8 Bit Philosophy Tackles the Protestant Work Ethic

There’s not a lot new under the sun here but it’s a cool 101 video that’s short and fun to watch/listen to. The video mostly talks more about the psychological effects of work and its connection to traditional religion.

The Sacrifices We Make for Work

I recently have become increasingly aware of a practice I find somewhat disturbing: specifically the practice of parents routinely allowing babies to cry alone until they fall asleep. While it strikes me as barbaric, it has been described to me as necessary for anyone in the given household to get any sleep. In many homes…

Work so “Flexible” it’ll Break your Back

Just to refresh your memory (or if you’re just getting into the conversation now), last time we talked about work and “time poverty”. We concluded by looking at some possible solutions to this dilemma of workers not having enough time. I posited that it was fairly obvious that giving workers more hours doesn’t actually help…

Work and “Time Poverty”

Last August we discussed a Gallup Poll that determined the obvious: we work more than we’re technically “supposed” to work. The study found based on a summary of the 2013-2014 numbers that Americans are more likely to work an average of forty-seven hours a week instead of the forty hours that is more commonly associated…

Doing Nothing as an Alternative to Something! [Audio Version]

Here’s the presentation I gave at AltExpo #19 during Liberty Forum on March 6th, 2015! The volume gets a little lower a minute into the recording but it should still be audible. Let me know if not though!

The Decline of the “Company Man”

A few months back a Reddit Thread had this headline: Workplace Loyalty is Declining: 69% of Employees Say Looking for New Opportunities is Part of their ‘Regular Routine’ which in turns links to this which links you to a Forbes article about job hopping which takes it’s data from a FastCompany article on “the four-year…

What I’m Really Thinking: The Slacker

Given my penchant for slacking and how I often self-identify as a slacker you might think that I hate this article recently published at The Guardian. You might be guessing that I’m going to criticize or mock it given my low tolerance for people with a “good” work ethic. But rather than commenting on this…

One Step Ahead [Slacker Movie Review]

Given my penchant for slacking I thought it was only appropriate to finally getting around to watching Richard Linklater’s cult classic, Slacker. I wasn’t sure what to expect as I had only heard some details. I only really knew that it was more vignette based and that there wasn’t a singular plot that the movie…

Doing Nothing as an Alternative to Doing Something! [Text Version]

This essay was presented at AltExpo #19 at Liberty Forum 2015. Audio should be coming in the next few days. Introduction My name is Nick Ford and I do a lot of things even though I profess to be a slacker and a lazy good-for-nothing. One of those things is a blog called AbolishWork.com. Some…

A(nother) Huge and Delayed Thanks to David Spencer!

So apparently back in February of 2014 David Spencer, who had this particular article republished elsewhere on this site also had it republished on the Guardian. I have no idea why I never noticed this before but it’s absolutely huge that Abolish Work even got a quick mention on such a big name site. This…
