I thought r/antiwork was really about calling out abusive employers and guiding us to better work/life relationship, but it is actually against all work in any form. Meaning, if your house catches fire, it's up to you to put it out - they don't want anyone employed as professional firefighters who might actually know WTF they're doing. Medical problems? Fix it yourself. There's no paramedics to respond, no surgeons to fix you, no pharmacists for drugs, no nurses/techs for recovery.
If it was a movement about fixing worker conditions (a submarine advertisement for unions, if you will), it'd actually be a good movement. But right now, it's positioning itself as just an angry outcry forum that apparently wants the planet to be ruled by anarchy and extreme independence.
What a waste of potential. If you don't believe me, try asking them what the good industries are that have good work/life balance. The answers you'll get boil down to "there are no good jobs at all".
- onemoresoop 5y agoI think it's a movement about fixing work conditions and somewhat aggressive towards corporations and their practices. Taking it to an extreme may be a push to kill off the movement.
