"No, I'm afraid I have no idea how the fryer caught on fire. Or why HR's door was blocked by the latest shipment. Or why the truck that delivered that shipment happened to have broken down while barring HR's window. It's all very unfortunate."
It's simple really, a universal rule: "You get out of it, what you put in to it".
This applies to stuff like LLM's (shiity prompts give shitty output), but also to relationships and especially company-worker relationships. There's this time old saying "The boss makes a dollar, I make a dime. That's why I poop on company time". So this is not something new.
What has changed is that companies have calculated the "pooping on campany time" into their calculations now. They expect their workers to deliver the least acceptable amount of effort. It is a calculated risk, a business model. So if you do that, you are just playing by their rules. Fuck their rules! Burn that motherfucker down! Organize! Show them that this is not how you treat people and that employees are people and that there are more employees that boss's.
I do agree with the message overall, but the "You get out of it, what you put in to it" part is just another "you are responsible if you don't get enough tips anyway" situation and is just not true.
I see how it can be interpreted that way, but that's not how I meant it. It is clearly not flawless.
I meant it from the perspective of an employer. If you want a good workforce that puts in effort, a worforce of probkem solvers that want to help the company be th best it can be. Than you gotta put effort into those employees, offer them the oppertunities to be th best they can be, that includes things like a good base salary, security, support.
Sort of the difference between the Rhineland model and the Algosaxon model of organisation.
Ah yeah that makes more sense
I feel like you should append your prior comment with this good clarification!
Is it time yet?
i wish😞
Just takes a few people to get it started.
You would need a billion and the infrastructure to get started. You can't get to that point because AI powered surveillance
Very in-character comment, well done.
For a moment my brain thought "Mazel tov Cocktail."
Molotov is a different word.
LOLz funny to see I'm not the only one who's mixed up those words, but on broadcast news journalism?! That's rich.
That's what happens when you rely on bad speech-to-text software.
Mazel Tov and molotov have about the same similarity as "casual" and "kale"
Well now I want to know what you use a Mazel tov cocktail for...
Is that the traditional drinking variety?
Only if it’s Manischewitz brand.
haha rich people want to kill us all
Yep.
"Italian prosecutors opened an investigation earlier this month into allegations that wealthy foreigners had paid to shoot at civilians during the siege of Sarajevo.
That followed a complaint by an Italian writer who had seen the 2022 Slovenian documentary film, Sarajevo Safari, which was the source of the allegations.
Italians and others are alleged by writer Ezio Gavazzeni to have paid large sums to go on "sniper safaris" and shoot at civilians in the besieged city of Sarajevo during the war in the early 1990s"
It's why I so badly want to break out of the system and disappear. It is actively malevolent, made by people who don't want us here, yet want the work we bring.
It is pointlessly cruel and rigged, and I don't want to play their game, so I invest my money wisely.
Turning into the Joker seems like an odd choice. Visually it works very well, but I would look for something more like Fight Club.
The movie about a mentally ill man who set out to destroy the society that wronged him is much better than the movie about a mentally ill man who set out to destroy the society that wronged him.
Joker was always just an odd criminal trying to make a buck in his original incantation. I guess I still picture him like that.
He also pays his taxes which makes him far better than most rich people.
yeah bats is one thing, the irs (used to be) another.
original ~~incantation~~ incarnation
FIght club is cool, Joker is pathetic
There's no faster, easily recognizable way to depict "radicalization" than clown makeup, even if you don't know the movies or Joker lore, it makes a strong point. I don't know what iconic signifier you could draw from Fight Club that would make readers go "Aahh she's fed up, even the people you least expect have a breaking point."
Ah, I thought they just felt like, and so were depicted as, a clown. Yeah that really did not work for me.
Settle out of court for a pittance
Why‽
Pay legal fees
The assaulter would pay this.
¿Teach myself a lesson?
That self-sabotage is bad‽
Sorry, I got the context wrong then. I read some of your comments in this post and got the gist that you would be suing the customer and not your employer for negating a living wage. In that case it is possible to win in court. I am glad you got yourself justice as you said in another chain.
Oh, the employer I wrote down what to humble them with on point #2.
catador_de_potos choose a 2-panel format to convey different scenes, for a total of 4 scenes.
Scene one is clearly an assulter that needs to pay for their crimes.
Scene two requires a little bit more creativity for our protagonist to acquire her living “wage.”
Why would you sue for assault? That's a criminal case.
I am assuming our protagonist didn't immediately file a police report, and got herself a lawyer.
After the shock she would get her bearings straighten out.
Have you ever done this, or seen it happen successfully?
All of them? Yes, I am an anarchist.
This hits so hard.
