What is the Shutdown 315 Movement?
Edit: Because of the number of negative and discouraging comments that are counterproductive to the message of this post, I have decided to remove select comments that discourage organization. I apologize in advance if your comment is removed inadvertently.
I removed 32 comments.
Man it's going to be great when all 50 of us get fired from our jobs.
Wake me up when normies are on board. I'm not fucking up my life for nothing.
And then nothing ever changed
The end
This post is going nowhere because it doesn't have realistic backing of anyone significant. So no, this post isn't going to change anything, even if I decide to sacrifice my job for some rando trying to start a movement.
Wake me up when it gets any significant traction
sounds like you sleep all the time I doubt you'll keep your job like this anyway
Especially when you realize that March 15 is a Saturday.
No doubt this was organized by a Monday-Friday worker who would face no repercussions for this. It just screams "I want to do something without sacrificing anything" while expecting those working weekends to likely sacrifice their jobs and stability. Most people work Monday to Friday. Do it during the week for maximum effect.
I support the idea behind it but until people stop waiting for others to make the sacrifice nobody is mobilising. Even then it'll be hard to convince people. If somebody wants others to make a sacrifice and stand behind the cause then they should be setting the example and making that sacrifice first. I haven't really been seeing that.
How would you organize?
Poorly because I have a family to take care of, and bills to pay.
