In-N-Out is no where near as progressive as you think

So I recently saw a post praising In-N-Out Burger for it's “progressive pay” and the prices for the food in this subreddit. This post will come off as extremely ranty as I get so worked up about this company, so I apologize for any spelling errors. I've worked for INO for over 7 years and its nowhere near as great as you think it is. The pay is always just enough to work their instead of McDonalds, BK, Carl and other fast-food locations and its almost always impossible to make it to fulltime unless you're a higher level and desire to make it into management. The more fulltimers at a store the less money the Store manager makes from their paychecks incentivizing them to keep the number low. The culture is extremely toxic and almost runs as an “Old Boys Club” only recently have I seen the culture slowly allow…

The Online Anti-Work Community Is Bigger Than What Many May Imagine.

Just an observation. I’ve noticed that Facebook and Twitter posts (at least the ones shown to me by the almighty algorithms) don’t have as many interactions and likes as most of the posts from r/antiwork. Mainstream, corporate-financed media is definitely blacking out and ignoring much of the labor movement, regardless of political inclinations. I’m curious if their Nielsen ratings are as underwhelming? We should continue proselytizing the gospel of the proletariat, and deprogram the masses.

Naming and shaming IS always a good idea, actually.

The mods having their bot try to discourage us from naming and shaming every single time somebody acknowledges one of the few tools we actually have for fighting back against exploitation has gone on long enough. To name and shame a company is one of the only tools we even HAVE in order to defend ourselves against this shit and we have a moral obligation to name and shame every single company that chooses to exploit us.

Can we stop with the pro-corporate posts?

I’m talking about the posts that are pics of fast food hiring signs, heaping praise on these mega-corporations for paying what is barely a living wage and providing the bare minimum of benefits. With hundreds of comments praising how well they treat their employees, their delicious food and their low low prices, while the comments from people who actually work there are way down at the bottom. I can’t help but feel suspicious when I see dozens of comments mentioning “always fresh never frozen!”, “great benefits, happy workers!” and “damn can’t wait till I get off work so I can get some orange chicken/a double double etc!” Listen to the workers. Panda Express, In N Out, Dick’s and McDonald’s don’t care about you. They are not here to save us. Being not as bad as the absolute worst doesn’t mean they’re good.

A response to a recruiter reaching out to me on LinkedIn in solidarity with the current and previous employees of this company. It’s time the game changes and we start holding potential employers to their own references and reviews of working at their company.

Think Hollywood is Immune to the Bullshit of a Standard 9-5? Guess Again. It Looks Like a Major Movie Studio Stole My Film, Remade It, and Didn’t Pay Me a Dime

In 2011, I wrote and directed a no-budget movie called “Memory Lane”. I shot it in my grandma's garage with a camera from Wal-Mart and my roommates as actors. Somehow, it was good enough to world-premiere at Sci-Fi London in May 2012 and ultimately be released in 13 (I think) countries on VOD and wherever DVDs were sold (pretty awesome to see our little movie on shelves at Target next to big, Hollywood releases). Fast forward to August 2021. I get a text: “Bruh. I just watched your movie on HBO Max. It's called 'Reminiscence'.” I headed over to HBO Max, turned on “Reminiscence” and was blown away. Not because it was good. But because it was my movie. Same character names. Same plot points. Ads for their movie used my film's title and retooled tagline. I contacted attorneys immediately. None of them would take the case mainly because you're…
