Reddit forum "r/antiwork" is getting popular, why?

Ground Report | New Delhi: Reddit forum "r/antiwork"; So without warning, the COVID-19 pandemic changed the face of American working life in 2020, perhaps forever. Commuting to the job almost disappeared for anyone an essential worker is not considered when employers became digital operations. Most offices and companies have yet to bring all staff back. Hybrid work became the new buzzword and, it seemed, the new normal going forward.

The anti-work movement, he declares, “ attracts all kinds of people in many ways for different kinds of reasons, perhaps their relationships with themselves, with work ... many people get the meaning of their lives from their work, from their works.

“ And I think that anti-work is a radical philosophy that tries to attack the systemic problems within capitalism, but I also think that this intuitive thing, where a lot of people try to achieve a work-life balance, a lot of people quit their jobs, a lot of people are fed up with how their companies handle covid and things like that ”contribute to increased commitment to anti-work online, she considers.

The recent explosion inactivity on r/antiwork aligns with the rise in union membership in the US and UK through the pandemic, and the "great resignation" as people quit or retreated from their jobs.

"All it cost me was my hobbies ... my relationships," he writes. “ I am single at forty-one, I have elderly parents and a sister from another continent. I live in a horrible one-bedroom flat ... I lost my hair to stress. "

The post continues: “Please don't make my mistakes. Don't sacrifice everything for an employer who doesn't care about you. Don't give up on the things you love because you think that answering emails at ten o'clock will somehow convince a distant and indifferent corporate body that you are worth it.
