Quitting in the morning
Tomorrow when I get into work I'm going to send a couple people messages about how much I've appreciated them and then I am sending my manager my resignation effective immediately. Thanks for the .14 cent raise. New job lined up 5 minutes from home and a 10% pay increase. Dont tell your employees about record profits for a multi billion dollar company and give insulting raises.
I live in a country where it snows and not just a little bit. It's going to snow over 25 cm or snow or close to a solid 10 inches for the Americans here. That's all going to happen in the course of about 3 hours during which I am expected to commute at the risk of my life… unpaid, of course. Every year, I suffer extreme commute anxiety that last year culminated into a very real life threatening accident where I lost my vehicle when I lost control of it and some 10 minutes later another vehicle also lost control and ran into mine. I'm trying to call for a motivated absence tonight, and the freaking supervisors are not even answering the phones (I want to swear a blue streak). I can't even ask if my absence may be motivated, but if I were to take a day off,…
Economy, Morality and Libertarianism III The country increases the amount of its money with reason and fairness in mind by taking on debt when the tax revenue isn’t enough? National debt works, which proves that it was possible to increase the amount of money in the national economy beneficially? Without taking on debt important work might have gone undone? And the currency hasn’t lost all of its value? When the amount of money is increased this way, some amount of rewards for work need to be given up in the future to pay the debt? Increasing the quantity of money by creating it without it being debt would require central planning, which can’t be done because we don’t live in a state of complete mutual agreement? (What would be the cost to bypass the moneylender?) Economy, Morality and Libertarianism A libertarian doesn’t support positive rights. No one can be forced…

out-of state meeting
I'm being forced to go down to another state about 3 hours~4 hours away driving to go listen to how the budget and incomes varied from last year, like I'm some sort of stockholder. I'm a technician who repairs printers and copiers. I don't care. I don't want to be forced to see the company's profits and then turn around and deny our raises, or to match inflation rates. I have to drive on Saturday to another state to go to the meeting for at least 2 to 3 hrs then a 'break” and have to go back for a banquet as a “thank you” with the intention of us staying in a hotel room nearby to stay the night…they said they are doing the meeting this weekend as the company is closed on Monday (but guess who's working the emergency cover)…..I.mentioned I'd rather have the cost of my gas,…
Am I right to pretty much assume that this could mean there’s some type of restructuring style fuckery at hand? Management is seldom present but I can tell they are in some kind of consistent conflict amongst each other. It’s gotten really draining even by proxy because they are constantly pushing then reversing policies on major things, like Covid precautions/remote. They suddenly have scheduled two mandatory 2 hour meetings for us in person next week after not doing anything in ages.
