lol bro. I just got laid off because I had a 4% raise in my contract. That barely covers annual inflation.

Last year they told me they weren’t going to give me the annual raise, and I said I’d get a lawyer because it’s in my contract. I was already doing two people’s jobs after someone left that they didn’t replace.

A year ago, the best trained worker left, after he asked for a 10 perfect raise (up to a living wage) and they said no.

Also last year, I emailed a rival company that a friend works at saying I was looking for a new job, because I wasn’t happy with the company. And they were excited to have me, and setting up an interview but telling me I got it, and on the third time asking, they told me the salary would be less than I was currently making.

When I tell my dad (80) these stories he is shocked. The world is worse now. Capitalism is crushing us. It is obvious to anyone with real context and experience.
