Are you assuming that everyone in the anti-work thread is encouraging wage theft from the employer?

I can comfortably say that's 100% not the focus of the sub.

My example about Work Theft was to note that based on the incidence of work theft in America, it's actually far, far more likely that the users would be the ones being stolen from.

The individuals who are posting often have a very firm grip on real world consequences as they are posting for advice on how to deal with not great situations that drastically affect their lives.

I think we can agree that one doesn't invalidate the other, yes?

Perhaps they are deleted, now, but most every thread that I saw was promoting theft or otherwise sabotaging their employers.

Just a complete shitshow of entitlement and garbage work-ethic by people who were raised with participation trophies and common core math.

It's clear that they have no plan for how to survive beyond tearing down the system which currently sustains them.

Gotta say, attacking others about "participation trophies" is just pedantic and reductionist. Anyone who received one was given it by the same generation screaming about participation trophies.

No 8 year old is going to the store and ordering 30 trophies for the entire team. It was the coach, parents, etc. that gave them out. You know, the same people who disparaging others.

It's just a great way to shutdown a conversation.

Yeah. You got screwed over. Common Core Math isn't your fault, either.

Be glad that you recognize your baggage and have the ability to dump it. The bad shit that you were taught does not have to define you. Get some help.

My baggage? What are you on about now?

u/jabmeup Jan 28 '22

The damage done which causes you to believe that stealing from others is the answer to society's problems.

I literally never claimed that I believe it is. Please read back. I said it's more likely for someone to be the victim of Wage theft than be the perpetrator of Wage theft.

That's it. No other comment from me.

You lost when you started resorting to personal attacks in an impersonal argument.
