Laugh Your Head Off With 21 Of The Best Posts From The Anti-Work Group

Leona Martinez

The "antiwork" forum on Reddit has experienced rapid development since the COVID-19 outbreak and is currently one of the social network's most popular and active pages. More than 2 million people utilize it today, compared to 180,000 in October 2020. The community presents itself as a subreddit for those who want to stop working, are inquisitive about stopping working, want to make the most of life without working, want more knowledge about anti-work concepts, and need individual support with their own employment or work-related issues. The so-called "idlers"—those who remain in employment doing the barest minimum to get by while still receiving a paycheck—are the real heroes, according to the members of the group who post epic text and email screenshots of abandoning their jobs.

The relationship between employees and employers has never been smooth. It's easy to understand why. Each component has a distinct interest. On the one hand, workers frequently gripe that their pay is not equivalent to the effort they put in. The employer, on the other hand, typically views employees as an expense and works to pay them as little as possible. You are mistaken if you believe that the overall development we are seeing will alter that. The problem is not getting better. If you still don't believe it, ask members of the anti-work subreddit. For your convenience, we have compiled a list of 20 of the best posts from this group. Scroll down to check them out for yourself.
