How we can start winning with mega corporations

Most brands are owned by one of a very few number of companies. They use people to work for one of their companies and everyone else has to pay in to something. So you see, they can never lose… Unless we stop working and buying into it, because it hasn't been making us happy working for them or buying into their BS.

Job offer for oddly specific adult men (but asking their parents?) without disclosing the “extremely fair pay” even when asked. Sexist, ageist, strange, and abusive comments from “employer”. The majority of other comments defended him, many offering up their teen children to him.

My new manager who I had to train has been threatening to lower my hours any time I complain about anything. So I made a new google account and wrote a bad review about her and a bad review to corporate.

Literally it was so busy yesterday at work I told her can we please put one extra person on Saturday for just 3-4 hours to help out because some of the kids I work with our in high school and I totally understand they want they’re lunch and stuff but it was none stop busy for 8 hours I texted her and she said well we can hire someone new and cut hours for “everyone” which means just me.

I wish the truckers would actually protest for something real. Their jobs will be automated within our lifetime. They are still making a fraction of what they were making 40 years ago. Housing is still unaffordable for the vast majority of workers. Education is more expensive than ever. Their children’s futures are being stollen right underneath them. Even if you don’t think climate change is that bad, hunters and fisherman can see the immediate negative changes that are happening right in front of them. They still can’t smoke cannabis on vacation or on weekends, even though they live in a legal country (or at least American truckers can’t.) Yet there are shutting things over wearing a mask and public health policies. I think what they are doing is better than nothing like Americans have been doing since Occupy, but the reason behind it is minimal in importance compared to housing,…
