Interest is commonly expressed on r/antiwork for a general strike in the US. My previous post encouraged everyone interested to listen to a discussion on the subject between academic Richard Wolff and activists Moneyless Society. The full discussion was released in two parts, the latter only earlier today. If you have interest, please try to listen to as much of the discussion as possible. The first part was released a few days ago.
I feel like I should report this to someone. We’ve hired several new people lately who’ve all said they were told they’d be making $18/hr. I checked the Indeed to make sure. We are supplemented income with tips, but it is absolutely nowhere near an extra $10/hr.
Why do I have to make an account for every single job I apply to? What kind of bullshit is that? Just let me send you my resume
Managers using company resources to keep other managers 'sweet' despite no business case is surely misappropriation of company resources? Why must they keep a particular low middle level manager 'sweet'? All they're doing is spending resources on managers who shout the loudest. Surely it must be about using resources to enhance shareholder value?
40 years ago, a relative worked at a candle making factory. The expectation of the workers was to make 6 batches per day. A few weeks before Christmas, the boss asked kindly if he and his coworker would work a harder during the holiday and make 10 batches per day with no extra pay or extra hours. They ran and accomplished the goal for those few weeks. After the new year, the boss asked the two guys why they were only making 6 batches per day, and they responded that they were doing the boss a favor during the busy season. The boss THEN expected 10 batches per day from those guys. Well, as everyone reading probably guesses, that was both of their last day at the candle factory. Labor exploitation isn't anything new. Don't overwork yourself at a job that doesn't compensate appropriately.
Title pretty explains my situation. I’m in Europe btw and the country I moved to currently has an insane housing crisis, like you literally have a really have a hard time with it. Workplace found me a place but I’m probably not going to take the place because I don’t want to be tied to a employer that has leverage over me because working at that is already chaos. I have some friends that I can crash invase I don’t have any housing.
