RE: https://makai.chaotic.ninja/notes/a1zhd2j6mq

this is what they took from you

@Kyonko802@varishangout.net @EdBoatConnoisseur@poa.st @cowanon@nicecrew.digital @redneonglow@varishangout.net Basically as long as you weren't "starting shit" with other coworkers, stealing (hard to do here, but some attempted), or literally spending every day doing nothing but having to ask coworkers how to do the most basic shit, it was very hard to get fired at my old job.

By the time I left they were starting to crack down on people faking work because it was becoming notorious that some people were faking doing work to unreal degrees.

@Kyonko802@varishangout.net @EdBoatConnoisseur@poa.st @cowanon@nicecrew.digital @redneonglow@varishangout.net oh my job wanted people to "volunteer" a lot when the numbers were down in the wrong metrics.

We have too much stuff sitting here we need someone to come in and fix the numbers and do overtime, thankfully one coworker who was notoriously slacking off gave me good advice: "You don't need to come in for overtime here".

@Kyonko802@varishangout.net @cowanon@nicecrew.digital @redneonglow@varishangout.net My old job had 12 hour shifts that were brutal but only due to the working conditions and the "rotating them" where one week was 4 12 hour shifts and one was 3, also the job was a bit of a drive and I didn't have much in the way of social interaction there.

@Kyonko802@varishangout.net @cowanon@nicecrew.digital @redneonglow@varishangout.net I'm not even talking about that solely, I'm talking about "Jailhouse Gay".

https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Jailhouse%20Gay

Essentially it's referring to men who are straight/bi, but finding out that the only people they can relate to/fall in love with are also men who share the same interests/hobbies. It's far easier to meet a nerd online into the same hobbies than it is to meet a woman into the same things you are, especially when "office lady" culture is involved, and when the stereotype of "catty wife who shits on your interests" exists.

You know, the boomers who talk about the wife wanting him to sell the project car, or tech nerds angry the nerd is spending time with his projects and not the wife.

@Kyonko802@varishangout.net @cowanon@nicecrew.digital @redneonglow@varishangout.net It's efficient in terms of pencil pushers.

Sure, you're driving a ton there and back. Sure you're driving possibly hours each day, depending on the kind of low-wage job you got. But thanks to labor rules, they have to pay overtime after 40 hours, healthcare after 29 hours, and whatnot.

So you have less pay, a demoralized workforce, healthcare you're having to get from the ACA market or some shit instead of being able to "take some out of your paycheck" (still above "lol good luck finding a doctor" with medicaid), and more turnover relying on whatever wagie will fall for this job next because the job market is full of HR people rejecting your resume.

But their bottom line is, "do we need to pay benefits" and "how can we avoid paying employees as much as possible".

@Kyonko802@varishangout.net @cowanon@nicecrew.digital @redneonglow@varishangout.net I'm convinced the incel mindset (not even by people members of that "community" but overall) is why some people end up in bad/high risk behavior patterns.

Especially if loneliness is involved along with desperation.
