Antiwork

Question for the community, my boss walked by and asked if I have a Google account. When I asked why, he told me to go leave our store a 5 star rating because people are upset over the prices of our cars and leaving 1 stars. I work at a car dealership and we are having to mark up cars due to chip shortages. Can he really ask me to do so?

I am looking for inspiration. I mean “worst” for the company.

And i just too liberal socialist or is it true? Less time bosses having to walk around and watch workers everything is automated. Its proven people who work from home are more productive. Offices not having to waste energy to have power on. No having to stock break rooms with pizza. Companies should be begging to have work from home. Its the lifestyle they want for us anyway. Eat sleep and work all from home.

Today I got to work and tried using my employee number as I forgot my wallet with my card in it my foreman was very understanding he just had me sign a paper saying the time I came in and left and the lunch punches but I noticed at the bottom if I forgot a second time to use my card I would be charged 10$ is this legal?

If we're going to do something, we need to do it now. Companies are only getting richer, and they don't show any signs of stopping. I feel like our best bet in having any say is refusing to come back to the offices, due to how badly these companies need them. We have leverage, let's use it. Because otherwise there's no way they'll come to the negotiating table.

I don't mean it in any disrespectful or mocking way, genuinely trying to understand the perspective. I grew up in a working class immigrant family and my parents slave so hard just to survive. To me, work has always been a business transaction since I can remember (e.g. I slave my hours away in exchange for foods in my fridge and a roof over my top). Now I work at a somewhat comfortable 9-5 corporate job and I'm shocked to see the cultural difference. A lot of boomers at my work actually view work as part of their core identity. They stay around and hang out with coworkers (whom they aren't even that close to) even when they're free to go home. They talk about work all day and pride themselves on their work products. They are obsessed with comparing themselves on work-related stuff and brag about what their kids…

I envy all of you who can work from home. I really do. The gods only know how bad I wish I could stay in my apartment to do my job. Pet my cat when I want and shit in my own toilet. That being said, why give it up because someone says so? What if every one of you says “We're not going back” and just stays? I don't imagine a company would be willing to fire a large portion of their staff over something like that but also maybe I'm completely wrong. We've seen them so dumber things. Perhaps I'm oversimplifying but I really think you all have the power to just say “Nah, I wanna stay here where I'm not killing myself for you”.
