On the r/antiwork subreddit, people post memes and experiences about work-related depression and anxiety, tyrannical bosses, the interminable grind of living paycheck-to-paycheck, and strategies for reclaiming time from a job, unionizing, or quitting.

During the pandemic, the r/antiwork subreddit exploded in popularity. It grew from 76,000 to 1,019,000 subscribers between January 2020 to November 2021 and has quadrupled in size since September, coinciding with a period of heightened labor militancy in the United States. It ranks 10th among all subreddits worldwide in terms of comments per day.
