The antiwork movement WANTS to work

Then they need to find a new slogan. Because that is literally the complete opposite of the movement that's been labeled and the person/people who thought this up must have been trolling. You are sending the wrong message and you're going to be dismissed without a second thought, just as it has been here.

I have to admit, you're right about that. The term anti work has exactly the connotation you're saying, and leads to these types of annoying conversations in attempt to explain it, rather than talking about the real issues like poor working conditions, low pay, long hours, and extremely one sided power balances.
