The Cost Of Working: 24 Posts About Wages, Rent And Workplace Inequality

Life sometimes doesn’t seem fair at times, and it takes a lot of effort to achieve something that even remotely resembles justice at work. It sounds very difficult to do, especially in the context of massively rapidly rising costs of buying gas and food and mushrooming rent prices. And wages are failing to keep pace with inflation despite having risen quite a bit over the past year, too.

Many employees feel that unfairness is ripe in the workplace, and it’s practically dystopian how some companies treat their workers. To vent and share their thoughts about the current state of the job industry, some go to the ‘Anti-Work’ Facebook group (unrelated to the r/antiwork subreddit, but there’s an overlap in their outlook) which showcases the dark side of capitalism.

We’ve collected some of their most powerful recent posts to show you just how bad things can get, and why it’s necessary to fight for workers’ rights. Scroll down to take a peek at the dystopia some people are living in. Meanwhile, be sure to check out what Bored Panda learned about the ‘right’ way to quit a job with financial expert Sam Dogen, the author of ‘Buy This, Not That: How to Spend Your Way to Wealth and Freedom’ and the founder of the Financial Samurai blog.
