Heard this performance last week of a golden song called 'Working class hero' written by John Lennon. It's basically this sub packed in one song. Even though these lyrics are over 50 years old, it is probably still as relevant now as it was back then… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uILegU-9vwc
This doesn't fit exactly in r/antiwork, but I figured the disconnect of the company would be interesting for discourse. So, I found an ad on Reddit that proudly stated Kohl's in donating $100k to the National Urban League and “dropping a new collection” for Black History Month. Then, I read this from bizjournals.com: “Kohl's (NYSE: KSS) paid Gass a bonus of $939,422, as well as incentive pay of $1.57 million. All-in, including her stock awards, Gass earned $12.86 million in 2020, up from $8.98 million in 2019.” How does everyone else feel about this “philanthropy?”
If they ask why…. You can respond, “because I’m not. Thank you, have a good day.” CLICK If you’re ill mentally or physically while on the job and need to go home you can say…. “I can’t finish the rest of the day and I have to leave.” When they try to guilt you because they’re under staffed or busy, remember that’s not your problem. Your health is. If you don’t give an excuse/reason they can’t gaslight you if you say I’ll talk to you tomorrow about this matter and leave. If you can get someone to cover your shift then that’s helpful but if you can’t don’t hold that guilt ok. Even when billy bob says he works while he’s sick. Your coworkers will be fine tomorrow even if they choose to feel any other way.
