Solidarity!! 😊

I feel this in my soul.

Absolutely

It's absolutely infuriating that actual members of government (in the UK at least) spout this utter nonsense. Saying that some jobs shouldn't earn a living wage is ridiculous. Capitalism says that cleaners don't deserve to live so we'll just go along with that, because we obviously don't need things to be cleaned.

Lets not forget that servers wages have not gone up one cent in 20 years.

Try that in USA and i guarantee the headline would be " Bus drivers sued for unauthorised use of company equipment while on strike"

This should be higher up the list!

Think of all the färt heads who will scream "Communism!" upon reading this.

Yep... at the time just one regular job was enough. Damn...

Capitalism rewards capital. People need to stop saying it rewards hard work.

My company made record profits during covid. Best in their 150 year history our raises did not even meet cost of living... The rich get richer

If you're boss is that fragile, time to start looking.

Lots of public bodies such as councils do this. They already know who they want for the job but are often legally required to advertise the position publicly. A complete waste of time and money.

Well I want a society where people don't have to worry about food and shelter no matter what job they do or don't work, how about that twitter person with the unfortunately censored name, huh?

I was ghosted by a company that was trying to headhunt me from my current role. Called, offered me a massive pay increase, I did 2 phone interviews, then... nothing. Not one single person out of 4 I was in communication with would return calls or emails. Im not mad about not getting the position (honestly, I wasnt super into it based on one of the bosses being a guy I used to work with), but you came TO ME... Then ghosted. I was annoyed and confused.

“Hehehe! I’m in danger!”

Being an Olympic swimmer doesn't give you automatic immunity to incidents. Or drowning.

Were they applying for a job at the Department of Redundancy Department?

No wonder companies complain that nobody is buying things anymore. It's not just inflation, but greedy landlords.

We don't 'Reese'pect you enough to pay you properly.

A lesson I learned after COVID. Before COVID, I held the same job at the same place for 12 years. Afterword I jumped from five places in two years. Got a raise every time.

Oh yeah... this resonates. ...except for senior managers who are hired just to oversee the layoffs spawned by a company re-org. When the dust settles, they leave. I call them hatchet men (or women). I saw this more than once or twice at the place I worked for through to retirement.

A bow movement? Shoot your arrows quicker and don't miss the boss next time.

Must be all the Red Bull

Am i the only one who thinks that's fair? Like they did steal... Edit: Thanks 4 the upvotes

Been there...then I joined them in quitting after I realized they were on to something...

"Oh shite! What did I do this time?" It was the "Employees must stop crying before returning to work" sticker in the employee bathroom wasn't it? True Story.

Pardon me BP censors but F-U-C-K that guy. That is NOT how you treat staff. I hope that manager contracts long COVID and spends the rest of his life on a respirator. Making someone go to work with COVID is a danger to the rest of the staff and a danger to any clientele. You know what's not good for business? Getting your customers sick.

At $15/hour.

do it anyway
