| I'd be interested to hear the ages of people belittling /r/antiwork It seems to me that many are blind to the fact that there's generations of people coming through who are getting dudded on the "work hard and you'll at least be comfortable" agreement of previous generations. Instead they're learning that they'll work hard and that's all they'll do until they die. Wage stagnation, sky-rocketing cost of living, deteriorating working conditions, ever increasing requirements for jobs, unpaid internships, wage theft, rising inequality, astronomical housing costs in large chunks of the western world. "Once in a lifetime" economic meltdowns happening every 10 years (and nobody getting nailed for it) on a dying planet with clowns at the helm. If they're lucky they'll get some of the wealth when their parents die. They've been invited to play a game of Monopoly that's 98% complete and people wonder why they're not overjoyed to be playing all the while listening to older generations to just march on in with your resume and demand to speak to the manager about a job I'm surprised they haven't burned it all to the ground. Maybe one day they will. |
