Nyx. Her children are all the personifications of various negative aspects of life. I‘ve got a bit of a pessimistic attitude. Just seems fitting.

I‘m sorry but…girlboss and hustle culture? I only remember “YOLO” and “treat yo self” financial habits. Do I have to turn in my millenial membership card somewhere now?

Humanity sucks. Destroys ecosystems. Feel hopeless.

I went to Reddit for the first time this month to speak up in a relevant thread about it and got a bunch of tone deaf replies about they‘d rather join Threads cause “its popular and you sound like crypto bros with the decentralised stuff” and also some “Lemmy was made by tankies” and so on.

You know what, I don‘t care, don‘t want these short sighted people here, let them get screwed a few more times by the corpos if they enjoy it so much.

Close, I moved to a smaller and cheaper apartment and reduced some other costs, then I found a job where I work 30h a week.

Each month when I get my wage now I think “I bought this time and I best make use of it” and so it changed my mindset to one where I enjoy my free time a bit more, maybe cause I‘m aware of the price I pay for it.

10h a week of my life back. It cost me about 500€ a month, but it improved my mental health immensely.

Wow thanks for posting, what a read. I suspected average employees would not like what is going on.

I can relate, up until recently I was in a company whose product and decisions I strongly disliked and browsing r/antiwork like wild to cope. I was close to burnout due to the mismanagement and work heaped on me.

Until eventually something in me snapped and I went and found a better job. Is everything good here? God no, but my current manager is nice and my workload more manageable for now and I learned I have options if it grows unmanageable again, a lot of options actually.

So thanks for those who keep posting to move on as well, it‘s a bit repetitive and perhaps obvious, but useful nonetheless for those who don‘t see it yet.

Though if one loves the product and coworkers and work and the main shit thing is the management, maybe a union would be the more useful solution. It‘s a good way to influence some of these decisions, perhaps what makes my current employer better is the presence of a union.

I don‘t know about economics, but this is my entry to research:

And cucumber prices went up more than 50% for me in the last 2 years alone, so maybe you‘re onto something.

Glad to see this sub is here too now, a lot of other places don‘t like my negative worldview at all.

What‘s the community?

I‘m new too and on kbin and gotta say, I don‘t even know where I am half the time, but excited to be here anyway.

I‘ve already heard multiple people say they just roll back any edits and deletes.
