Taking away your labor power from chucklefucks who use the sweat of your brow to continue to oppress you is good praxis.
People talk about boycotting by not buying things from certain companies, but not enough people commit to not giving their labor to those companies in exchange for a paycheck. That’s a boycott, too. When you’re working for them, you’re literally helping them believe the dumbfuck shit they believe, and allowing them to use their financial largess to influence the media to promote their dumbfuck bullshit.
Standing up for the people who no longer are “economically viable” means something. But go ahead, let your boss say your parents should just die when they’re too damaged to work. Laugh with them about it. Go ahead and be a callous asshole who won’t stand up for someone who can’t stand up for themselves.
How is this “standing up” for anything. They said the owner of the company was cool. Their boss will remain employed and making decisions and money for the company.
This resulted in literally 0 consequences for them, other than probably hiring an employee that won’t push back on anything.
Hiring and training a new employee when the person you would expect to train a new employee just quit without notice isn’t as cost-effective as you might think.
If you have a spate of employees leaving over such bad behavior a good owner might be asking questions about high turnover, where your standard owner could give a shit about turnover anyway. They’ll hire meth addled freaks as long as they’re dealing with people with zero self respect. It really doesn’t work out too great in the long run.
If you have a spate of employees leaving over such bad behavior
Lol, only OP is leaving over that behavior. 99% of people would not leave a company because of that. Just look at the other comments in here. Getting a new job is stressful and not everyone has great job markets to look in. This incident would be basically nothing for the vast vast majority of workers and leaving over something like this would be way more stressful than just staying. Especially if the owner was as cool as OP stated.
…hiring an employee that won’t push back on anything.
Thats the problem. For every worker who demands the respect and dignity they deserve there’s a thousand other workers that have already been beaten into submission. The hope is that those “beaten workers” remember they can “stand up for themselves” when they see others do it.
