Back in the day, workers used to go on strike until they get what they want. And when the cops showed up with guns so did they.
Or they'd straight up go to the boss' house, drag him out and beat him.
This were the days.
And that's the story of why you and I get a weekend.
I mean frankly these fb employees made this bed. They’ve had two decades to unionize tech like other industries who wanted to prevent being taken advantage of but they’ve all just sat back and laughed at blue collar jobs with their 6-7 figure salaries thinking they were better than that.
Well if you sow the breeze you reap the whirlwind.
I went on strike 15 years ago! It wasnt half as bad back then.
Hey, y’all want some incentive? I make mid six figures and I’ve never graduated high school and I don’t work for anybody but myself. They are ripping you off and making you pay for it. The schooling is the first hint that you’re gullible.
This is not a knock against education, but you can be educated and not go to school. And you can be quite successful without playing that fucking game.
Let's hear about the interest free loan you got from your parents or an inheritance or other type of support that you got that most others don't before you start preaching about not having to play that fucking game though.
Because that's basically every single, "I work for myself/I'm a self starter/college is just brainwashing" self made entrepeneur story I've ever heard.
