Antiwork

Just stop working for the corpos and franchisees. Sure it might throw your nation back into the doldrums for a minute but it'll certainly hit the big boy's wallet.

I’m a cashier at a store that has credit cards that you can sign up for, and we’re supposed to ask each customer if they’d like to sign up for one, and tell them the perks of the credit card. I hate promoting the cards because in my mind, a credit card is a big responsibility, and most people have enough cards anyway.

Two weeks notice is a courtesy so they can replace you. If you're on this sub complaining about your employer, chances are your employer doesn't deserve this courtesy. If they were replacing you, they would do it behind your back and fire you with no notice once they know they have you replaced. So why give them a courtesy they wouldn't give you? If you're worried about having a reference, which shouldn't be an issue in the case you already have another lined up, just…
