"If only we had workers that cared! It's all their fault for not wanting to go the extra mile!"

That’s why I quit recently with no notice. They asked and I said “you didn’t give one the last 4 rounds of layoffs, so why should I?”

I live in a country where the company or you need to notify the other 2-6 months in advance. You can only quiet earlier if it is mutual.

I recommend joining a Union so you can also have the safety benefits that we do.

Yes! My thoughts exactly!

During the pandemic when this was all happening, it was a bright spot of optimism that things could finally begin to get better as people realized how much nonsense wasn't necessary.

But the propaganda machines were in full force pushing fabricated tales of people who "missed the energy of the office", and everything was about "getting back to normal" instead of making a new, better normal!

Heck I even saw edgy righties on places like iFunny getting all based saying "I can't believe we're being exploited like this! Jobs are such a scam."

It was beautiful.

Where did it go?! Why do we so easily forget??

Why aren't the remaining workers walking out in protest?

I fear homelessness.

What do we have to do, and why aren’t we doing it?

The list of worker protections needed for that kind of solidarity would take a book series to properly explain. The majority of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck, meaning they can't walk out without losing everything. They would pretty much instantly lose their jobs, which is a huge deterance.

And culturally, the situation is fucked. The U.S. has a much workers solidarity as La Croix has taste. Nobody wants to be the first to stick their neck out for a general strike. Nobody takes the ideal of a general strike seriously. A third of the population is republicans, whom vehemently oppose unions and worker protections.

The culture, values, and worker protections of this country need to dramatically change. And I wish I had solutions.

Unionization is the ~~only possible answer.~~ first step towards abolishing capitalism

You misspelled "guillotines"

Says someone, mad at their computer, also not doing anything about it.

That's not a solution. If I had to stop using every scummy corpo stuff, I'd have to live in a forest. We need reforms and laws. And abolish the wall street.

So what have you done so far?

Laying off a lot of people does wonders for the end of year report...

Yes, and also months after Bobby Kotick left, taking a $300M severance package with him.

Nah, make them blunt

Nvidia gave their engineers stock options that would years later net them millions. That caused a lot of their senior and experienced staff to either retire early or just stop putting in extra hours and now people are writing articles like "is paying your employees well a bad thing?"
