> I see a lot of expectations for others to be generous to them not the other way around I don't see that at all. If you follow the /r/antiwork subreddit, then it's really not about people expecting free stuff or generosity for nothing in return. People just don't want to be treated like shit by their managers. People expect not to be fired because they refused to come in on their day off for the 3rd time in a row. People expect to be able to attend family events that they told their boss weeks in advance. People just expect to be treated decent by their employer. Nobody seriously expects stuff for free. Anti-work is about people saying, if you keep walking all over me just to feel good about yourself, then go do the work yourself, I don't need the paycheck enough to deal with your abuse.

AKA expecting others to be generous. >People expect not to be fired because they refused to come in on their day off for the 3rd time in a row. They could take days off that aren't scheduled if they were skilled or non disposable workers or if they chose a job without a shitty boss. Whose fault is it to work with a shitty boss? If you stay in an abusive relationship, who chose to stay?

  So your default is to treat others like shit? Not treating someone like shit isn't the result of generosity, it's the result of not being an arsehole.

    > So your default is to treat others like shit? That’s rude and presumptious, like the very behavior you dislike. My default is not to expect others to be nice and generous, like if you work for an asshole do you expect them not to be an asshole? Is that an intelligent assumption? I have realistic expectations.

      You're the one who's equating 'not treating people like shit' as being 'generous'.
