Things are different now, we can’t just raid a castle and steal the gold. How do people actually unite and fight back in a digital age? I’m interested in what an organized movement would look like. I’m a fan of dialogue, but it seems like dialogue is more effective when the next step is in the table… I just don’t know what that next step would be. Storming an amazon warehouse or Bezo’s super yacht wouldn’t accomplish anything
I'm preparing myself for a bazillion downvotes and angry messages, but I feel I need to post this at least once in this sub. I've been (mostly) lurking in this sub for a while now. I'm seeing an alarming increase in the amount of posts of people patting themselves on the back for being absolute jackwagons to the recruiters they're speaking to if the recruiter doesn't offer pay information up front. Or just generally shitting all over recruiters they have to talk to in order to find work. Yes, I understand that it's frustrating to talk to someone who gives you awful, vague answers. But it's frustrating for recruiters, too. In most companies, recruiters are just the messenger for policies they often don't agree with. It's only just in the last couple years that *some* companies are treating recruiting like partners instead of tools. We're told not to discuss ranges…
Have a meeting with my toxic manager and our HR today. Most of our team is looking for new work because of the toxic positivity and pressure from our manager. Manager has what basically boils down to a no friendship rule in the workplace between colleagues and has vaguely threatened me before because I am friends with a colleague from before working there. When asking “how are you” no one is allowed to reply with anything less than “great!” On Thursday during our 'motivation' meeting, we were all told that our best isn't good enough. My colleague and friend when asking for a Friday afternoon off to go to a funeral was asked “why would you want to go to a funeral” and told “this conversation is making me feel like vomiting”. Another colleague was given extra-curricular work to read 10 pages of a self-help book every day (sourced at…
that's it.

A few years ago I worked in a shop. We had always been given cash bonuses at Christmas, often $500 or so. The year in question they’d made a huge profit increase, they kept saying they were so impressed with our work and hoped we would be working even harder next year (slap in the face as we had been overworked already). They chose this year to scrap the cash bonus and they gave us shares in the business. We weren’t allowed to sell these shares for a number of years and we lost them all together if we quit within 2 years. They were valued at about $200, they said having even more interest in the company will get us working harder. It seemed to go from ‘congrats on the hard work, here’s a bonus’ to ‘thanks, work harder next year though please’ Didn’t think much of this at…
A 6 mile delivery and a $65 order, hand written $0 tip on the credit card slip, as I walked away, I flipped off the Ring camera. Fuck your 5116 Sagebrush.
