3/3 #work #workreform #antiwork

With how Reddit deployed API changes and the moderator issue, it does not surprise me they are being sued for having a toxic work culture and that they fired someone for taking sick days.

I read a graphic adaptation of Bob Black’s “Abolition of Work” essay and while I do agree with the majority of his points, I can’t say that I agree with everything. Sure, the system of education is problematic at best…but to say we need to abolish work which makes us mindless and stupid, in favor of learning and expanding our minds, then to also say we need to abolish teachers and education, seems self-contradictory. The author concedes that there is work which has to be done by people in order to maintain a society, but after lambasting leftist movements that attempt to give workers fair compensation for their time and energies. I don’t think the author understands relationships, hobbies, etc. as work and responsibility- they just happen to be work and responsibility we enjoy. I think that there is merit (to put it lightly) in abolishing pointless, menial work and also the concept of a job, but people will always want to take care of others, will want to feed and clothe and nurse each other; we need builders and fixers and engineers and scientists and so much more. To discredit these things as mere “work” is to reject the human spirit. There is no lighthearted “play” without serious “work” to do- and while no one should be forced to work, everyone should be given the opportunity to channel their energy as they see fit, to put in the “work” to grow as a human being and a person in society. #review #books #socialism #antiwork #workreform #bookreview

It’s hotter inside the store than outside. Customers are complaining. In fact I’m sitting in the sun to cool down as I type this. And this note has been left from management #AntiWork #WorkReform #socialism #WorkersRights #LaborUnions

I used to say that, "The people who arrive early at the office overwhelmingly tend to be married men or working mothers."

This banger.

CEO-to-worker pay ratio went from 20-to-1 in the 1960s to about 400-to-1 now.

Back in the 1980s when it was 58-to-1 you could still have a decent middle class life working at the grocery store....

@LokiTheCat they only pay in friskies and their nap schedule is NOT nocturnal.

Don't let the bastards get you down. Settle for no less than individually-packaged Shiba.

employees being expected to celebrate quarterly profits is grotesque. like eating a burger in front of a cow or something.

look at all the chunks we got out of you this quarter, guys! isn't it just the best? keep bleeding!

I might not want to run a factory, but happy to write code for one. administration costs something, and bringing stuff to market does too. there's some network effect that's worth compensating here. i couldn't build the entire widget myself and sell it, or convince others to help me do it.

but modest profits are an absurdity in capitalism; the goal is to create as much capital as possible by pushing down labour and pushing up sales. anything else is criminal - in the case of corporations, literally a potential legal issue with shareholders

corporations have good, generous people in them. but they are in a structure that has a constant pressure towards exploitation. as soon as their power wanes the structure will reassert itself, usually because someone looked at a spreadsheet

there's no pleasure in being a cog, and there's hardly any profit in it either. dollars are not real profit: the life you live is where'd you see it

killing yourself to make a number go up is only profitable if you've been confused about your needs

reading a book in the sun on a random afternoon sounds a lot better to me, and I don't even have to own the book

I do not mean to be a bummer but like

To folks who want a nationwide general strike in the US: we do not get that by picking a date and sharing a post about it online.

You cannot just *do a general strike* without localized mutual aid networks, unions and plans in place to help the people who would literally die as a result of a general strike.

It does not start with a social media post. It starts with community engagement.
