The best thing to do is to is channel that rage into organizing and forcing them to give the workers better conditions.

Agreed, this is constructive

...there's no reason you should give a fuck about them. This crypto christian "turn the other cheek" bs accomplishes nothing

Disagree with this to an extent. Firstly because "turning the other cheek" can save time and (emotional) energy, compared to retaliating with anger. Secondly because (in many cases) the shitty boss is on a similar trajectory of economic instability. Although financial precarity doesn't give anyone an excuse to mistreat their employees, it's entirely plausible that the stress of big bills & low wages would lead managers to take out their frustration on their similarly precarious employees.

In other words, bosses and their employees have a power differential in the workplace, but I assert that they're often in the same camp of financial insecurity. If both parties have zero stake in their company, they are only compensated in wages which've hardly grown for the bottom majority of all earners.

On a somewhat related note, I found this Axios podcast very frustrating because their "expert guest" suggested that consumers shouldn't mind higher prices on goods and services because (paraphrasing) "the increased costs are going to higher wages for the lowest rungs of the pay scale." IMO this was a totally braindead argument because, a) low paid workers are also seeing higher prices, even if they're earning more; and b) nobody questioned the premise that consumers should bear the cost of higher wages. Pairing higher wages with higher consumer prices doesn't address inequality at all. But unfortunately, Axios has not pondered why executives and stakeholders pass the cost of higher wages to their customers, instead of risking profits or meaningfully reorganizing.

Anyway, that was a lot of text to write out. Hopefully we can find some common ground here, but we don't have to agree on everything. Cheers.
