A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

$BILLIONS

I mentally read this in the same voice I read $VARIABLE with.

As a Dane, I have always been fucking shocked at the slave-like working conditions Americans work under. They barely get any time off as it is. What do you mean too many holidays?

[–] [email protected] 46 points 6 days ago (9 children)

The worst part is... If you've ever had the pleasure of working with an American company you'll notice just how unproductive they are.

Obviously the two are closely connected, but it's always fascinating to me

That's what they get when you don't fight for your rights.
Look at it now, semi-fascist for half a year and they're still basically singing Kumbaya.
They get what they deserve.

He's right. This year, everybody's gotta work Christmas.

He says on the holiday dedicated to the freeing of the slaves. It’s no coincidence this the one he complains about.

Kind of telling to be complaining about this on a day which celebrates the end of slavery.

King Cuck says no more holidays while golfing his presidency away.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago

See, it's fine when he goes golfing as he doesn't directly contribute anything to his or his pals' wealth. But those workers actually creating wealth, how dare they take days off.

No one is forcing anyone to be closed on holidays! There's no law or rule or anything!

Banks don't have to close and work absolute shit hours because they handle money!

You wanna make more money stay open on holidays.

I work in appliance repair I get the 4th of July, thanksgiving and Christmas and new years.

It sucks. But we make more money.

My sleep deprived brain trying to process the 4th thanksgiving. Like, I only get one and this guy gets 4. I’m going to go to sleep now, you should also invest in some commas. :)

I was thinking he only took Thanksgiving off every 4 years.
