Thats what I call entertainment!

Every other first world country on the planet has this .. except the US.

Excellent response

It's a fear and a sound one, especially if you're working to support others.

as an introvert .... I would LOVE to permanently work remote so that I could stay AWAY from everyone else's unnecessary drama

Wow that is super depressing

billionaires have 1000 MILLIONS , and Musk has 200 BILLION , it's both mind boggling and fcking sickening

My job is not exhausting at all compared to others, and I know I'm lucky for that. But it's clearly eating up my intellectual energy. I used to draw from time to time, and write short stories. Now I casually come home at 7 in the evening with zero creativity.

Start looking for all the big companies you don't really need to spend your money for on a daily basis, and thus could boycott permanently until they pay their taxes and decent wages to their employees. That seems a fair and quite satisfying thing to do.

I heard that growing up, people could pay rent on a single income and work good hours. I'll never have that life. I wake up every day knowing that it's only a matter of time until I turn 15, and then I need to start working. Otherwise, I'll never afford college. I want to become a psychologist and live in a nice apartment with a cat. But the most I'll ever be is an anxious, depressed McDonald's cashier.

Absolutely.

Yeah. Worked somewhere with one of these where u had the option of putting your name, and if u didn't, it was "anonymous". So a co-worker did his as Elvis, and shockingly enough, he got called in to HR about it. Told us he did it to prove it wasn't anonymous at all

I think they actually did invent that flavor of Monopoly. To try to profit on the sadness. Doubt the board is fun enough to be flammable more than once though

Yes. That! And every edgefound baby with privileges would be starving.

And every retail and warehouse employee. Oh, and every food service employee in general, not just the servers, but also the servers. Oh, along with many, MANY other professions, like healthcare workers and first responders, and, really, anyone who has to sacrifice their physical and mental health on a daily basis. Oh, but the bazillionares are all like n0, wE cAN't aFf0rd iT!!!". My favorite lie of the millennium is when "we have to cut your hours this month", then in the same breath "tell your friends we're hiring!". Go fvck yourself right off.

Damned straight!

My son & DIL are both servers working full-time, yet can't make rent on a 450sf apartment - and they have a 10 month old with another on the way. Trying to get a house big enough for them to live with us.

Hard work makes you a millionaire, but whose?!

Work smarter...not harder. If you're working 60 hour weeks you're doing it wrong. If you're a service worker then you should be a small business owner. Getting an LLC costs $200 or so. That is not that expensive in the scheme of things. Get out there and hustle and figure it out. Your boss did!

To be fair, I really don't want my basket of fries now that it has supported a plate of chicken tenders and another basket of fried yum-yums. Just make two trips please. I'll pay the difference.

true

Mental health day!

With the benefit of hindsight, if there was an evacuation order then any manager who forced the workers to remain under guard should absolutely be liable for their deaths, and the very company should be sued and prosecuted out of existence. Natural disaster in reference to the storm and its effects is accurate

Dark, but I see your point.

26 years? And only 78000? Where do you live and can you please get me a place like this.

I don't believe in laziness. I believe in inactiveness, which is usually a product of something the individual is not happy about.

poor folk incentives: 1) Recommend this job to a friend. If we hire them and they stay for 3 months YOU get $100! ... 2) employee appreciation gets you a paper bag full of candy and 1 fruit

oooh...like living on the edge huh?

That must be an American thing? We never gave out awards like that, that's ridiculious.

And I'm always baffled by all these Hollywood movies, praised by massive audience and making billions of juicy dollars, while most of them carry very specific anticapitalistic messages that should start revolutions right away at the exit of the movie theatre.

To be more precise it's the Calvinist/Pietist "live to work - not work to live".

*Shocked pikachu face*

Capitalism doesn't work, communism doesn't work, democracy doesn't work, socialism doesn't work... I think our "leaders" don't work.

Exactly.

why do you think they like to keep us fighting ? so we cant unite , if we're busy fighting each other we're not waking up and fighting them , the cause of ALL our problems

That's really crappy of the employer, I will settle for getting no bonus instead.
