I lead a three person department. We had a new hire come in about six months ago, who let slip what his starting wage was. It was 15% higher than my own starting wage, and 5% higher than my other employees current wage. So the other worker put in a five week notice. Guess he was somehow still managing to feel generous. His last day was this past Friday. It was a blow to the department, because this guy performed his job flawlessly. Given that he had put in five weeks notice, I assumed they would have more than enough time to get a replacement hired, and he could be trained by the guy who's been doing this task for the past six years First week, no one comes in for an interview.

Work is not a privilege
American culture has become so completely focused on businesses and their inherent “right” for profit. We have allowed exploitation of workers and destruction to our environment because fair wages and protecting the planet THAT WE LIVE ON are a hindrance to profit. We've been taught to feel fucking BLESSED to have a job, ANY job, and to do whatever is asked of you. And, by God, be fucking GRATEFUL! Here's the thing, though: working for a company is not a privilege. The employee/employer relationship is, technically, a symbiotic relationship. A business has work that they need done, an individual needs money to live. WITHOUT WORKERS, THERE ARE NO BUSINESSES! It's time we remember our power, bring unions back, and fight for what's right.

I just need to rant. These places need help so bad they can't afford to treat their people like dog shit. Yet they don't give a fuck about being constructive or giving praise they're just cold and nitpicky and refuse to listen to anything but absolute agreement. Fuck this work culture I can't get away from. Fuck every ignorant manager who tricked their way into positions they were never qualified for. Because they played the game and gave up their dignity and respect to climb the ladder by kissing ass and licking boot.
