Higher employee wages incentivizes companies to innovate. Low employee wages disincentives’ innovation, and is therefore ‘anti-capitalist’ or whatever. IDK I’m not a capitalist

That is all.

I am one bad day from blowing my brains out

I cant seem to catch a break in life. I am pretty much rock bottom at this point. I have been working shitty low paying miserable jobs. No girlfriend littlefriends and I am still stuck at my parents house. I also have autism an clinical depression so its not really helping me. How can people work like this for the next 30 years?

This may be off-topic, but especially US Americans who are sick of the grinding work culture, have you considered looking at foreign universities where the tuition is free?

I did the math on what my job will earn today

I work at a bottling plant, and my job is to mix product, which is then sent to be bottled and packed for shipping. We had around 31000 bottles filled and packed today, and the lowest price I found for this product online was 3.29$. If you did the math, i helped blend almost 102,000$ in revenue to the company. I work for 13$/hr, which if I worked 40 hours each week, will net me 27,040$ a year (before taxes, which takes 20% of my pay, so I really earn 21,632$ a year; also, without considering overtime pay). I need to work almost 5 years (after taxes) just to earn what my company will make from the 31000 bottles worth of product I helped make to sale… And this was just one day, in a five-days a week job, 52 work weeks a year. In a year, that revenue (considering…

They have unions for different types of construction workers but why not for white collar jobs as well?

I’m young so forgive me if I’m wrong about this but where I live it is common for people to join electrician unions or plumbing unions etc. why don’t they have like accounting unions or unions for other white collar jobs?

Your ideas are not your Own. Propaganda and the Role is has Played in Consumerism, Politics and your Worker Rights.

Edward Bernays, the grandfather and inventor of PR, was one of the most influential men in history. His uncle was Sigmund Freud (yes, that one) and he was very quick to jump on psychology and how it could be used to manipulate the masses. PR itself is just a rebranding of propaganda He used feminisism in the 1920s to sell cigarettes to women, making them think it was a defiant act. He distabilized and had Guatemala couped, on behalf of the largest fruit producing private corporation, when the country's leader tried to implement better Labor Laws and rights. He's the reason bacon and eggs are a staple in the American breakfast. He sold America's intervention in WW1 to the public as the US 'Bring Democracy To Europe'. He's the reason why you think there are 'Left vs Right' wings in politics, a model of narrative control implemented during McCarthism. Prior,…

have you noticed an increase in employers ghosting candidates after 1st interview?

I've interviewed at 4 jobs and after the 1st interview I've been ghosted. I can already guess why tbh -there is a misalignment on compensation which could have been avoided by stating budget upfront But regardless I find the complete ghosting and lack of follow up as unprofessional because they'll tell me “we'll look into flexibility and get back to you” like why lie lol. I've had to reach out to get rejections and some I just left as is. Wondering if you have been having the same experience?
