Antiwork

all the facts and data is already out there. we all know. talking about it online is useless. we have run that course. there is no new information that can come out about how we are being screwed that will shock me or further enlighten me about how bad we have it.. so have we complained to deaf ears enough? we have done that for months.. years.. to no avail.. is april going to be just another month of complaining into the void.. when are we actually going to focus on solutions and actions instead complaining about things we have been complaining about for years? this sub is actually making me lose faith more than gain faith as the longer i am hear.. the more i realize none of you actually have any intention on doing anything other than complaining day after day about the same shit we all know.

While also the new Designer causing big fuss over nothing something wasting everyone’s time. I told the Director she’s wasting time over fuss and the Director…

My job had a meeting a few months ago to discuss the new wage increases and stressed that they do not want us to discuss our raise with anyone else. I did clarify that we are legally allowed to in the meeting however they said that it would be considered in future promotions and things that require confidentially. Is that considered a form of retaliation?
