So, I’m going to try and get hired by Amazon in my area for the sole purpose of starting a union. Idea good or bad?

Title. Is this a relevant idea or it might do more harm than good? I already have a good job and I don't need the amazon job. I am a unionized worker and I know the whole process inside out with 4 years of union work experience. What's the worst that can happen? They fire me? I wouldn't want for people to lose their job because of me though..

Please, never let work come before your health.

I have spent the last 10 years of my life in the non-stop world of manufacturing. I started as a simple assembly operator, moving up into quality positions, set-up positions, and final inspection positions. I admittedly love my work. I love the fast pace, seeing how things are made, learning new things. I have worked my way into a pretty well paying job for my area. But today, I left my job. No notice, no goodbyes, nothing. I left, because at only 30 years old, I am facing spinal surgery. I have dealt with back pain for the past two or three years. Brushing it off as “all part of the job”, “small price to pay for the grind”, or whatever other bullshit line people have been fed for the sake of capitalism. Finally, two weeks ago I was bringing in groceries, when my back sounded like a shaken up…

Sarcasm is my only source of autonomy at work. I hope the bosses like my first slide. The topic is how to have more efficient meetings.

I am in a FB group for women who freelance and own small business. I don’t think this woman understands statistics. She also makes I sound so easy. Needless to say I left the group.

When You Pay Someone For Doing A Bad Job Because You Know The Grind Sucks

My mother went to get her car washed and get a total internal clean and had some old guy assigned to it. She told me the man missed spots and forgot to clean the inside. When she reminded him he apologized and said he'll do it again if his manager gives the okay (i guess be has to follow some procedures) but my mother said it's okay since she was worried he'd get in trouble. She told me she could tell the guys knees were shot and he was this skinny old frail man who looked exhausted. It's some straight cruelty where older people are still forced to work because there's no support.
