So I've been working at this really small restaurant but profitable restaurant for a while now. Originally it was just the boss and I. We got along fairly well, but he hired his new young guy a while ago who is an absolute shill for capitalism.
He would work extremely hard for next to nothing, he never complains, never takes breaks, just a really subservient kinda guy. (He might not be all there)
Over time the boss got greedier and more selfish, knowing that he could take advantage of him.
I felt like the boss crossed the line when he started to pull us up for really ordinary pastimes, like tying our shoes, or just not constantly being productive. He actually tried to withdraw some money from our paychecks for “standing around” and “talking too much”
The stupid thing was my coworker wasn't even phased by this. I literally had to pull him aside and explain to him how important it was for us to stand up to our boss.
After a LOT of convincing, I managed to convince my coworker to go on strike with me, and surely enough, after a few days the boss is at my door asking to negotiate a deal for our return.
We both head to the restaurant to talk things out only to find that the new guy has completely smashed the place up in some really messed up panic. He then tries to say to the boss that I convinced him to do it!!
I'm really worried about my safety now. To make things even worse, the new guy is actually my neighbour! He lives next to my Moai house in a pineapple under the sea.
