Mémoires d’Hadrien
I found this paragraph in the Memoirs of Hadrian very incisive and relevant to this sub. Quick and dirty attempt at an English translation: I doubt that all the philosophy in the world will ever succeed in destroying slavery: at most we will change its name. I can imagine worse forms of servitude than ours, because they are more insidious: either we will succeed in transforming men into dumb and satisfied machines who think themselves free although they're subservient, or we will develop in them, in opposition to leisure and human pleasures, a taste for work as fanatical as the blood lust of warmongering barbarians. […] (Context: Mémoires d'Hadrien was written by Marguerite Yourcenar in the 1950s. The book is a letter written by emperor Hadrian, on his deathbed, to his adoptive grandson Marcus Aurelius. The original autobiography did exist but was lost to history.)

So I work today alone for 5.5 hours, and because I’m alone I technically don’t get a break. On the job we are not allowed to sit or have our phones on us. Okay. Fine, I get it, no technical break, but technically when there’s no customers it can count as a break except I can’t use my phone and I can’t sit.
I’ve spent the last 2 years at an entry level position. The 1 year mark has historically been when promotions to a 2 position are given. I was promised that I would be getting a promotion, but since a merger was taking place but would be delayed a few months. Another year passed and I never got the promotion. Last month I applied for a senior position internally with another team, was given the interviews, and immediately was recommended for the promotion. Now HR is saying that they can give me the senior spot, but can only pay me a 2 salary because a starting senior salary is double what I currently make it “requires ceo approval”, even though if they hired someone new they would be required to pay a starting senior salary. I don’t make enough currently to get a full raise with my promotion. Do I quit…
I was reported by a coworker and ended up having disciplinary action taken against me for saying “I hate God”. Is that not a statement of my own personal religious beliefs, and wouldn't it therefore be protected? It seems similar to if I were a Satanist and said “Hail Satan”, it's a personal statement of religious belief rather than attacking others for their religious beliefs, right? Am I reading too far into this, or is there someone I should reach out to about this?
Deliberately exposing already sick, vulnerable elderly to sick caretakers. What, are they playing “Let's create a super-bug?” Cause like…isn't this how that happens? I've already called everyone I can think of to report it, but no one seems to care…
