I had the misfortune of working in retail during black Friday once . They wanted me doing restocking , but I volunteered for door duty and line forming because I had crowd control training . That shit worked , everyone was calm and smooth . Maybe I just got lucky though P <| sep |> We are number one ! Ha ha ha . Now look at this net that I just found ! <| sep |> This is totally inaccurate . The review describes a critique of our particular economic system , a system which is historically contingent and unique to our particular time and culture . The features of work discusses mechanization , dehumanization , the absorption of free time by career are not intrinsically necessary to wealth production . I don ' t understand who you can read a description of how a steelworker hates his job because he is known as a number and doesn ' t have any autonomy or respect and interpret that as there shouldn ' t be steelworkers , steel should be generated ex nihilo . Your assessment is a straw man . In direct contradiction to your characterization , the reviewer notes that the book omits any discussion of the practicality of the antiwork critique and the books discusses productive individuals who opt to work for less rather than engage in all consuming professional jobs .
