Weeks off don’t make profits. Obviously. Also I agree with the workers.Companies care more about profits than working conditions

Fuck them >

They don't want to spend money on employees, not that they can't. For profit organizations have no reasons to throw more money to employees than they have to. >

Striking is a good reason why they should have to pay employees more. >

Strikes cost them more than just a few sick days and a couple extra bucks an hour.  When your entire income is shut down due to a strike,  that’s millions a day in lost money, potentially loosing contracts.   Companies may choose trucking over trains if you aren’t reliable. >

And if truckers strike? >

Back to wagon caravans, baby! >

What happens when they all get dysentery? >

We go by boat, on the newly formed shit river. >

But what if you can't ford it? >

Well, then you're in deep shit. >

My company just fired a bunch of people from major roles, gave their job duties to other people in major roles expecting them to now do the work of two people, and sent us all an email wanting us to congratulate them. Then they promised at the end more changes to be announced soon.
I haven’t gotten a raise since 2019 or a Christmas bonuses since 2018.
They also made great profits last year. But their investors are constantly HONGRY. 
I’ve updated my resume. >

My company had only 50% growth this year so they rewarded us by firing 10% of people and not doing merit raises. Woohoo.
I'm putting in the absolute minimum to not get fired and trying to pick up a second job in the same role where I will do the same. So instead of working diligently I'm going to be playing 3 card Monty with s few companies because that's the only way to get ahead. >

It's not always that extreme, but if I had a dollar for every time this happened...


Quarterly Town Hall:  "And we did really good growth!  And we're making lots of money!  Yay money!"


Literally 5 minutes later:  "...but unfortunately we didn't hit the growth target so there will be headcount reductions sowwy lololol"


...I'd have like a few dozen dollars or something >

quarterly town hall vs earnings call is really interesting to hear the two faced CEOs >

Earnings calls will give you the real deal. They can spew bullshit to employees, but can’t legally lie to investors. >

Correction...can't legally lie to investors >

Good point. Added that to my post. >

This is what happens when Wall Street is dominated by hedge funds, private equity firms, and massively wealthy individuals.  It was always a bit of a rigged game, but never like it is now. >

Rent and Housing are at top levels all over the map. Bailing out the sausage mortgage holders in 2008 did nothing for people who actually want a house to live in. It saved the banks and left the people with inflated rent/house prices. >

and then it happened again in 2020 >

This is after they can’t get a week off?
