Have you ever lied as a reference for a friend?

Meaning you acted as an employer/co-worker to help a homie get a job?

Today I have the pleasure and the privilege to tell an abusive employer to go fuck themselves.

Thanks to this group I stood up for myself against an employer that liked to keep people under their thumb and force them to barely get by as far as making a living wage. I took a stand against them and they cut my hours so I went and looked for a new job with my unwanted off time. Today I was offered a job with higher pay and they automatically made me apart of their management team. Thank you everyone for helping to realize my worth and that we the workers really do deserve better. I hope that all of you in a similar situation get the chance to do the same. Also just pass this along the whole time I reminded myself that it's kinda like poker. There's a hell of alot of power in folding and saying I will not participate in this any longer. Much love…

“There are gonna be a lot of changes around here” meetings.

Lol. No there aren’t. You are short staffed because of low pay/terrible work environment so in an effort to combat that you refuse to fire anyone because you are petrified you may have to do any non management work, so you retain the worst employees while any decent ones quit, the new hires are then thrown to the wolves, used and abused, and quit before they are even finished training creating a revolving door of misery and costly incompetence . Your “work harder” “get off your phones” bullshit isn’t going to WORK. Your customers, clients, patients etc will go elsewhere until you have none. You are bleeding out and your company will not survive. I promise you drowning entry level employees in more duties, more technical tedious non job related tasks will not save you it will only speed up your insolvency. The lectures you give employees about “cost” are…

Isn’t ’24/7 work culture’ the same as serfdom? Or slavery? Or better yet, livestock?

They’re not crawling back at Twitter

I'm a practicing computer scientist (bona fides: you can check my comment history if you want to see what I do and where I went to school) and I have two good friends that were in the Twitter purge; one was high up in the security group…and he got one of the infamous “oops our bad, we actually need you, wanna come back?” groveling messages. The other has gone radio silent, I think he's drinking himself into a stupor…:/ He told them to GFY, and in his text thread to the college friend group chat we're in, he's said that everyone he's talked(*) to is basically of the form: “Elon can go fuck himself, and since he's such a fucking genius, let's see him do it.” Anyway, that's what I'm hearing from the one person I know who got shitcanned there, if I hear more, I'll post an edit on…
