Manager wrote the quiet parts out loud.
My manager wrote this on the bottom of the schedule for this week. I know for sure that changing hours retroactively is illegal, but isn’t the part about cutting hours also retaliation? This manager is crazy and I’ve started to look for new opportunities.
Permission to marry
A photo of the letter my dad sent to his employees in 1965 asking for permission to get married. Carefully phrased to avoid outright asking.
My work is a waste of time
I’m on a night shift where I’ve been assigned to guard a fallen tree. To make sure “no one tries to drive over it.” Cones and barricades are already here. I’d rather be sleeping right now.
The Behind The Bastards Podcast did a 2 parter on Jack Welch the former CEO of General Electric. This man si gle handedly changed the business methodology from Welfare Capitalism to Fuck you Capitalism. I highly suggest you listen to the podcast.
I've only just started listing to the episodes, so I can't give you a synopsis yet, but it's on Jack Welch, who basically destroyed the middle class and made it possible for CEOs to earn 500x the average worker and stripped your working rights away. He also died in 2020, but I don't know where he's buried, which is a shame, because we need more public toilets. Also, excellent podcast.
