Inside the rise of 'antiwork,' a worker's strike that wants to turn the labor shortage into a new American Dream
The stories of those in the antiwork movement provide some answers to why there's an ongoing labor shortage. Whether bosses realize it or not, workers are effectively striking for better conditions — and it might just work.The Reddit group"r/antiwork" has garnered a million followers since it first began in 2013; half of these joined just in October 2021 alone. That means that tens of thousands of people — if not more — visit the group daily.
Kade, a Gen Z worker in Kansas, is one of the people who turned to r/antiwork and posted after he quit his job as a service worker. He had been considering quitting for a while, but he was pushed over the edge after his bosstelling workers they couldn't use their phones during shifts — and, if they were caught with their phones, management could confiscate them.
"I think it felt like I could be like a bigger part of a movement," Kade said."I didn't want to put up with this stuff."
