Antiwork

First things first, “anti bad working conditions”, “anti rich financial loopholes”, “anti bs wages” etc are fine, workers need to earn enough to cover their living expenses, medical expenses, and should have time for themselves too. But so frequently, the anti work posts are just about giving up, getting and demanding. The idea of “getting”, when held in company with “making” and as second in importance, is constructive for a society. But when held alone, it would just create a vicious, anti-social cycle. The predominant thought in the labor world was to “make” things and thus “make” money. People who make things are a sturdy, honest race because they deal with ideas of skill and quality. And society is solid so long as they are solid. The only way to break down this strong safeguard of society — a creative laboring class of sturdy character — was to sow other…

I’m generally all for capitalism BUT I think the current US system is failing in so many ways.

I work at a hotel where there is no HR besides the owners themselves. Backstory, a raise was given put a couple months ago (literally about 3-4 months ago) due to a government contract that was reserving the local hotel for quite a while. The raise was not put in place by said organization, but rather through the owners themselves. Currently the organization did not renew their contract with the hotel, and about 22 days later the owners have taken it upon themselves to cut pay rates (every employee has a different cut in their pay) The employees here are only a few as we are a 200 rm hotel that is currently only employed by about 11-13 employees and only about 8 are full-time. This seems extremely unjust as we are already understaffed. Can anything be done, with Texas labor laws? I'm looking into the issue but I would…
