"We are not anti-union, but we are not neutral, either."

Lol. The double-speak is absurd.

[-] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 38 points 9 months ago

...so that means you're pro-union?

"We believe that unions are a threat to our customers, shareholders..."

...ohhhh.

But a welcomed threat!

"We're not anti union, we just believe that unions are a direct threat to our business model and need to shut them down quick."

[-] Balthazar@lemmy.world 35 points 9 months ago

If you refer to hints of union activity as "warning signs", then you're anti-union.

"Vulnerable to organizing", lmao. Yes, they put quite some effort into reframing.

[-] djasee@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

for any capitalist to admit "vulnerability" is hard enough on its own lol

[-] BossDj@lemm.ee 20 points 9 months ago

Unrelated, but it kinda bothers me that so many of these videos now feature one of these barely-animated characters. It's like they shake a doll in our face to try to keep our attention.

What a disgusting video.

Greedy, manipulative, despicable behaviour like this is why I take no issue with people who just repair their broken things by ordering a new one on amazon and sending the broken one as a return for a full refund. I'm not sure how a person could even feel remorse while pissing in the face of a company pushing shit like this into their employee's faces.

A surprising amount of people I know like to upgrade their graphics cards this way, returning their old card in the new box, getting free cutting-edge upgrades as soon as they become available on amazon's dime. Seems to have worked pretty well for them over the years 🤷

You haven't screwed over Amazon by doing that, though. You've screwed over whatever poor schmuck paid full retail price for a brand new GPU and got what you returned.

[-] drev@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

Sure, but they return it as well for a refund or new item. The seller gets reimbursed in full by amazon

[-] ofk12@lemmy.world 12 points 9 months ago

Fucking despicable.

[-] randomaside@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 9 months ago

I wonder if the guy who did this voice over is part of a union.... Probably just AI.

Don't scab for the bosses
Don't listen to their lies
Poor folks ain't got a chance
Unless they organize
