to buy a giant house.

Whining olds should thank their lucky stars this awful machinery is able to coerce even lackluster participation from young people. Because they should be murdering all of us in preemptive revenge for what we've done to them.

You're right, I don't want to work, I don't even want to leave my house. Piss off already.

People dislike doing things that are unrewarding, more news at 11.

boils my piss

Yep, that's Dirt_Owl alright

I used to have that people-pleasing hard-working country-boy attitude. Long long ago. It died when I realized no business gives a flying fuck about me and will pay me next to nothing and smile to my face and pat me on the head.

Now I can't even fake that I'm a hard worker. I don't care enough. I just want the check and I'll do the minimum to get it.

I'm a burnt out and tired husk right now, but thats only because I'm job hunting as a fresh graduate...

I like my job but I don't wanna work

Everyone at my work who's younger than me works way harder. Often it's cause they're younger and aren't a very experienced and indispensable part of the business,my being canned would fuck the place up BIG time so I operate with a lot less fear and really try to endorse efficiently over hard work and also cause it's a kitchen to get people to stop giving 'help' that isn't asked for 'stop trying to help me and help me' yo paralhrase Morpheus. Where say there's an order for 3 pizzas that's a one person job and often someone will drop whatever they're doing to go help, that isn't necessary or useful, keep doing what your doing and let people both ask for help when needed and also when you go to help someone they're thr one cling the shots, the asker should instruct the person helping and the helper should ask what helps best. Having people jump in and finish orders that are 3 chits away from what I'm doing doesn't actually do anything for me. 'What can I do for you?' Is the first thing to say when offering help. Otherwise you're imposing 'help'

Yeah I think it’s true both ways right? People don’t want to work, because working under capitalism sucks, and then that creates a shitty environment for everyone involved. And then people being pissed for that but not recognizing it’s because of capitalism and instead think it’s a personal defect are assholes and that creates a shitty environment for everyone involved. And it’ll keep getting worse, on both ends of that. And that’s just how the decay of the empire is gonna go. It’ll suck to have your surplus value exchanged for your labor, and it’ll suck to purchase anything from anybody. Until everything breaks

The cognitive dissonance of the generational slap fighting frustrates the hell outta me. Take any social commentary, documentary, movie, involving young people from like 1960 until today and you’ll see the exact same young people bashing over and over again.

What especially fucks me up is that it seems like people want to believe this weird, sad fairy tale that “we’re the last good & sane generation.” It’s painfully obvious to me that there are good and crazy people of all age groups and walks of life why are people so entrenched in the ideal of stereotyping??

It boils my piss

does this idiom mean your fosters is warm or that it burns when you go to the loo?

To paraphrase a certain Karl Marx, from each according to their ability, to each according to their needs.

Instead of having a bunch of BS jobs that don't actually contribute to society, we should have a society that meets everyone's needs first, and then let the people contribute back to society in the way that they can.

I think more people would genuinely want to "work" if they could work on their passion projects, or would agree to work somewhere because they actually want to do the thing to contribute back to society.

If you're reading this and saying, well, nobody would want to do [insert position], then there's no excuse for not devoting resources to either automate the task or improve working conditions to make that no longer the case.

there's always someone willing to work, the only thing that's wrong is the price if no one wants it.

The funny part is i would actually love to work, given it’s actual work where I can see the fruits of my labor, i’m treated with respect and autonomy and my neurodivergency is considered, a shorter work week, and pays enough to survive without stressing. But apparently that’s asking too much
