Americans are so brainwashed they’d go to work the day after their boss murders their family

It's pathological at this point.

What’s the motivation for me to keep taking on the workloads of people who are leaving? What if I simply refuse?

I’ve been at my current job just over a year and the turnover is wild. We’ve lost like 8 people in the last year. Every time someone leaves, I’m forced to take on some of their old workload with zero incentive or compensation, not even as much as a lousy gift card or even a thank you. So serious question, what’s the alternative? What’s an exit strategy that doesn’t involve this unfair process? And can I just start refusing the extra work? TIA!

Doesn’t it make you physically ill when companies use memes and popular catchphrases to sell products?

I’ve seen “so relatable”, “take my money”, “we see you”, “that face when ____”, the girl looking at her man in disgust as he looks at another girl, etc, etc. How about you fucking let us enjoy these things without you constantly fucking ruining them?

Had an interview at a job. And they offered no PTO. So I said, a hard NO…

Yeah…and no wander why they desperately need people but the real reason why they lost people is because you arnt offerring any PTO whatsoever. It's like, how in the fuck is someone supposed to have a life outside of work without a day off or so? This is the equivalent of working yourself into the God damn grave once you hit the burn out stage. And it's all down hill from there…
