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.
Our Philosophies:
Our Goals
Doesn't tourism help the economy? You gotta give people time off to be the consumers you want them to be.
I know nurses and other government employees who wouldn't want less mandatory holidays off, you're either off or get holiday pay to work on a Monday!
It would be fun to make Trump work a job for 90 days. Nothing major. Maybe answering phones for a help line.
9 to 5 desk job.
Monday through Friday.
If he misses a day he has to "find a new job" and start over.
The dude would fucking CRACK like he was being waterboarded!
Working with people in other countries it really make me jealous they have a notional holiday, seeming every month where the business is closed. Really wish the US had more days like that
Yeah Americans have way too many holidays, like two hole weeks per year!
I mean, compare that to the Europeans with their lousy 5 weeks per year, they never take off!
Okay, grandpa. Time for bed.
You know those tropes in old cartoons where overworked factory workers are given a union-mandated 3-minute lunch break? That's the future of America.
I didn't even get to take off yesterday. Fuck this guy.
Back to the days of peasants petitioning the lord to restore their holy days
We have the least mandated PTO in the developed world and a good portion of the underdeveloped world.
Our federal holidays aren't even days off for most people. Lol
My opinion of him can't be lower but man I keep realizing how fucking stupid his supporters are with every one of his asinine comments.
keep up the talk fat man and we'll have a paid holiday for every finger and toe we cut off.
"the workers don't want it"
The fuck we don't
Imagine being this guy and trying to speak for the working class
And having legal adults stop and think, "Hmm, maybe this day off thing IS kinda woke."
Fellas, is it woke to like holidays?
One of the country with the least amount of paid vacation in the world. And that's the hill he decides to climb on. He excels at making himself look increasingly moronic.
The only reason they don't have a lower amount of mandatory paid vacation is because it is impossible to go below 0.
Said the guy who spends 1/3 of his time golfing
If you want to prevent this from happening get involved in protests and contact your representatives. #nokings #50501
Oh yes, all eleven federal holidays will turn into 365 real soon.
...i'm down for cancelling f*cking christmas; federal holidays should be secular...
...give us the solstices, equinoxes, and earth day and i'm pretty good; throw in labor day and memorial day if you want to bump it up to the private-sector seven...
Sounds like the WH chef staff ran out of chicken nuggies
Soon we'll end up having a holiday for every once working day of the year
Damn! Not that the whole bleat isn't awful, but that's one of the stupidest sentences ever in ALL of the ways! π€¦
He's just very forward thinking. In 14000 years you'll be sorry for not heading this warning!
And the fact he posted this on Juneteenth is just coincidence, right?
"The workers don't want it!"
Some people said basically the exact same thing about slaves. That they liked being slaves.
"MAKE LINE GO UP FOR YOUR OWNERS"
If Trump tries to take away a federal holiday, that might be what makes somebody finally do it.
America produces way more than enough to allow everyone to live comfortably and enjoy life. But the fruits of all that extra productivity is being hoarded by a tiny portion of the population while workers are being increasingly stretched and strained to extract as much value from then as possible while paying them as least as possible.
The scarcity of wealth and the need to always work harder and longer hours to barely make it is an illusion maintained to exploit the workers.
Donβt worry, Don, the βessential workersβ wonβt be affected.
someone do the fuckin deed already, I'm so fuckin sick of this jackass and all his Republican dumbfucks
300 million people can't have a single fucking day off every once in a while because it will "cost billions", while less than 10 people are hoarding over a TRILLION in wealth.
...where there's a whip, there's a way where there's a whip, there's a way. We don't wanna go to war today But the lord of the land says NAY NAY NAY we gonna march alll day, all day, all day.... for where there's a whip there's a way
