Minneapolis teachers and support staff are on strike.

Blizzard a company who revolutionized the videogame industry making game by passion and creativity became corrupt and one of the worst game company when Activison came in and start pushing profit on short term. Literally destructing years of creation and work (looking at you warcraft reforged), making the work environments hostile (see recent scandal) and laying off hundreds of competent developpers and not listening to everybody saying they were doing shit to exploit games that made our childhood. it's terrible to see that the one percent still keep destructing everything they touch : our planet, work environments, hobbies and passion just for a money they don't need. Rent over

What do you call someone who accumulates an excessive amount of something, more than they would ever reasonably want or need, and is highly resistant to decreasing their supply of it? A hoarder. And that's what billionaires are: hoarders of money. On the surface, this sounds preposterous; after all, how can one ever have TOO MUCH money? Such an assumption is largely due to human civilization developing currency, replacing commodities, livestock, and precious metals with money as our main store of value. But money isn't inherently valuable, and so it doesn't get to avoid being a “hoardable” item. Think about this: the average person makes $1.7 million throughout their entire life.

These are just the indirect benefits of my job. I'm not even going to start on the actual financial benefits package I received for working here. Why would I ever go back to a physical office?

Like the title says I’m a manager in retail and reading all these posts has made me aware of how my actions and management style are harmful to my employees. I thought my actions were noble, but after reading posts on this sub I’m now aware that I was a selfish and ignorant asshole to my employees. I’ve tried to write my wrongs by individually apologizing to each one of my employees, assuring them that I am going to consider their feelings in future management decisions. Thank you to everybody for posting about their experiences, it has really opened my eyes. I hope that I can have the same impact on other managers in the workforce.
