I also work in Finance and it is the most frustrating shit. If these people who don’t do anything weren’t actively meddling in the work of people who do, things would be better off.

They know the top earners will scab if they wait long enough.

I think the pivot to the right in the white working class is overstated. These people overwhelmingly live vastly more comfortable existences than minorities of the same status. These people were always right wing socially, they can afford to vote on social issues (broadly, speaking). When you use college education as the dividing line, you obscure the dynamics.

I’m betting they make a deal. As insulting as UPS’ initial counter was, they want to start from as strong a place as possible so they can screw over workers no matter where they settle.

There’s value in a feedback loop but not if it’s just gonna be handwaved.

Non-algorithmic ordering, auto-collapse replies after a certain user-preferred setting.

Yeah, it’s an interesting process for sure. I took an Org Leadership course as part of my MS and it seems like it was an idea born out of good intentions with real promise that has (of course) been weaponized and turned against workers because everything is. You’re really supposed to use it to find low-hanging fruit to fix to keep the workers happy. But nobody does that.

Report them to the government. It’s probably pointless but it will make some director’s life hard maybe for a couple days.

 

I am so sick of employee engagement surveys and the resulting exercise in futility around soliciting changes that never get made. It’s honestly one of the more evil and deceitful processes that capitalism and academia have ever teamed up to create.

 

Gonna have to go with the Saturn. Guardian Heroes is life.
