business which promotes and depromotes at will wonders why no one wants to work for them

today the company i work (chain retail) for pulled an even shittier move than usual. first of all, we are understaffed. technically we have enough managers employed at our store, but they transferred one of us to a place with even less staff. their logic goes that instead of one store having normal hours and not being overworked while another closes early, both should have overworked staff and close early. i am a manager in training. one of the other managers decides to go on their first vacation in six years. i get a call from corporate saying that because i am the only manager available, i would be promoted with a $2 raise. fine, right? still poverty wages in my area, but not a step down, at the very least. before i could say “thank you”, they then promptly informed me that once my store's manager was off vacation,…

bro what is this bullshit!?

Gas is getting up to $5 per gallon and Biden want us to go back to driving to work? Are you fucking kidding me It's like we're living in a shit show or a fucking Louis CK dark comedy drama. We have shown that we can survive working at home Why the fuck change that? As long as we have these type of leaders in charge they'll never be happy, We really have to get rid of work/old tradition it's not working anymore. Wars are still being fought nothing has changed at all. We need to destroy the system from the inside.

“The price of sunshine per sq inch is rising due to the war in Ukraine”

Can you even imagine the markets driving up the input cost of a renewable resource during a time of global crisis? We're seeing oil prices going up and up since Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and everyone suffers! Everyone except the ones who stand to make money off of this, and don't see any issues betting on these things in the markets. Climate change denial is one thing, but corporations make token “green” moves because they cannot profit off of moments like these when renewable energy is the go-to.
