Blocked and Reported podcast ep. 102… thoughts?

I see posts from this subreddit in /All frequently, and I generally like what you have to say. A recent episode of one of my favorite podcasts, Blocked and Reported with Katie Herzog and Jesse Singal, had a segment about some Fox News interview with an antiwork mod named Doreen that seemed to paint this sub in an unfavorable light. The general take of the hosts was that this sub was started by people with more a extreme/fringe antiwork ideology, but was eventually gentrified by “normies” with more palatable ideas about what constitutes fair employer-employee relationships. Apparently Doreen was a holdover from the earlier, more extreme type. Did anyone here listen to this episode? Even if you don't know about the podcast, I'd be curious to hear your thoughts on the current state of this sub vs how it was conceived, or your thoughts on how it is perceived by…

Promoted a month ago – just received my 3.8% increase. My company had its best ever sales year…

I’m just here to vent because I’m pissed. I received the same $ amount last year after a shitty sales year and no promotion… I’m pretty pivotal to sales and the % over goal is a direct reflection of my work. Been with these guys for 6 years…. Genuinely hurt by this shaft.

David’s Bridal $11/hr

David's Bridal overstaffs their shifts on purpose “in case someone gets sick or quits” but when we all get dressed in their strict dress code and drive all the way into work, we are told to leave because they over scheduled. So I don't even get my $11/hr. Our commissions on sales sometimes go to other people because of management favoritism and because management fosters a sense of competition to make staff climb over each other to claim a sale

Rejected a job offer today

Company wanted to pay me overtime after 50, I insisted that it would be ideal for me to get overtime after 40. This was a trucking position driving tractor trailers on a graveyard shift. Hiring manager insisted that overtime after 50 was fair and competitive in the trucking industry. I knew that I would be missing out on a lot of money because it was 50-55 hours a week and they're just doing that to save the company money. I know my worth and I denied the offer

Downfall: The Case Against Boeing

I have to assume that everyone following this subreddit hates major corporations. If you do recommend that you watch and also do not watch Downfall: The Case Against Boeing on Netflix. Spending 90+ minutes hearing all about how a major corporation gave literally gave no fucks about human lives and only cared about stock prices and profits is infuriating!!!!
