Month: May 2024

I work for a homeware store. Myself and a guy we'll call Larry are the only people in the stockroom and do the heavy, menial shit. Hired me 2 weeks ago to replace Larry who's leaving. He'd been doing this singlehandedly with occasional help from a manager. He apparently kept asking them to hire somebody to help him for the entire 6 months he'd been here and they kept refusing.

The work culture was absolutely horrible at that place. I'm talking about yelling at employees, public shaming, and 1-day brain mesh training. (plus much more) I just couldn't take it anymore, and I worked 5 hours a week, once a week, at minimum wage. It just wasn't worth it. I had multiple people telling me to quit. I waited until the end of my shift and asked her to come to the back with me because, even though the managers at that job seemed to be into exhibition, I wanted to be professional and keep it cool.

I'm suspecting the sharing of this TED talk is not organic and is part of some kind of pysop. Maybe I'm crazy, but it's kind of odd that more than one person has shared the same centrist trash on here. Am I crazy?
