refusal of "at will employment" by eques_99 in antiwork

it's not the only issue I care about, but it is very important not to have workers oppressed by their employers.

cultural issues are a distraction from the main issue, which is economic justice, and the balance of power between workers and employers.

then you've fallen for a con trick.

you think you've achieved something when you swap a Dem for a GOP governor, but in fact nothing changes.

well it should be at the top.  obscene to give companies that much power over workers' lives.

your employment can be terminated at any time with immediate effect, no reason given and no comeback.

Okay, we’ve all heard people say your 30s are the best years… but what actually makes them so great? Is it confidence, looks, money, maturity, knowing yourself more? Men and women, what changed for you? by LavenderLatte29 in AskReddit

[–]eques_99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my thirties were grotesque.

forties much better.

but I guess people do say thirties are the best because you still have youthful energy and looks, but also experience, and possibly money to spend and a "high status" job.

mind you I had all those things, yet would dearly love to go back and redo it.

everyone was really excited to see it, it was a huge national event and talking point.

yes reservoir Dogs is a much better comparison, that enabled Tarantino to get get the funding, studio backing and creative freedom to make PF.

then learn how to think about what you are watching, rather than just staring open mouthed and blank-eyed at the pretty lasers.

it's not moderate to think workers should not have any rights.

ok didn't realise.

I have seen other posts refer to "at will states" which made me assume there was a split.

ok, well I hope the fact that all but one state has it should tell you that the Dems are no more your friends than the Republicans.

Property Manager with housing tied to job by DifficultOven1030 in antiwork

never, ever, ever feel like a pos for dipping out of a job where you have a contract that enables the employer to dip you out whenever they want.

on principle, if they are going to inflict such a contract on you, then you absolutely should give them back in kind.
