Antiwork

I just found out they are raising Prime by $2 a month, after posting $14 BILLION in profit last year and spending their resources busting unions and letting people die on the warehouse floor. I tried to text chat with customer service about this, and I ended up having the most dystopian conversation with a guy who was not allowed to say anything that wasn't off-script (if it even was a human at all.) He actually tried to tell me that it was due to “rising wages”. The world is burning and nobody cares.

Last week my company (healthcare) couldn’t meet payroll for like the 6th time this year along with a bunch of other BS, like my health insurance “accidentally” getting terminated a month ago. They are also being sketchy and giving us paper paychecks (I presume to avoid making deductions) instead of direct deposit due to cash flow issues. It’s kind of a shit show but as I’ve worked here for about 5 years, get paid very well, and my patients depend on me, I have therefore put up with a lot of BS.

My husband owns a semi truck, and he has a contract for delivering to stores out of a nearby distribution center. It's a lot for him to unload by himself (40,000 pounds) so I made a job post for him on indeed, for somebody to ride along and help unload. We were honest in the post about the job, and transparent about the wage and hours ($150 per day which is pretty decent for manual labor in our area). Pay every day. We got a ton of applications. my phone was ringing off the hook. Hired a guy and he shows up on time even though the truck leaves early in the AM. Works hard, nice guy, eager to learn about the business. this 'labor shortage' is a bunch of bullshit!! those 'nobody wants to work' signs should say 'nobody wants to pay' Keep holding out!! don't take low wages!!…
