I also work in Finance and it is the most frustrating shit. If these people who don’t do anything weren’t actively meddling in the work of people who do, things would be better off.

Hell yeah!

They know the top earners will scab if they wait long enough.

I think the pivot to the right in the white working class is overstated. These people overwhelmingly live vastly more comfortable existences than minorities of the same status. These people were always right wing socially, they can afford to vote on social issues (broadly, speaking). When you use college education as the dividing line, you obscure the dynamics.

I’m betting they make a deal. As insulting as UPS’ initial counter was, they want to start from as strong a place as possible so they can screw over workers no matter where they settle.

They did you a favor

No up/down votes obviously.

Non-algorithmic ordering, auto-collapse replies after a certain user-preferred setting.

Hey, sometimes it works!

Yeah, it’s an interesting process for sure. I took an Org Leadership course as part of my MS and it seems like it was an idea born out of good intentions with real promise that has (of course) been weaponized and turned against workers because everything is. You’re really supposed to use it to find low-hanging fruit to fix to keep the workers happy. But nobody does that.

This is bad advice. Do this and your name will go on the Problem List. Now, if you don’t care about getting laid off, go nuts.

They aren’t and your average frontline manager will spend a good chunk of the month after the result release figuring out who said what. And I don’t entirely blame them as being a frontline manager is to be a shit distribution gutter and official arrow-absorber for all the company’s problems.

Just find one thing to lightly bitch about so they feel engaged. You can’t just say everything is fine because they know that’s bullshit.

No, it’s filling out surveys and dismissing the result. I’m pretty sure.

Ah yes, the old “lazy, entitled” employee doing the work that was formerly performed by an entire team. I know them well.

Unfortunately, the pizza budget line item was deleted and there’s nothing we can do about it.

They want workers, just a certain kind of worker.

Yeah, I hated reddit tho
