Alright as someone who has seen this happen… Don’t. Fist off, if the employee doesn’t already know what the benefits of a union are and how to go about organizing one, this does nothing to change that. Second, it puts them in a dangerous position with management. Obviously, any good Union drive should be fully prepared for union busting tactics, but ideally you want to keep that shit secret from management for as long as possible. And imagine how frustrated you’d be if a customer pulling a stunt like this got you fired.
Instead what you want to do is talk to your family, friends, and coworkers about what a union can do for them and talk about how to effectively organize a union drive. Make sure that shit is led by the workers, and puts forward strong demands and escalating tactics. They should also absolutely get community support, but in organized, meaningful ways - think things like mailing lists to get the word out about rallies, boycotts, etc.
Unions are hell of a tool and they should be organized in the most effective possible ways.
The emotion in this image. The way it creates such a complex yet, thought provoking story. This master piece challenges our perception the anarchnoid race. Here, we have a human that has purchased products designed to murder spiders that they don’t know. But one lone spider puts themselves between the man and the weapon. This spider could be saving anyone. It’s parents, it’s wife, it’s children. We don’t know but what we do know is that this spider is not afraid. Makes you wonder who the real vermin is here.
As someone who resides in a rainforest, I see this spider as an ally. He is a fierce hunter that hides away most of the day, and hunts down cockroaches during the night.
At this point I’ve come to cherish the moments that I get to cross paths with these creatures. Our interactions are never negative, and I am grateful to be allied with such a peaceful sentinel.
That said, I believe a person’s home is their castle and if the flames must be thrown, so be it.
Yes, but this looks like a wolf spider. Wolf spiders are yard spiders that run very very fast and therefore are required to stay in the yard. It is the law. There's nothing I can do about it.
(Or it's my childhood trauma. It's definitely one of those things...)
But those same people don’t work in office either, they just walk around and bullshit all day.
I am way more productive at home than I am in office. Partly purposefully out of spite, and partly because my home work space is better in every way than my office environment. Quieter, more comfortable, better equipment, better internet, even better resilience because of my UPSes.
++ for brother. Still running my mfc j470 ink jet purchased in 2013. I purchased it because of their support of Linux and Android. I’ve NEVER used official ink cartridges besides what came with it. it’s printed 6900 pages
I have a brother B&W laser printer but for anyone looking for a new printer, be wary of brother. Their latest firmware stops the allowance of 3rd party toner/ink cartridges. It’s disappointing because I’ve been a big proponent of theirs for years. Haven’t bought toner since 2019 on our printer.
Brother it is! I have a laser combo scanner printer MFC thingy, I guess from around 2010 or so, still works like a charm as a network device. I buy a third party toner every three years and that’s it.
Maybe so, but proving without any possible doubt that was the cause is the burden of the fired employee, who also likely doesnt have money for a lawyer, let alone court fees to persue the case in the first place.
This difficulty is only amplified in at-will employment areas where your boss can fire you on the spot for no reason at all.
Its as if the system was built from the ground up to benefit businesses over people.
So if the employee was fired on the spot, that would pretty much guarantee a win in most states unless the boss could show that they had already planned to fire them before they shouted “unionize”.
If the boss fired them a month later, that would be a different story. But yeah, the rest of that is valid.
Totally bullshit. When I’m in the office I’m constantly approached by coworkers wanting to chit chat. Sometimes even when I’m in a Teams meeting with headphones on.
I probably do the same if not more work at home as I did in the office, but only “work” about 2/3 of the time.
I don’t have a boss lecture me on blockchain for an hour because they were near my desk, I don’t need to listen to Carla’s story about her flat tyre, I don’t need to get constantly distracted when I’m deep in an analysis hole because someone on maternity leave has walked in with their new baby.
The time spent caught up in boring distractions is used to put on some washing, set the roomba going, or put a pot roast in the oven freeing up more time to just chill out later on and I still get everything done.
Never mind the 2 hours a day of commuting time I get back.
I’ve never seen all three at once though. Are you sure they aren’t all the same thing? It could be government psyops to convince you dogs and burgers aren’t the same person
If only there was an objective way to measure the productivity of a commercial enterprise… like with money… oh wait, they have been making MORE money? With LESS productive workers? Curious
Uggg. Ransom is a great way to phrase it. I hate having app’s from the store and they “upgrade” to a subscription service leaving the licensed folks in the cold with no app updates. :/
there’s a software that I own a perpetual license for called “Clip Studio Paint” and they got around that license like scumbags by refusing to provide more updates and making a new software called “Clip Studio Paint 2.0” which was essentially the same software, just without perpetual licenses available… even then, I had already paid a lot and would have had to AGAIN. talk about scum of the earth
