The sound of dots connecting
Incredibly based ability to self crit.
Folks like this give me hope. This is literally the sort of inspiration that keeps folks like myself, dedicated to agitating and educating, going.
Never stop posting, never stop talking
A guy at work yesterday told me after he came through my line at work a couple weeks ago, outside in the parking lot afterward his daughter asked “daddy what’s capitalism?”
(he is a comrade we have discussions like this but usually his kids aren’t there)
The process they break turns out to be a reason to fire or layoff in the future. It’s a win/win for the bean counters at the company. Completely fucked up business practice but I have been in business too long not to see it.
People don’t think that management does this intentionally but they do. It’s called AMERICAN MANAGEMENT and it’s literally a shit tier system. I have been in it, it’s intentional.
The courses he is talking about are just to circumvent actual change within the company. It’s an intentional band aid because American Management style requires workers to be submissive and under control. It’s just to claim that the workers were informed and is to help avoid law suits.
Overall we need unions because corporations run by rich kids who paid to win their positions need to be gut checked every now and again.
I’ve worked both the blue collar and white collar sides of the auto industry. The emperors are not wearing clothes. The white collar side is absolutely fucked. The highlight is when working for an IT contractor at GM and some plants went on strike. Every day there was a propaganda call from a guy that would have been right at home with ol’ Baghdad Bob. Lies all the way around with a dose of Comcast commercial distain in the delivery. Just could never take the auto industry management seriously after that.
