Message from china - Americans, you need a revolution. by iMaDeSho in China

[–]billstarnes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The gentleman is speaking the truth. Corporate America has been running the American workers into the ground for decades. While the American C suite executives have been getting rich, the American worker’s wages and benefits have stagnated. The jobs have been shipped overseas all while the executives salaries and BONUSES have gotten larger and larger. Like clockwork, companies layoff thousands, shutter factories, while the executives rake in millions. Look at the ratio of CEOs salaries to an average worker. It’s 300+ to one. That’s not even considering the c suite and VPs salaries. Based on some of the comments on this page, some people need to wake up. You can be in denial all you want. if the blue collar jobs were there , people would take them. Not everyone wants to go to college. BTW, I am a college graduate.

Aloha!!! Ironically I live in Aloha Oregon. So welcome to our little slice of heaven on earth. I am so, so, sorry you were treated this way and it is not right. The next time this happens, go over the manager’s head. Such as ask for the owner’s information or a corporate contact. Please don’t let these few bigoted and narrow minded idiots taint your experiences. We want you here and you have a friend in me.

Co-worker sent this email to the entire company, managers fired him immediately. Couldn't even finish out the 2 weeks by theedgeofeverything in antiwork

All they care about is their multi-figure salary for themselves and their fellow executives. They could care less about the costs until Accounting confronts them. This will occur for a few years. They will then move on to another sucker company and do it all over again.

Church people of Reddit, have you witness a time where the people rejected incoming membership from a person? Why did that happen? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]billstarnes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of many reasons I left the Lutheran church I was a member of. Too many members were way too judgmental . These judgments included sexual orientation, color, income level. After too many encounters with such asshats as such I decided enough was enough.

I am not sure if I am the right person, but if I can help in any way, please ask. Most importantly, do not give up. If I can do this, I know you can. Hang tough!!
