Meatpackers hyped ‘baseless’ shortage to keep plants open despite COVID risks

Work until you die — literally, which is what the meat packing plants did with their employees who caught, and died from COVID. They were then replaced with new employees who worked, caught COVID, and died. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2022/05/12/meatpackers-covid-deaths-trump-industry/

My hometown is absolutely insane. As much physical labor if not more than an Amazon employee and CDL preferred… FOR $12 an hour!!!

I quit today.. in my first week.

I did that.. I felt utterly miserable there. I know it is a dumb decision financially. I know I should just suck things up but it was awful.

Elon musk is so out of touch.

https://news.yahoo.com/elon-musk-says-americans-trying-152047925.html “Whenever they felt pain, I wanted mine to be worse.” Umm or you could just improve working conditions instead of acting like a self righteous martyr…

We should stop blaming workers for the Great Resignation–and start looking at the jobs they’re leaving

My company says they spent $80,000,000 on pay increases last year.

They neglected to mention that $9,327,335 (over 11.5%) of that increase went to five people(an average raise of over 30%). That leaves $1,766 for each of the remaining 40,000 employees. Of course most of those employees didn’t see a dime because they don’t believe in increased pay just because you’ve given an extra year of your life to the company. The median employee pay went up almost 4% which is sadly much better than the last several years. Class warfare is real, but it’s not minimum wage earners vs people making 50-200k per year. Or at least it shouldn’t be. Someone making 200k has more in common with a part time dishwasher than a CEO at a large company. The lowest executive RAISE at my company last year was almost $500,000; do you think he could make it on $200k?

Well, since wage theft is the most damaging crime in this country, maybe those cameras need to be placed in the corporate offices.
