Month: April 2022

It seems to me that this once important movement has simply become an echo-chamber for people who want to do whatever the fuck they want at work and being told “no” is enough to send them on a vengeful online rampage. I'm not a manager but some of the shit you people complain about wouldn't stand in my workplace if I was either. The hottest post right now is a poster telling staff that turning up on your days off and standing behind tills and counters without uniform and distracting clocked-in employees, is unacceptable. I don't see how this is a bad thing? You're making the place look unprofessional by walking around in staff areas without looking like a staff member, distracting on-the-clock employees and just generally getting in the way? Hanging around food prep areas when you don't need to be there is also a health concern. The poster…

It isn't what I expected so I dread going in most days, and I've started taking it out on myself (self medicating with weed and alcohol, not caring about my well-being, etc).

I have a chunk of change saved up, and I live at home so I don't have to worry much about big bills, just some foodstuffs, gas, and my student loans. I also have…

I'm posting this here cause I know everyone here will understand. We all complain about baby boomers believe work needs to be reformed. But what about those select idiots in the millennial generation and younger who were groomed by capitalists? I mean generation doesn't mugger here in this case. A party up for vote is offering a 4 day work week but still at 40 hours. 4, 10 hour days. I dont want 10 hour days as a standard it's ridiculous. But anyways my point is anywhere I'd post about a 32 – 30 hour work week these guys have an excuse as to why working this long is so important or some shotty comment like it can't be figured out. “We'd have to take a 20% pay cut so no” “Why not increase wage by 20% above a living wage? You would rather 20% less life to live for…
