No happiness allowed

On the grind

Every underachiever has the same dream job: one that doesn't require them to do any work . Achieving this sort of career in doing absolutely nothing is pretty rare, but stumbling into one completely by accident is the stuff of fairytales. This is precisely what happened to u/jerichomega , who recently confessed to r/antiwork that they basically won the job lottery. After their direct manager got the boot, OP had no one to answer to and miraculously, no one has given them any work to do for seve…

Another week of w*rk

You can only work so many hours every week before you crack. While some think 40 hours a week is a back-breaking amount of working hours, others must tolerate 50-60 hours of weekly work to stay afloat financially. In my opinion, that's when you start getting a bit loopy. If you're working nearly every day without any breaks, you put yourself at risk for long-term health issues and general distress. If you have no time for loved ones or hobbies, then what is the hard work really for? Some people…

I guess we'll never know!

What you do outside of work hours is your business. No customer, parent, or boss should have any say in what you do when you're off the clock. I feel bad for people with highly scrutinized professions, like teachers, who need to drive an hour away to feel comfortable going to a bar. So many parents expect teachers to be more moral than them, even when the teachers are nowhere near their kids. It's a highly unrealistic expectation that shouldn't be projected onto anybody. Teachers aren't the onl…

Get to work

There are some jobs you can't help but call out from sometimes. Sure, sometimes you're actually sick, but you know as well as I do that you're not always telling the gospel truth when calling in with a story about a mystery illness. In college, I was addicted to calling off from my security guard job. Granted, I had a genuinely unsustainable schedule of classes, extracurriculars, and work that made showing up to my 7 AM shift every Monday difficult. Not only that, but I had to work 8 hours that…

Yeah right

That can't be legal

Everyone gets some sick satisfaction from overhearing someone talking smack about you, especially someone you've been suspicious about from the jump. When someone talks about you behind their back, they have all the power. However, when you overhear the sh*t talking, you get some of the power back and are at least able to defend yourself against their claims about you. This Uno Reverse Card puts the sh*t-talker in an awkward position because you were never really supposed to know what they felt…

Clocking in

Mr. Krabs in the flesh!

They definitely deserve at least a pizza party after that bend-and-snap.

Getting down to it
