When the working class has no wealth, we will not be able to consume. How will we be exploited next?

The bottom 50% holds only 2% of the wealth, and we already are a debt economy. When we inevitably end up with no assets or equity or borrowing power, how will we be exploited next?

Boss can’t look me in the eye when we were talking

Dude was never like that previoysly. Lately I notice there’s just really weird vibes going on. He ignores me most of the time when we are in office but a lot more warm/enthusiastic virtually. Today I had to go into his office to ask him about work. He barely look at me in the eye and even seem a bit nervous. He manages around 20 people under him so I find this behavior really strange. He’s definitely acts warm and outgoing towards others.Should I ask him about it? It almost felt like dealing with 2 completely different person. Am I getting fired lol

Just the latest in a long string of BS.

@kroger Hey Kroger, mind telling me why I just got fired directly after being on leave for a severe chronic physical/mental illness flare up that was the result of a lack of accomodations made for my condition? Or should I just leave that complaint with the Department of Justice?— BiasedMendicant (@BiasedMendicant) February 24, 2022

Not taken on after my apprenticeship because of mental health breaks

Hey everyone. I recently finished my apprenticeship with very good grades. Everyone at work got along well with me, and I did go above and beyond. However, I also spent a few months in a clinic due to mental health issues. So they didn't keep me on. Now I'm not getting any jobs. I applied everywhere, and nobody even responds. I have extensive work experience in different fields before my apprenticeship. I have a passion for this job and I genuinely believed I could make a living working a job I loved. ​ No I've been sitting on my ass for weeks and my self esteem is steadily dropping. Thanks, I hate it here.

Time for a rebellion

Companies wont change until everyone is unionized. But the corrupt government will never punish a company for its employees trying to unionize and them dropping more money than it would cost to let them unionize to stop them. So. Time to reset the government. Make it a job done by the people again. Put EVERY politician in jail, life sentence. Then they can experience the jail conditions they created. Country does so.ething illegal or invades another country? Take out the leader. Done.

Being denied promotion because of “Anti-Company” email

So long story short, I've been up for 4 promotions in the last 2 years and have been denied all of them with one still in the deciding stages. I was told that an email I sent to our manager asking for the “company to honor it's word and truly put employees first. [Company] should be a leader in our field and should be an example for others to follow.” The meat of it was a call for raises, vertical mobility, clarity and transparency, policy changes, dedicated resource budgets, and understanding for the employees needs. Nothing “anti-company” and in fact me believing that this company could be a shining example for others to follow and can grow if they just gave that extra little bit of consideration to employees. But concerns were brought up that I would be “a bad example for new employees and am unfit for a leadership…

Would you walk across America in one years time doing mindless task for 30 grand?

I work at a casino in California as a slot tech. We make $14 a hr plus tips split between 30 workers (All shifts) plus another 10% to the bars, in the last month my employer had us get a few certs to handle alcohol and serve to patrons as we work on machines on top of our normal workload. They fired all the cocktail servers. We now find our selfs walking 10 miles + a shift. In 280 days we could walk from the west coast to the east. “2,800” Miles. Since this thought has crossed my mind it really has me thinking in a new line of work.
