Work picnic how to get out of it

I have a work picnic at the end of the month. I work from home and have zero desire to socialize at my new job. I have to give my manager an excuse as to why I can’t go. Any ideas?? I work from home for a reason.

Behavioural change to change the system

My take on capitalism is that it is deeply entrenched in our behaviour that leads to processes and tools, which lead to the system we observe and define as capitalism. To change it, we need to change our behaviour and the processes and tools. Then the system will follow. I believe that this has to be done under free market concepts and/ or conditions. That is why I created the subreddit r/Project_Philadelphia. My hope is that you will read its Wiki and join as a member.

I started working at home customer service and it's a total nightmare! I was desperate for work and decided to take the job, the training is horrible it's basically do it yourself and no one to guide you. It's so tedious learning about something so useless instead of teaching me how to actually handle calls. Trying my best to make it last, but I don't think I'll last past training. I need advice 🙁 Also: sorry for the horrific grammar I can't think straight because of all the tears, COVID, and horrible training.

Video/audio recordings of workplaces falling apart

Are there websites or subreddits where one can find recordings of shitty workplaces/companies/bosses self-destructing because of their own stupidity? Something about those places falling apart after employees quit, leave, stand their ground etc following their ridiculous demands is cathartic.

A manager at a restaurant

I'm a manager at a restaurant I watched another manager stealing tips of servers. I reported her to the DM and got no where. I felt bad as these servers depend on their tips as they are paid crap hourly. In the midst of it all I was told we will launch an investigation. Funny thing is it's been two weeks and nothing. So today I got the head of the restaurant in my presence and showed him the videos I took of her stealing. He then said he would look into it. Well needless to say I handed in my keys right there and told him to shove the job in his ass I would not work for a company that did this kind of stuff. He asked me to take my keys back that he would deal with it. I told him when he does to call me…

Let’s start expressing money costs as how many part time hours that thing costs to earn the money for it.

Money is just the fake in game currency we use to distance ourselves from the fact that we are trading hours of our lives for credits. Let’s refuse to use that middleman currency
