1. Server Main Rules


The main rules of the server will be enforced stringently. https://lemmy.world/


2. No spam or reposts + limit off topic comments


Spamming posts will be removed. Reposts will be removed with the exception of a repost becoming the main hub for discussion on that topic.

Off topic comments that do not pertain to the post at hand may be removed if it is deemed they contribute nothing and/or foster hostility at users. This mostly applies to political and religious debate, but can be applied to other things at the mod’s discretion.


3. Post must have Antiwork/ Work Reform explicitly involved


Post must have Antiwork/Work Reform explicitly involved in some capacity. This can be talking about antiwork, work reform, laws, and ext.


4. Educate don’t attack


No mocking, demeaning, flamebaiting, purposeful antagonizing, trolling, hateful language, false accusation or allegation, or backseat moderating is allowed. Don’t resort to ad hominem attacks against another user or insult other people, examples of violations would be going after the person rather than the stance they take.

If we feel the comment is uncalled for we will remove it. Stay civil and there won’t be problems.


5. No Advertising


Under no circumstance are you allowed to promote or advertise any product or service


6. No factually misleading information


Content that makes claims or implications that can be proven false or misleading will be removed.


7. Headlines


If the title of the post isn’t an original title of the article then the first thing in the body of the post should be an original title written in this format “Original title: {title here}”.


8. Staff Discretion


Staff can take disciplinary action on offenses not listed in the rules when a community member's actions or general conduct creates a negative experience for another player and/or the community.

It is impossible to list every example or variation of the rules. It is also impossible to word everything perfectly. Players are expected to understand the intent of the rules and not attempt to "toe the line" or use loopholes to get around the intent of the rule.


9. No posting links to Twitter/X or Meta owned properties


Social Media products such as Twitter/X and Meta Properties (e.g. Facebook, Instagram, Threads) are known low quality information sources - they actively spread misinformation without sufficient moderation, hate speech. These platforms each have billionaire owners working actively to eliminate labor protections through direct action, lobbying, performative large scale layoffs and attacks on institutions that enforce labor law.

You are not encouraged to do so, but you may post screenshots from these sites IF THE INFORMATION IS NOT AVAILABLE ON ANOTHER VALID PLATFORM. Screenshots must include info to support a relevant conversation within this community and must show a VISIBLE time/date stamp for posterity. If you are caught manipulating content of a screenshot, your post will be removed and you will receive an indefinite ban from this community at the discretion of the moderator(s)

No pass through/archive services are allowed as they potentially feed traffic back to these services, directly or indirectly (e.g. Services like Xcancel or Nitter)

Even if you work at one of the rare unicorns where hard work is rewarded with raises and promotions, hard work has nothing to do with working extra hours. Fuck off with this "You need to be the first one in and last one out" shit.

Not just on the Americas side of the pond, apparently.

I'm applying for dozens and dozens of jobs right now in the UK, so I expect to get plenty of rejection emails, but today, Monday, two days before Christmas, 11 rejection emails so far, which is a record (I'm not upset, I am aware I will get far more rejections than interviews). Obviously people are working like crazy to get everything done right before Christmas, but I thought at least the UK was more relaxed on this stuff. You really couldn't wait until January to send out rejection emails? Gotta grind right up to Christmas?

When you have nothing in you life but your job, are you even living at all? At the very least not a life that is worth living IMHO

[–] pivot_root@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

If you want to play it that way: let me count my 2 hour commute through standstill traffic as paid hours.

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

As it should be. Both directions.

[–] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 8 points 2 months ago

You know thw thing is all the tales of really successful people arent about going to the office early and grinding down some stupid task a superior gave you but about following your dreams and putting effort into those. Quitting your job and taking out a loan to build a racecar or start helping people with pc repair or whatever your dream is, is better advice than putting any effort into something you hate. Its not work ethic but being a mindless slave.

[–] bokherif@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

Yes! Pretend that you feel like this but do your own thing man. Show up to work excited but only do what you’re paid for or what they deserve.

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 months ago

It wants you to be a janitor?

[–] nimble@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 2 months ago

I have work ethic.

If work pays me the bare minimum then i will match them in-kind. It's only fair.

[–] Harvey656@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Side tangent: I hate the term 'nuggets of wisdom. Seriously, only Tenders of Wisdom are much tastier.

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Boneless Thighs of Wisdom

That's my thighdeology.

[–] BilboBargains@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

If by 'wisdom' you mean 'cancer'.

[–] SplashJackson@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 months ago

Lol what a brown noser

[–] GreatBlue@infosec.pub 6 points 2 months ago

I have a work ethic. I guess some people wouldn't like mine, but I have one.

Everytime I see somebody systemically overworking and being proud of it, I think to myself: "how incompetent should he/she be to need to compensate that hard"

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 4 points 2 months ago

Good luck to those wageslaves. I just do the bare minimum, I don't earn extra for going "above and beyond", nor doing so would increase my likelihood of being promoted.

"Work extra hours so that your boss is sure to notice how ready you are to give head."

[–] motor_spirit@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

if the most interesting aspect of a mf is their role at work there's probably zero percent chance I give a fuck about any aspect of their life anyway, opinions certainly included
