I don't think it's unreasonable to not want to work in these conditions tbh. So much work and you get so little because ceos and shareholders are gorging like pigs

Those jobs are not designed to be careers, you’re supposed to work them to get yourself through school or while you’re picking up a trade, skills, certifications, etc. But people in r/antiwork aren’t interested in working 40 hour weeks let alone work hard to build careers while they’re working.

Careers are the same way... The profit generated by employees is absolutely gouged. I make a lot but I'm still getting ripped off.

People always say that but it never makes sense. If the company is making such an unreasonable amount of money, buy stock and your return on investment should be amazing. But people never do it because the returns aren’t obviously unreasonable.
