The greatest antiwork thread ever by Mysterio 12/28/2021, 11:33am PST
The mods at reddit.com/r/antiwork deleted it but here it is in all its glory.

Original thread started by u/iambeaker which has not been deleted>


I was brainwashed at an early age that loyalty and hard work would add countless “0’s” to your paycheck. I remained optimistic after receiving year after year of 3% raises and working holidays. I missed my children’s first steps, their school functions, and other life events so I could make the CEO more money.

After the passing of my stepfather and my boss calling me during the funeral, asking me to troubleshoot an issue while my mom cried into my shoulder, enough was enough. I changed companies and made a personal pledge to put family first and my career a distant third or fourth.

Fast forward to present day…. I find myself as the cornerstone of our department. Many of our clients’ processes are automated through custom API developed by me. I have maintained a thorough documentation library on how to support the API, the reports, and all of its dependencies. I have offered to train backup so we are not single threaded. My manager told me “No way, we would never do anything to lose you!” Up to now, life was good.

At the beginning of December, ABC Company was audited by the government and found to be out of compliance. They hired my company to regain their compliance by the end of the year or risk fines near $750,000. ABC Company dragged their feet getting us the information we needed to start on the work.

I save my vacation days so I can take the week between Christmas and New Years off. I spend it with my kids to make up for all the time I lost when I worked when they were younger. This time is very precious to me.

Last week and this week, I have been notifying the project manager and my manager about my time off. I let them know I would need ABC Company’s information soon so I can start on it. I offered to work extra hours to ensure my piece would be finished prior to Christmas Eve.

On Tuesday, my manager calls me and tells me ABC Company finally sent the data over I requested over two weeks ago. He looked beaten because he knew what was about to happen. I told him who should I walk through the project with because I’m off after Christmas. My manager says, “I’m sorry. But I have to ask you to work. I declined your time next week.”

I asked, “What happens to my vacation time?” My boss says, “I’m sorry. You know the rules. Use it or lose it. I fought for you but HR wouldn’t budge.”

I drafted my resignation letter after the call, set it to delay delivery on Monday at 8am, and closed up shop.

ABC Company will pay $700,00 because nobody knows how to program that system since there is no back up. Our other clients will be expecting their monthly, quarterly, and annual reports within the first week of January. No one knows how to do this. We had six projects in progress involving extensive API and reporting, now those projects are dead in the water. Seven clients prepaid for API and automation upgrades in 2022 Q1. I don’t know what will happen to those.

Please remember. Family first. You never get that time back.


And then the update from Monday, December 27th, 2021. At this point the manager has received the resignation email and knows he is in deep shit:
