Yes everyone against labor abuse is a dog walker basement dweller.
Not everyone, but those mods definitely are.
One of their mods literally was a 20 hour work week dog walker who wanted to work less.
No, just the ones on antiwork
The general themes on r/antiwork helped me leave a job after being disrespected after asking for a fair raise. That led to switching careers into data science and doubling me salary and doing far more meaningful work. There, I met a colleague, a 45 year old woman, and we were talking about pay equity and our current workplace, and she brought up to ME that she followed antiwork during COVID and how it also helped her realize her self-worth. She's now moved and found an even better opportunity.
It's mega cringe a lot of the time, and the value drops off after a month or two of following I'd say, but overall I think it was a force for good. At least in two people's lives.
Definitely, had a similar experience of r/antiwork giving me a bit of a nudge to leave a crappy job where I had some similarly unfortunate conversations with management. Hope you’re enjoying the new career!
Tell her about setting up an account here. Give her some guidance on which instance to first try, how to subscribe to magazines/communities, etc.
If you're really anti-work and pro-sticking-it-to-the-man, you'll leave Reddit rather than cave to spez's demands.
What on earth do ya'll have against dog walkers? I've never seen this as an insult before.
The only professional dog walker I've known was a really shitty manager in a powerful position, too, hardly an antiwork guy.
