Could we please normalize sharing our pay rates in “Goodbye” emails?

Like this one: https://www.reddit.com/r/antiwork/comments/sp7stx/a_coworker_left_creating_a_168000_spot_vacant_his/ Even if it was fake, sharing your salary to your coworkers on your last day of employment seems like it would benefit those you're leaving behind immensely. What is that company going to do? Fire you?

Hot Take: Maybe we shouldn’t be making more cogs for the corporate regime

I don't believe we should be having kids in this economic environment. Hear me out. You're probably pretty pissed that your parents didn't have shit to offer and now you are stuck in an endless cycle of wage slavery barely getting by for 50+ years. I'd be there, too, if I hadn't “married up” to a higher caste. So my logic here is that having children of your own to suffer in poverty with you is inflicting the same generational poverty and hellish existence on yet another generation simply because “you wanted” them, despite being unable to give them a decent life. Even though It isn't your fault you can't provide them with a decent start in life, but seeing as most of us cannot, and are aware that our lives are generally pretty miserable, why do so many people still do it? Is it not the definition of selfishness?…

I’m not going to, but I’m tempted to make a batch of Participation Ribbons and start showing up with them at places that are hiring and have horrible ads

“Only apply if you're interest in ACTUALLY WORKING and are GRATEFUL TO HAVE A JOB” i feel irritated by people who write things like this. i wonder how they'd feel if some employable-looking people came into their business, asked if they were the ones struggling to find a person for the position from the listing, then thanked them for participating in the job market and handed them a ribbon. then, do like they always do and feign like you're genuinely trying to give them a gift or cheer them up or something

Have you ever thought of yourself as “not a people person” bc customer service sucked your soul out, but that otherwise maybe you are perfectly inclined to enjoy the company of others?

Like, you ever think of yourself as a jaded cynical person who just doesn't like people and has a hard time relating or connecting to people… only to reflect on it and think maybe it has something to do with your daily work environment in which you have to politely accept disrespect and degradation? In which setting boundaries for yourself and telling people when they've gone too far is explicitly not allowed? Alternatively, are you a “people person” who has no problem getting along in these situations? In which case, how the hell do you do it?
