Original tumblr post, which I agree with and think should be seen by more people. It is shared with the author's permission, and here is my abridged version:
Given the chance, your employer will work you to death. Your employer does not care about you. They do not care about the future. They do not care about anything but adding zeros to their bank accounts, and they will kill you to do it. In fact, they expect you to die for their profits. What reason do you have to do that? Your boss isn't going to die keeping a roof over your head and food on your table, are they? You are given just one thing in this world, one precious and finite thing. Your time. Take it back. Remind your boss of the true value of your time, and of your power.
This is the call to action:
Mark your calendars! Call out sick May 30th, 2023 PST. Encourage every working-class individual you know to do the same. Share this!
Remind the world that it does not move forward without you. It moves forward only because we allow it. They cannot stop all of us.
