Antiwork

This was told to me by a couple of my supervisors at work. I have been through ongoing medical problems and have needed unexpected time off beyond my sick time. They want to make sure I'm physically and mentally ok. Oh I should mention that I work at a college dining hall which is a union job.

But because we won't settle on some form of Universal Basic Income or re-allocate the funds from the robots “wages” into higher paid positions for the humans that will work we're stuck in this endless cycle of “the machines will take our jobs” Example: at a store if you have 4 self checkout machines and only 1 cashier running them all, instead of allocating the wages of those 3 other cashier's wages into your profit margins, why not just increase the pay of the cashier?

On the odd occasion I clock in at 8:31am (public transport is pretty unreliable at times) but I never clock out before about 5:05pm anyway so I make up for that one min. My manager has been berating me telling me that my clock-in time is unacceptable and that I am expected to be there at least 5-10 mins early so that I am at my desk and ready to start work for 8:30.
