Remember folks, the company reps you interact with are generally not the ones making the rules they are paid to abide by. They're working for a living, just like us.
With that, calling this an "act of terrorism" is an incredulous overreaction that just goes to show how badly they're shitting their pants right now.
They're part of the machine that sucks the blood of the people. I wouldn't advocate violence, but they're not worthy of our respect.
I've quit jobs because of ethical concerns before, these people don't make a living just like me.
Imagine having the privilege of not having to compromise your morals because you can get a job just like that in this economy
Edit: yes, y'all apparently are rocks or trees. The rest of us need to eat for sustenance and have responsibilities beyond " what news headline will garner my outrage today"
Imagine not compromising my morals cost me a lot. Time after time. But as someone with a strong consciousness, I know it will cost me more to compromise on my personal values. It's just that it's not a monetary cost.
You sound like an economical slave, why do you accept the situation?
Because I need food and shelter otherwise I die.
there is shelter and food, plenty to go around- it's being locked behind an amoral paywall.
do the moral things at your job and get fired over it. make it clear when you apply elsewhere why you were fired.
if we're being forced to choose between doing the right thing and surviving, the system is broken AND those hoarding obscene amounts, living in luxury, making the decisions to further screw customers and employees in the name of investors and executives need to be addressed, one way or another.
...Im not saying any of this is easy, but the other option seems to be just try to be happy with the scraps they let us fight over? no thank you.
I took that job and quit a month in for the same reason. I'd rather be in crippling debt than compromise my morals that badly. I couldn't do it and look at myself in the mirror in the morning.
"I was just following orders."
That's exactly how they want you to think and be.
Angry at those with even a modicum more. But keep doing at Walmart and Amazon and every other conglomerate.
I'd rather be homeless than get paid to kill innocent people.
We learned about individual responsibilities before, the slaying of poors is not just making a living, it's not the corporate entity that is the evil it is the henchmen that have individual rights to say stop just like any soldier that is told to rape and plunder innocents
I am fairly certain insurance claim staff are used to hearing worse.
working for whom ?
