First time posting

I work in the maintenance department of a private school. At the beginning of the pandemic we got an email from HR telling all staff they were closing the building, and to stay home My boss texted us and said we are supposed to be there Monday. I emailed HR for clarification on whether or not maintenance has to report to work. They never got back to me. I didn't show up for work Monday since I assumed we weren't supposed to. This was the first day of the nation wide lockdown. My boss called me Monday to ask where I was. The rest of the maintenance staff reported to work. I wasn't coming in. I told my boss about the email we all received from HR, and he told me that HR wasn't my boss… He threatened to take 8 hours of personal time. Which he did. I finally…

The ultimate goal

So we all agree the ultimate goal is a fucking utopia where we don’t have to work. How do we get there? In my opinion it’s through Unions. Currently the working class hero is getting reemed by low wages. While the billionaires get richer off our hard labor we get splattered against the wall. How do we stop this? Unionize. Screw management, screw the billionaires, screw the exploitation. As work becomes less and profitable to them the rate of automatization will increase and eventually labor will become a thing of the past and we can get on with the utopia. Anyway Unionize and screw them. It’s the first true step to antiwork for all

If you don’t think the power has shifted to the labourforce, I recommend watching this video. Made by “the other side” (see horrific opinions at 29:50), it’s full of real statistics and trends that show just how much they are against the ropes.

Blatantly illegal anti-union activity is blatantly illegal.

Not only does Starbucks selectively close unionizing stores over the phony notion of covid outbreaks… they also force all non-unionizing stores to stay open IN SPITE of the risks of covid. Its like Starbucks doesn't care about its employees or its customers. Covid-flavored, anti-union, coffee tastes like fascism. No thanks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbBBSrtc918 https://www.reuters.com/business/retail-consumer/starbucks-suspends-vaccine-test-requirement-after-us-court-ruling-2022-01-19/

Work perks

My employer, a multinational food conglomerate gave us a product labeled T-shirt and baseball hat, with a warm cold cut sandwich wrapped in plastic wrap when everyone complained about our low wages. Thanks *******

Its just crazy how many Businesses are fine ridding that fence between making more profits and loosing everything because they underpay and treat all their employees like garbage. Those “peasants” actually run your business and could shut it down with 1 decision made together.

Fuck people who say “peasants”, and eat the rich. No1 deserves to go without so that any 1 person can have 200billion dollars.

I asked CFO during an interview if he had any concerns about my background his response, “the fact that you have no background”

During the final interview with the CFO I said the usual, like what my day to day looks like, what accomplishments I had, and what personal projects I’m working on. After I was done speaking he starts saying that this position would require me to work overtime, (without overtime pay since this is a salaried position), and weekends. In my mind I was like, this already sounds like conditions I don’t want to be in. Then at the end he asks me if I have any questions. I normally like to ask this, “do you have any concerns about my background?” so I can gauge how I am doing and I know what to work on for the next interview. Then he proceeded to respond with, “the fact that you have no background”. I stayed calm and then left the office. As soon I got into my car and processed…
