We both know the only reason they are coming back is because they want to control and micro-manage us. Their excuse “we want you to collaborate with your colleagues” is BS. I’m in Canada, and many companies are pushing for their workers to work at the office 2 days a week at the very least. I also live in one of the most unaffordable cities in the country, where an average home costs around $1 million USD. Many moved away from the city during Covid because it was their only chance to afford a home and start a family. The bottom line is: most of us don’t want to commute 2 hours one way. Even though I live closer to work than that, I can see my colleagues’ frustration. Is there a way to fight back without getting blacklisted or fired? I mean, I don’t want to start a strike…

I have always had the anti-work mindset but haven't really been able to find away to live happily and still manage to live free and the way I want to live my life. My main goal in life and biggest dream I guess you could say is traveling. I would absolutely love to travel the world and explore this massive place that we live on and considering the average person only gets to see 7% of the world in their lifetime I do not want to fall down a path like that and only getting stuck seeing the world from my office or my apartment's windows. So what would you all recommend I do to start working my way toward my goal because where I'm at right now is stuck in college for a degree I don't even want but I have to do it so my parents stop bugging…

Many people in the comments have pointed out a few problems with that strategy, mainly that it would affect low income people the most. I believe they are correct in this sentiment. I also believe the people who pointed out the unions would have to join the movement if it were to pick up steam. ​ The post calls for a 10 day work strike. If that were to actually happen, it would be very effective. But the post also states “no consuming unless absolutely necessary such as groceries”. That sentence is my main issue with the post. Do you think companies give a shit so long as you continue to purchase their products? Would they care if you stock up before the 10 days and then don't purchase during then anyway? ​ Anyway, here is my recommendation if this were to continue. ​ Those of you on this sub,…

I've mentioned this in a few threads over the past couple weeks but I think it's worth drawing attention to it directly. A lot of the problems with corporate greed in the US can be directly traced to Dodge v Ford Motor Co. A business corporation is organized and carried on primarily for the profit of the stockholders. The powers of the directors are to be employed for that end. The discretion of directors is to be exercised in the choice of means to attain that end, and does not extend to a change in the end itself, to the reduction of profits, or to the non-distribution of profits among stockholders in order to devote them to other purposes… It is literally illegal for corporate officers, directors, etc. to act in ways that reduce profits for shareholders. Anything done for social good, improving the lives of workers and customers, or…

Supposed to have it in projects lasting longer than 3 days i have heard is the rule here. I joked with my coworker we should go on a strike but were not actually gonna do anything but wait and go home early because we skip break. Why people including me never make demands against bosses to have what is our right? I could be such a pain for them if i always insisted on doing things right and to follow safety rules
