Month: July 2023

I see this far too often that some of want change and are ready to fight for it, but only through peaceful measures. That isn't possible We are not only enslaved by wages and lack of rights, but are told to do things peacefully while they destroy the Earth, separate families, poison our food, hoard housing etc etc etc the list of misdeeds under capitalism is too long. How can you peacefully protest and wait every other year to “vote smarter”? How many petitions do we need to sign so we can have economic freedom? It's clear. They don't want us to have shit. It's easier to keep us oppressed when we're not burning down their city-blocks worth of residential property they don't live in, or us collectively striking on work or labor. It's too easy to bully the kid who's told to just ignore them We have to fight…

This is just a little rant about my awfully low paycheck this month. We have a different currency, so it's gonna be higher number, but in reality it's smaller (1€= 23 of my currency). So, my base is 35,000 and 29,000 is what I normally gets after taxes. That's my base. This month I have 50 hours overtime from on-call shifts (getting 1/3 of my normal hour rate while on-call). I went on work trip to two countries (over 4K kilometres with car. Each trip I drove 16 hours in total) One of the trip wasn't even planned. I just went to work and was told I am goin on trip. I was gone 5 days (2 and 3) And my pay? I was expecting 38K and today I have received only 31,000. That's about 75$ for extra 50 hours of work and 5 days of driving…. And this month…

I just started working for this company that hired me to be their bar manager. They are trying to be a different type of restaurant and bar then what we have in the area. My issues aren’t just with how they are handling tipping, but this is where I will start. So for instance “tipping” isn’t encouraged but “allowed”. We have one of the paragraphs at the bottom of our menu that states “we pay a living wage and blah blah blah this is why everything is expensive.” My bartenders and bar backs were asking about the tips because they regularly see 2 big ass beer steins full of money, yet are being told “tips are split”. The cash tips are all taken by my bosses to be split up and the credit card tips too. My thing is the TAXES for credit card tips and how can the be…

Graduated in 2013 and never really got around to going to post secondary. I Worked odd jobs at min wage instead. At the time i was unsure what i wanted and diddnt want to sign for debt when i diddnt know. But as time went it became very clear bery quickly how much of a racket post secondary was already and how bad its gotten since. All of my friends. Every one. Has debt, hundreds of dollars eating at their account every month. But were all working the same jobs. Were all stuck at minimum wage. There degree got them exactly as far as i did. But im debt free. The actual freedom that comes with a stationary bank account is so nice. I have no commitments. My money is my money, i pay my chunk of the rent and the rest of my meager pay covers the bread and…

I'll start. I was told I need a personality adjustment because I wouldn't let a man take his dog somewhere dogs are traditionally not allowed.
