Slackers of the world, reject your protestant work ethic!

I wanted to make this post because sainte mère de dieu you guys can't imagine what shit is going on here in France, especially since the retirement reform. TL;DR : This Is the biggest social movement in France since one century, AMA So if you don't know, Macron is the “centrist” candidate that has been reelected last May against the far right party. It is important to know that in november 2018, the second year of his first mandate, a movement has formed, the yellow vests, independantly of any party or union, and progressively became a violent movement against him, forcing him to make concessions. If he was reelected in 2022, for the first time of the fifth republic no absolute majority has been formed in the low chamber, which is divided between the radical left coalition, the government, the center right and the far right. So, in the early…

I am looking for a few people interested in being at the forefront of starting a movement to work towards the common goals oft stated in this forum. Corruption and oligarchs have essentially turned the USA into a glorified feudal system and the majority of workers could easily be compared to indentured servants. While I don't believe many exist in this subreddit, I'm not looking for the “get something for nothing crowd”. Most of us want fair compensation for our labor and our tax dollars to work for us rather than being given to corporations and the military industrial complex. I have laid some groundwork and have 2 friends involved with me, but I believe we need a larger inner circle to get this going. At this point no information has been made public, but I will happily send information to those interested. Once launched, everything we do will be…

I’ve worked in this particular restaurant for about a year. It’s described as “casual upscale dining.” Last summer was easily the most profitable 3 month span I’ve ever had in the dining industry, and I was very much looking forward to this summer. We tend to have 7-10 “large parties” per shift on the weekends consisting of 10+ guests per table. At 10 guests an automatic gratuity is added at 20%. Now, there has always been an automatic tip out of 5.5% of your sales which translates to a 14.5% tip. On a $300 bill, which is quite common, you walk away with $45 For about 1.5 hours of work ( while handling perhaps another 2-3 tables in addition) it makes for a solid payday overall. The new policy which was instituted about a month and a half ago requires that any parties over 12 must be split between two…

I used to have an extra $50 a month towards my phone bill. I also had/have a company phone. Last week my employer changed my job title/description and also decided to take out the $50 because I “don’t really need it” if I have a company phone. Thing is, none of us really use our phones and any calls I do make are from my personal phone anyway because the other phone has had issues. Im also an idiot cuz I let her talk me into agreeing to this by accident. I want the $50 back and I’m really upset.
