Why Polyworking Is Popular
Broken economy.
I hear that many people are really passionate about not starving to death.
Whoever came up with the word polyworking deserves to lose teeth, such a genuinely evil thing to think up for genuinely nasty purposes.
Ma'am I'm polyworking my way through quiet quitting so I can save up enough to start land hacking

Remember when polycrisis was getting use to describe how ecological collapse intercepts with pandemics and inequality. So weird how that got dropped like a rock while this gets trotted out.
Remember that time the Washington Post gave Bernie Sanders a bunch of Pinocchios for saying that millions of Americans work multiple jobs, because only eight million do, and "millions" implies ... more than that?
Bureau of Labor Statistics data shows that nearly 8 million people hold more than one job. But most of those extra jobs are part time, not full time. And the “millions” of people amount to just 5 percent of Americans with jobs. So that means 95 percent of workers are not working two or three jobs “just to survive,” making this a misleading statement.
love working my multiple full-time jobs which I do for fun
Polyworking? Who gets paid to come up with this shit
polyworking? Crackkker.
Once again (as with "chronoworking") I am forced to repeat that putting a Greek prefix on a Germanic rootword gives me hyperangst.
Polly want a ?
Personal branding trends for 2024.
I fucking despise whoever decided that the job search process should be just like finding work in Hollywood, that you already need to be famous and in the top .00000000001% before you even begin your career (oh, and have connections out the wazoo just to work at the local McDonald's.)
"How to become a polyworker"
Step 1: Be starving and desperate
Fuck these people. Wall.
what does wall mean (sorry im stupid)
It means the subject of NuraShiny's anger should be put up against a wall and shot
oh EPIC
"popular"
Ah yes just like we "preferred" renting
Where I live the media has gone from talking about "workers" and "employers" to "worktakers" (workers) and "workgivers" (employers)
Sounds reversed, workers are forced to give part of their labour for free to bourgeoisie who take it.
And in Poland media also did it, though "worktaker" didn't caught up, the most used word is "pracownik" (literally worker, but in context more an employee) but workgiver (pracodawca) sadly is commonly used.
Newspeak
If someone says this IRL I will become a "lifetaker"
In this context that would mean you would be giving life, since the "worktakers" are workers, ie the ones giving work (labour) to the workgivers (employers who take work - take labour) and I love that for you
ah yes, whatever would we do without the benevolent work givers being there
How else would we be able to build houses and grow crops? We gotta do something about the greedy worktakers soon tho
and a workforce in search of deeper meaning and joy in their careers.
Also how the hell did our soulless society poison the word joy? The Dadaists continue to be right about everything.
The last months of the Kamala campaign were like:
Oh neat. More corporate horrors being conjured into existence
The way which they massively overuse bullet points and single paragraph sections , omg its so obviously AI its sad.
Kind of shocking to see this from a huge msm site like this because it reads worse than some random wordpress blog post from 2008 about [insert trending hobby here]. Its not just obviously AI, its made and edited by someone that quite clearly doesn't give a shit too. AI is shit but you can get chatgpt to tell you something that isn't 20 paragraphs and 2 bullet point sections.
And they have the audacity to call us "lazy". Hell, they even have the audacity to call us "misanthropic".
Is this what reactionaryism feels like? Am I the reactionary now?
Even the comments on the site picked up on that, and all of them are dragging it over that and the 'polyworking' lmao
You know it's bad when Forbes' own subscribers are treating it like the rancid trash it is
America needs less polyworking and more polytwerking!

Gotta have high high hopes for a living!
This is the same hustle culture, grindset that we are constantly exposed to, to hide the fact that we have to struggle even harder to survive. The insidious part is its designed to make us feel lazy and worthless if we don't work ourselves to death.
The /r/overemployed sub is hilarious lmao.
"Yeah I work 3 jobs to get out of debt and purchase a home, while still funding my retirement, I feel like I'm cheating the system!"
Brother... a single union (good) union job should do all of that.
Death to America
I've never had a job respect my scheduling limits, so I do know how people do this.
Polyworking? More like prollyworking, since they have to juggle so many jobs and responsibilities across so many different employers that if you wonder what they're up to right now you already know that they're prolly working.
this guy used ChatGPT to help him write this article.
AI is the other members of my polyworkcule

Of course it's from fucking Forbes...
