> An idea that's become increasingly popular in my extended social circles at major tech companies is that one should avoid doing work and waste as much time as possible, often called "antiwork", which seems like a natural extension of "tryhard" becoming an insult. The reason given is often something like, work mainly enriches upper management at your employer and/or shareholders, who are generally richer than you.
If you really are not comfortable with the consequences of your personal labor you should probably leave your job or not take it in the first place. This sounds like a decadent rationalization for highly compensated people that want to feel moral while being lazy.
