Inflation as a Tool of Capitalist Opression

Workers drop out of the workforce due to their exhaustion, disgust and frustration. Inflation explodes. Coincidence? We decide to live on less rather than take their abuse and they make it exponentially harder to live on less. Better shut your mouth get back to work so you can feed your family. The economy is manipulated to benefit the wealthiest.

(Old story) Work despite being awake 24+ hours

So, I used to work at a bowling alley kitchen when I first started working. When I decided to move on, I got a job at a nearby gas station. I told my manager at the kitchen that I was starting to work graveyard shift and I wouldn't be able to work in the mornings. He didn't schedule me for mornings for the first week. I was on the 2nd week of my 2 week notice and he asks if I can work in the morning on the last day. I told him I couldn't because I was working that night and needed sleep. He scheduled me for 5pm to 10pm the day before the end of my two week notice then I had to work 10pm to 6am at the gas station. After that, he had scheduled me for 8am to 3pm. I called him and told him I…

Oh no, great resignation, labor shortage, boo the frick who.

Everywhere I look, labor shortage this, great resignation that, we need employers NAO!!!!!, and yet… nothing. I've applied to fuck knows how many companies, redone my resume an ungodly number of times, interviewed several, nothing. I even stayed up for a fucking 3 AM video interview, because that's a great idea. Oh wait. I get rejected by the screening interview. But no, I keep playing the fucking game, because god damn it, in this society, we earn a living. No, we don't get a basic living from the get go, it's EARN A FUCKING LIVING. Because, for the simple reason that I was born, I have to earn a fucking living. Oh, I get excuses for it. “Oh, we went with a more relevant candidate.” “Oh, we don't care enough to inform you our decision making process.” “Oh, we don't have uniforms with pants in 64×30.” “Life, liberty, and the…

Fuck the taxe system!

I'm sick and tired of always owing money to the IRS. For the last 5 years me and my wife have owe money. This needs to fucking change. We don't make over 60k even. I'm tired of seeing rich people across the boad being able to get away with taxe frurad. If I make a mistake on my filing or try to use a write off it cost me more money. Fuck H&R block fuck turbo Tax. We need to have change I can barely get by on what I have and now that every single living cost has gone up. How the hell am I going to beable to afford school or even to get in basic needs. I'm honestly ready to join a general strike and really fight for change. And fuck Joe Biden for not abolishing student loans or doing anything for normal people.

Asked for a $10K raise, salary, & to work fully remote. Meeting this coming week!

I sent him (the owner) a fairly stern e-mail making my case. He said he “understands times are tough” & that he's “sure we can figure something out” & that we'll “talk & finalize it next week.” He's an old, stern, traditional kind of guy who believes the internet is a trend. I work in his e-commerce department. Use to be 7 people. Now it's 3. 5 quit. The newest guy has been there 6 months, I trained him, he's my boss. I pretty much told the owner I would quit in the original e-mail if I didn't get the 10K raise & I don't plan on budging there either—I'll need it to afford rent. I also plan on asking 10K more if he wants me to continue commuting into work (I'm already partially remote; I was fully but came back to help fill a vacancy that has since been…

I went for an interview for a company I really wanted to work for I stumbled on a question or two but over all thought it went well!

I waited and finally called to inquire and it was very weird the lady answered said a DM wouldn’t hire me and hung up…I later reapplied in a different position and when I got info that I was placed on a do not hire list by the DM whom I’ve never met or spoken to! The company was going through restructuring so lots of the staff had quit a sales lead who was acting as the store manager for the time being (who was 17) did my interview. I have so many questions as to why the dm that I’ve never met would put me on a list like that! I have no record of any kind I was professional and dressed professionally and It’s really bothering me to be on a list saying for the company to never hire me for absolutely no reason, that I can understand! Would…
