I asked, “What tactics are used to convince workers that a union is against their interests?” It's response was this: There are several tactics that have been used historically to convince workers that a union is against their interests. Here are a few examples: Fearmongering: Employers may use scare tactics to convince workers that unionization will lead to job losses, reduced benefits, or even the closure of the company.

What happens if you refuse and they then ask you to resign or terminate you, can you still collect unemployment if you refuse to resign and basically force them to fire you? No formal wfh agreements. Was supposed to be temporary but then they said hybrid will always be an option. They they changed thier minds and said no nevermind everyone has to come.back. Then they agreed to 2 days wfh per week. Now afraid they're going to draw a line in the sand about 5 days in office. Idiots have no idea what they're doing. I'm in Ohio
I have a supervisor who I love to work with. She's the kind who stands up for her team against others, she's direct, there's no bullshit, and she is a joy to talk to. And she genuinely cares about her team. She has real mom energy. I found out today that in the past few years, she has had interviews with two different companies that we work closely with. Her boss's boss stepped in and convinced both companies not to hire her because she's too irreplaceable. The worse thing is they brought on someone with less experience, less seniority, and a higher salary at her same level. The new guy is extremely valuable, don't get me wrong, but she deserves better. How do you just fuck someone like that?
“The person who makes the biggest difference in your day-to-day work life isn't the CEO, who probably isn't aware of your existence. It's your immediate boss, who knows to go easy on you right now because your marriage is falling apart, who tailors their feedback to you in a way that makes you open to change, and who reshapes assignments from higher-ups so they match your strengths and ambitions.” Literally never in my life have had a manager who did any of this. The only thing true about the sentiment is that middle managers have always been the ones to make the biggest difference in just how miserable the job is for me. On a scale of bad to miserable.
