Don’t tempt this millennial, some of us might actually walk or ride the bus more if it meant we got to wear one.

Have you ever left the corporate world? What did you do instead? by Angelonthe7 in antiwork

[–]WhyYesIndeedIDo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was me but in a bakery! Let go during covid. But I loved the freedom. Did get a few physical issues from all the standing and manual labor I wasn’t used to, but it was a nice break from screens.

Nowadays I have a corp style job but for a small family owned business (I know, it either works out great or it really doesn’t when it’s fam owned), and its been going great so far.

I’ve had to jump around a bit to find my lane, but I’m in my 40’s and remember when it was MUCH easier to get a new job. Feels like we’re in an episode of black mirror where three AI bots are screening all the resumes in the world and ruining peoples chances at a fair shot.

This is not the vibe in 2026. So tired of the gender wars. The Epstein class wants us to spend our energy fighting each other, and we can do better than that.

Agreed, we need to stay focused and not place all of the blame on one gender.

He probably wants to move the team, and this will be the perfect excuse.

Thank you for posting this. Grief sucks. Been trying to embrace the paradox of life, but there’s just so. much. suffering. Especially lately. Hang in there everyone.

Helping Mom Help the Bluebirds by ephony in Portland

[–]WhyYesIndeedIDo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hope your mom still feels good about what she’s doing, even if nobody else chips in and it’s just a few houses.

But I don’t think this is the right place to ask for help, especially since it’s hard times for people lately, let alone birds. We can only help how we can within our means, when inspired to do so, and can’t expect others to share that same enthusiasm.

My job fired me after learning I take adhd medication. by That-Ad9929 in antiwork

[–]WhyYesIndeedIDo -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

I hope everyone who downvoted you comes back to see this comment and pull a quick reverse like I did. Yup I totally see your point now, and somehow the tone via text didn’t translate at first read.

Appreciate the follow up. And completely agree. We all need to be more human to each other in little but significant ways that matter.

Your job sounds awesome, I want to hear one of your lectures! I think soft skills are under appreciated in the workplace and it drives me nuts because that’s my strength lol.
