: : "The question is not whether but when work can be an expression of our freedom. I cannot lay out here the full conditions under which we can be free not just from but through work. But a few last points are worth making about the kinds of social freedom that a shared labor regime makes possible. One is that we can recover a piece of the post-work vision not by attacking the work ethic but by reconceptualizing it. In a society where everybody is ready to do their share of the necessary labor, nobody is forced to work. That is because, if someone were to stop doing what has to be done, others would step in and do it, meaning all the necessary work would still get done. Moreover, in a society where everybody is ready and willing to do their share as a matter of internal motivation, nobody would have to do all that much. The eight-hour day might become the four-hour day. That is the heart of the traditional connection between sharing labor and leisure in a socialist society. Sharing labor is the path to avoiding having to force people to work and to securing free time for everyone."

Gave my resignation. Ruined my manager's personal plan and they're now trying to make my life hell. How do I not burn bridges?

Got chewed out at work for moving to a vacant desk with a window, because having a window is "above my position".

A 10-day UPS strike could cost the US economy $7.1 billion. That could make it the costliest work stoppage ever in US history, according to an estimate from a Michigan economic research firm that studies the costs of labor disruptions.

Manager falsely calls police on me thinking I had drugs in my car (I don't have a car) and had them break my apt windows. Then after admitting they had the wrong guy fire me because...............they felt like it? And it's all legal because both my employer and the cops have immunity.
