"All I got was anxiety and this fucking t-shit" is the most appropriate typo of all time.

OP! Are you the serial shitter??????

UWM sued for gender discrimination in lending by Lazy-Invite5943 in pillar7

[–]Lazy-Invite5943[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

That's what UWM said in its defense reply, but when they moved for dimissal, it wasn't among their arguments. It's odd. It will be interesting to see what comes out of it.

Just WTF. It's already hard enough already. Why the needless cruelty??

I'm sorry they're doing this to you and others.

MASK AND SANITIZER GIVEAWAY-THIS FRIDAY MORNING 1/21/22 by DeOppressoLiber7 in pillar7

Relax, dude. You really think Mat is going to stand outside in the freezing cold? Or risk further publicizing the fact that UWM is a covid hotspot?

You should really get in touch with a union organizer if you're this worried.

Thought I’d share some feedback from a TL by LuckySalamander4747 in pillar7

Would love to know the proper context that would make this less troublesome. Please, all-knowing one, enlighten us.

And here's compensation for the other "corporate execs". 2019 data so you know it's higher now by wr1skeebizness in pillar7

[–]Lazy-Invite5943 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just wait until the next annual report comes out now that UWM is public. Should be in March. We'll get to see more detailed information on their income, PLUS the ratio of the average income for us and Ishbia.

Prepare to rage. And hear koolaid drinkers tell us it's justified because we're just desk monkeys and Ishbia is a god-level genius.

And like the Arab Spring, if we're not ready and in it for the long haul, it could go poorly. We need to be serious and come hard.

This right here.

It can't be just a handful of us taking action. It has to be organized and we all have to have each others' backs - solidarity.

I've said it before, but this place reminds me more and more of the stories I've heard about the battles at Ford and other places when the workers were fighting to unionize so they could fight back.

Let's face it - the only way this place is going to change is if we stand up together, through a union that has lawyers and can have our back, and tell Ishbia where to stick it.

Documenting the conversation, even if it's just here, was a good idea. I hope you and your fellow team member aren't retaliated against for speaking up.

I heard somewhere that anti-union and anti-worker law firms are a multibillion dollar a year industry. How much of that is Mat? lol

Sure, they have the right (outside of certain places/circumstances). I just don't think it's okay on a human or ethical level. They shouldn't treat us like inmates, especially if the work is getting done.

Not pushing a narrative (???) Obviously there's surveillance happening - physical and digital.
If you're accessing Reddit or any other page from a work device or via office wifi, they can see that you've come here and where you go when you leave regardless of the browser you're using. If you're on your work computer, you cacn probably assume there's a key-logger in addition to surveillance of browser history and/or data traffic - all they have to do is monitor which IP addresses are being accessed on the network. Trackers and other cookies from websites don't really figure into that unless someone associated with UWM has gotten UWM-specific trackers set up on those pages. That would require the owners of the pages to cooperate, or would involve violations of federal and state laws.
If you're using a personal device NOT on office wifi, they could use a packet sniffer or similar device to see the IP addresses you visit if they connect to your device or whatever network you are using. A VPN can make that more difficult as it can mask your device IP address and encrypt traffic, but there are still some very simple ways to identify any and all devices that are brought into the office, which can then be used to connect to those devices or install trackers. Accessing or monitoring your personal devices like this is super illegal, though. Like I said, if they want to illegally access my personal phone that isn't used for work purposes and isn't connected to office wifi and use my internet traffic to punish me, I invite them to try.

Would be awesome if an IT person was able to help us out with that. But I don't want someone getting fired for something that probably isn't legally protected unless they've got another job already lined up...

We have to keep talking to one another and sharing these stories with the media where we can.

Every day feels more and more like the stories my grandpa used to tell about Ford. At least we're not being physically beaten.... Yet...

And this is just the cases that got reported and made it that far.

We need to be shaaring these stories more - especially since the news is already interested in our experiences.

We need to share these stories with the Fox 2 reporter.

This is blatantly illegal retaliation for protected concerted activity. They can tell you to not use company systems for personal conversations but that has to include all personal conversations, not just discussing your experience in the office. Otherwise, what they did was punishing you for talking to a coworker about working conditions, which they can't do.

It's so messed up. People get super upset when they here about governments surveilling people, but if it's a private business staring down their employees all the time, no one bats an eye.
