I think the r/antiwork mindset of “no loyalty, no social connections, no extra effort, no two-weeks notice, work only work the wage” only applies when you’re working for a job that treats you like shit. If you have a half-decent employer you should provide some loyalty and extra effort when necessary or you’re a garbage employee. If you have a good career and you get a bad employer you can just leave.

The context with r/antiwork is that many of these people are in extremely toxic workplaces but need money because they’re very poor. It's a free-for-all, "take advantage of" or "be taken advantage of". And that most of the submissions are probably fake dystopia rage-bait.

It seems to be axiomatic there that all employers deserve this treatment. Literally, "all", there is no wiggle room for any company or manager.

My concern is the bleedover into /r/jobs where I like to answer with advice on how to handle a situation/search/interview.
