Pretty much the title. I'm working at a store that has a customer loyalty program, and we are expected to get a certain amount of people to sign up or, supposedly, we will be fired. Not a deadline either. This is permanent. 17% of all customers must be new sign ups and I'm threatened with termination if not. I feel like this is an impossible request. If someone says no, it's not like I can force them to sign up, and only about 20% of all customers aren't signed up anyway. So only 3% are allowed to leave without signing up, otherwise I get fired? Absolutely ridiculous. I don't care about this job to be honest, though I don't want to just up and quit. Primarily looking for ways to malicious compliance this, particularly without being rude to customers.

Working 12 hours for the weekends from 7am till 7pm cause they were too cheap and lazy to hire someone for first shift.

What I really remember was having my desk top being covered in dust from my manger's great idea of putting my station in the middle of a construction zone…

It’s clear to me that with the last advancements in artificial intelligence seems feasible to reach a moment in history where all cognitive capacities of the human being are surpassed by artificial entities. This of course, will bring about a huge shift in the job market. Massive layouts following by protest on the streets. A system in which almost anybody will have a job cannot be based on job productivity and we’ll have to fight to move forward to another framework in which human beings have value for themselves, not becase they are some kind of productive machinery. I just like to think that this day will come sooner that most people think and that we are going to fight together to make the human being really human, doing the things that really matter to us. Spending our lives creating human communities; enjoying music, art, philosophy, science, traveling and in…
