Boycott

Our money has power. Don't support McDonald's. Don't support Walmart. Support local as much as possible. Go to the farmers market, shop small businesses, buy sustainable alternatives.

The workers who make Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups describe going to work as a stay in “Hershey’s prison” – forced to work 70+ days straight, receive constant forced overtime, and punished for time off, now they’re unionizing to take back their power.

If truck drivers can organize over a vaccine, why can’t working-class people organize over things like getting beaten up by customers or being forced to work with food poisoning or after the death of a family member?

Is it because the truck drivers are mostly men? Why can't Working Class People in these terrible awful jobs organized? I've had people throw more smoke at me when I say you should file a police report over workplace assault, then having smoked for the guys assaulting people!

Lied on resume got a high paying job

So I made a fake ish resume. Some was true and some not. My degrees and all credentials were legit and true but I put a few places of employment that I “worked” at that I truly never did to have more experience. The career field is something I am in and am knowledgeable in I just don’t have 5+ years of experience like everyone wanted soooo I made up like 3 ish. We’ll fast forward a couple of weeks and I landed a remote job. Very well paying. Literally doubled my salary. A bit worried I can be found out but at the same time is it bad I don’t feel that guilty because of how most companies are when it comes to insane requirements and little pay. Should I be worried & confess or run with it as long as I can? Ps. I’m in the HR field

In the USSR you were mandated to work, if there was a large enough strike in Canada they’d probably try the same thing!

So I was born in russia and my parents grew up in the soviet union, they would make school kids work in state potatoe farms called kolkhoz and they probably still do in Belarus, where my moms side is from. If everyone stopped working in Canada for over 2 weeks they could try to mandate people to work using the emergency powers act.

Remember Homers enemy?

In this sub, are we all Frank Grimes, the hardworking, undervalued, underappreciated employee who despises the lazy, incompetent coworker (Homer) who is undeserving of their title, salary, home, cars etc?
