Need ai for the workers

There needs to be an ai like ubuntu for the workers. The smartest hackers could collaborate to create an ai to theow the yoke of ownership off the working class. I feel like the smartest coders are not doing ot for money but for joy. What better joy than giving the gains to the prolteriat? Please use this as a manifesto to have the productivity gains of ai go to the worker and not to the owner.

Roommates job ghosted him

He worked at a convenience store for about 3 months. The manager of the store gave him less and less hours then stopped scheduling him all together. Any time he calls the manager she dodges his calls. Never actually told him he was fired. Are they even allowed to do this?

Extremely close to quitting…

So. I've been at ALDI for nearly a year. I got the job luckily as I met a manager outside work who happened to be an Area Manager. At the time I was going through the nasty part of my divorce and need more hours at work. Right. Fast forward and I nearly quit 2 months working chiller for 10 hours, 2 days in a row. Everywhere was hurting BAD, yet my manager demanded I call her and she convinced me to come in. ALDI doesn't give a shit if you're small, you get the work done. Lately there have been so many changes including checking customers' bags which has at times resulted in minor altercations that I am not interested in having. I suffer from anxiety and have been on varying medications so at times have been so teary at work I don't know why and have even had…

Why do we all go along with it?

Can somebody explain to me how we all just except this shit? Why is the quality of our lives dictated by our ability to make money? Nobody wants it to be this way OTHER THAN THE PEOPLE MAKING ENOUGH MONEY

Was let go from a liquor store

As the title says, I (20s/M) was let go, or rather fired, from my local liquor store. A mom and pop place that is actually the biggest in town and since we're in a college town they get a lot of business. It is literally a mom-and-pop place, a husband and wife own and operate it and their son also works there. I had been working there since around the start of the summer, right after getting my Masters. I applied and interviewed and got a job that same day. I was pretty upfront that I was just looking for work to keep myself afloat. It pays 11/hour which is not great but I was told after a probation period I could get 13/hour, still not great but in the back of my mind I was not hoping to be there that long. Well here we are, about maybe 3…

Thoughts? Having to get a radio before I clock in sounds like work to me.
