Like if we all pitched in $1 we could buy 51% of reddit. Or maybe I'm crazy idk.

I am not calling out for a revolution (am I?) BUT guess what, if all the opressed stood up and fought the system, even by being passive – by sabotaging work for a few days to show the bosses just who exactly runs their great lives – there could be changes. If every boss or manager or company owner gave up 1 percent of his profit and instead of spending it on luxuries or giving it to his useless kids or trophy wives – which you might argue would be better for them also because it would reduce their sassiness and spoiled brat mentality by 1 percent (and oh boy if we increase this percentage…) and instead divided it all to greater salaries or bonuses for his workers… that would be a win-win situation. It is absurd how after 20-25 we are never truly free until retirement, and then, when…

So I work as a software developer of industrial systems. I drew the short straw this go around and have to work the 3pm to 1am shift for a deployment. I am out of town for a couple of weeks every deployment. Other teams are out there for a month. I am getting rather concerned with me and some of my coworkers. They're putting us in a high stress/low sleep situation where one wrong move would easily put you in a casket. The harp about safety but yet deprive us of the one thing that keeps us the safest, sleep. It might be worth the risk if we were paid Silicon Valley wages, but we're not.

$12 minimum wage in a highest cost of living state No salary growth Maximum hours you can have a week is 15 hours. No tips No job growth Very much a dead end job. No benefits with a high job expectation that is equivalent to a $17 per hour pay or with tips. Boss didn't train me and left me on my own after 3 days I started and scolded me for not knowimg anything. Boss is not accountable that it was her fault I didn't know anything because I wasn't trained. She threatened to fire me when my mistake was because I didn't know nor even is familiar yet with an app. An that I have attention to detail issue. I don't even know how the app even works because I just started. Lots of gossiping and talking bad about anyone. To the point the manager texted my partner…

Hey guys, I'm in a small company in VIC, Australia and my issue is recently they've basically started to expect that I have 24/7 availability and even though it isn't in my contract, told me they expect me to work on weekends for at least an hour. I want to leave this job – but they've done a lot for me in the time I've been with them so I'm wondering about the best way to go about it… I can either find another job and then just give them 4 weeks notice when I have secured the new job – which seems like a slight 'fuck you' to management – or I can let them know ahead of time as a professional courtesy that I'm going to be moving on from this industry and that I will give my notice when I have secured another position. Is this stupid…

Cant afford food? Well just work an extra 20 hours a month – you will be able to afford plenty then. Getting 2 more Dollars an HOUR? Are you insane? Same goes for kids/a Family or a House or medical care. Its allways work more – never get more.
