Even a diagnosed bipolar woman started telling me my depression should not really affect my work.

I'm tired of people.

I feel the antiwork movement is starting to become the shelter of people with depression who are not being treated like they have a handicap.

I'm glad I don't have a career, because my health would have crashed of I had one.




I don't think it helps that working a lot of jobs it feels like I've had a negative contribution to human well-being and ecology. I cannot think of a large successful private company that is a net positive to society.


Honestly, if you travel around a bit as consultant, you don't even need to dig to know a "companys crimes". Just sit in the canteen and talk with some. The employee neurosis tells you all about it.

Lots of vegan activism - grows animals on farms or trades in that sector.

Pro-Peace and cultural sector activism. Produces weapons.

Greenpeace? Usually chemical dumps or other environment damage.

Virulent Patriotism? Usually exploits cheap labor & conditions abroad.

List goes on.

The more desperate the cooperate souls peddling their convictions to "outside strangers", the more morally rotten the business usually is.

Just a observation.


This is one of the primary reasons I'm disgusted with private industry. It's BS, pointless at best and harmful at worst purely to make a couple people rich on the backs of others
