Have you ever felt like you’re wasting your single, precious life, doing a job you hate? Right now, millions of US workers are quitting their jobs in the Great Resignation, after the Covid-19 pandemic sparked a mass re-evaluation of priorities. Onscreen, we've seen "anti-work" characters riot against unlivable working conditions, challenge irresponsible companies that care only only for profit, and call out parasitic consumer-culture. By revealing the evils of a system based on capital, these characters send the message that they won't give up their principles or identity for the workplace.
