Yeah, I’ll just say if I’m working, I just don’t wanna hear politics brought up at all. I’d rather focus on work or maybe small talk. I don’t wanna end up in a scenario where I expose my political views only to find I’ve made enemies with the wrong people in a company or group.
HA as much as im amused by the idea of being in the radical politics generation i agree with this, politics dont belong in the workplace & it’s better to shut it down & not. also jesus christ politics are polarized sometimes, why the hell would anyone LGBTQ want to befriend somebody who holds the opinion all trans people are pedos?
I do but only with people I’ve actually made friends with who I’m pretty sure will either agree with me or at least respect my point of view. I’ll share mildly political articles in discussion groups for those specific things at work sometimes, but those are places where people have specifically opted in to hearing about them and are interested in the topics.
The problem is that our campaign finance laws allow for this to happen, which makes it a virtual necessity for every politician who wants to have a shot at winning office. Still, I will continue to hold even my favored politicians accountable for their actions, regardless of who they’re in bed with. It’s ulimately their choice to trade our futures for short-term corporate gains.
I’ve watched the Legal Eagle on YouTube, and what seems to usually happen is that the damages, regardless of whatever the jury says, oftentimes have maximums that they have to be knocked down to. The point of aiming that high seems to be for the jury to send a message. After that, IIRC, even though they’ll never be able to pay it all back, their wages will be garnished effectively for the rest of their life. Given that most Americans, who haven’t been convicted of a felony, have trouble living paycheck to paycheck? Not to mention the fact that your average felon is never going to get a job worth a damn again, if at all?
Basically if this guy ever gets out of jail (what she won’t with all those life sentences) he won’t really have any prospects in life whatsoever. I’m not really a fan of that second part. But our “justice” system is all about punishment, not reform, no matter what they may tell you on TV.
You can’t garnish wages in Texas state cases unless it’s for child support. The US Code allows for it in federal cases, but it’s mostly in case this guy gets money on a book deal or something insane like that.
Meanwhile said CEO is the one that intentionally promotes ‘clueless’ people (Read overtly offensive) people as leaders and then paints the workers that are coerced to humor them as in the wrong when they don’t put up with it.
Have you ever actually watched Channel 4? They’re one of the more progressive voices in UK media, I very much doubt that their management are all secretly bigots behind the scenes.
Kids! They’re lazy, narcissistic, and disrespectful — or so says the older generation. But when you look back through history, you’ll discover that older generations have been saying a version of the same thing for thousands of years. Our question is: Why? And we found an answer.
Boss clearly isn't online much to see their content.
I've worked with Gen-Zers and have never seen this specific issue. Sounds like another example of a boss so removed from workers that their "insights" aren't based on experiences, but rather on that deadly combo of the tendency of older generations to negatively see generational changes, and that corporate group think where they try to justify not paying their workers their value.
It also sounds like a touch of the corporate group think where they forgot how much their employers had to teach them on the job, and how much they don't want to continue doing that.
I’m reading this thread comments and it seems that Gen Z has decided that it can’t be their social skills - it must be the other older generation that is flawed.
Interesting.
Also a lot of comments how older generations have character flaws that do not exist in their own generation.
Even more interesting.
I guess gen Z is just the best generation so far, according to themselves. :)
Most of the guys I know in any form of manual labor jobs are the kind of guys that would rather die than wear a mask to protect themselves or others from anything, so this not even slightly surprising to see.
Wonderful. My pa was pretty smart when thinking about moving to the hill country of Texas. He had concerns that the mass inflow of people was going to cause problems due to lack of water. I’m surprised that it wasn’t the farms and houses and golf courses that will bring us to the loss of our sources of fresh water. Yay greedy oil companies.
