US workers take to Reddit seeking a forum to discuss shared dissatisfaction in the workplace
Post-pandemic, there have been shifts in how workers feel towards their work, and these shifts have manifested into trends within the US labor force like quiet quitting and the Great Resignation. In particular, young professionals have been examining their relationship with work. As a result, many workers have taken to the online platform Reddit to share these ideas according to reports of "antiwork" and "act your wage" trending on the site. This reflects the general dissatisfaction many workers are experiencing in the workplace today as well as the desire to seek stress relief and community through online platforms.
