Many people on this sub seem to be in the very early stages of anti-capitalism, and some haven’t even gotten close to that far so let me explain a bit. Small business and small business owners are no more inherently moral than any corporation. The fact that a company only has a couple workers changes nothing if they are being paid shit wages, treated unfairly, and disrespected. Just because a small business owner is not wealthy does not mean that they are not a capitalist. If you are employing people and making a profit off their labor, you are exploiting them. Even if they don’t make absurd amounts of money, that doesn’t mean that that they are excused on all counts. Small business owners are still the owning class, and as such make their money by exploiting the labor of others. There is no inherent different between a multimillion dollar…

I'm too afraid to kill myself but the alternative of working for the rest of my life seems worse. I am not good at anything and I have cheated my way through most of my classes.

I (24F) got hired as a customer service representative at this start-up in the beginning of the year. They have a set schedule for each shift: one for the morning, one for the evenings, and one for the weekend. I have classes in the morning, so I decided to take the evening shift. Around March, I switched therapists and the only available day I found I could attend sessions conflicted with my evening schedule. My therapist provided a Letter of Support to my job requesting for this one day off, and after discussing more with HR they were able to accommodate me for this one day. They also offered me additional shifts to make up the hours. Throughout the next few months, the company started to let more and more people go. Last week, they fired the last person on the night shift other than myself. The following day, HR…
