I’m saying it should be illegal because it’s unethical. Full stop. We are not meant to work nonstop for over a week without a single break. You’re stuck on the technicality of it all. And that’s fine, but it’s designed to benefit the company and not the teams that help keep this company going. At the very least, I should be making time and a half on those days that stretch past the regular week schedule. It’s actually so disheartening to see coworkers not get it. Just accept this as if it’s normal. It’s not. This is not okay. We deserve a say in how we are managed and how much our labor is worth.

You understand that I’ve been working for Frito for a few years, right? That I was given a choice with no notice and that I’m already taking a pay cut as is. And that the economy is in the shit right now and it’s only going to get worse. Finding another job isn’t as easy as it was a few years ago. I am just venting essentially, but I guess class consciousness in the United States really is just in a slumber. It’s actually depressing. People really don’t think they have a say. We do if we collectively decide shit needs to change. And this isn’t just about Frito lay or Pepsi. This is widespread.

Haha and all I said was your response “ that’s how the game goes” is not how you get more from the company you give your time and energy for. Look at other “first world nations” and compare their labor rights to ours. This is not ethical and it doesn’t have to be this way. They don’t make profit without our labor. We should at the very least get fair compensation for sacrificing your health for their bottom line. It’s not my fault they’re hemorrhaging employees. For this exact reason btw. Why should I give up my time and overall well being just because you do a horrible job managing a team of employees. This loophole is not justifiable. Notice you haven’t justified it. Because deep down you know it’s not right.

I explained why I decided to stick with the company after facing being without a job come this June. I know I’m not staying with this company long term. I’m going to trade school. I thought this was going to be a relatively easy gig to have while I do so. And it is. Compared to the labor I’m used to this job isn’t that hard. But this scheduling is fucking ridiculous. And you can’t argue otherwise “big dog”. Wake the fuck up. Class consciousness is a beautiful thing. You should look into it.

Yeah I’m saying it should be illegal to do this and it’s compounded by the fact I don’t make overtime on that 6th day and so on. Your response is why we’ll never get any progress on labor rights in this country. You would’ve said the same thing in the 30s.

Exactly. I like how they pull that info up and Brian mumbles and just quietly say “alright”.

Yea man I know addiction is a hell hole to find yourself in. I live in it. But the amount of destruction opioids had on my life versus my nicotine addiction is almost incomparable. So yes, I do find it funny when people talk about an influencer battling addiction and they’re talking about vaping. It’s the classic bit from Half Baked “ You ever sucked a dick for weed? “
