And I mean like Cartoon pop teleport sound effect “Huh? What happened to my job?”
(American version) Hand out union flyers in the break room.
(UK) Last time I started in a unioned job the company (voluntarily?) told me about it during my induction, there were flyers in the break room, a poster in the break room with a named representative on my floor (a regular worker like me, it was voluntary) and official rep who I could call. Maybe once or twice a year the union did a presentation in a meeting room at the office and you could could take the hour (unpaid) to go and watch, after which you were encouraged to sign up. Semi regular emails through the year to my company email address about pay and bonus negotiation etc.
you get the flyers from the company. unless its a non-union site, in which case you will usually have to climb over the picket line to get in. the one at tesla is coming up on 15 months now, the union have signalled that they have the funds to keep the strike going while paying every worker 125% salary for another… 200 years.
How do you know the union is working for you as opposed to for the good of the company?
There was one case where the company selected a union in the US that doesn’t give the workers much if anything
Worked in the UK, when I started my job I was given lots of hr forms, contract, info about benefits and leaflets for each of the two main unions that covered our workplace. If there was ever any issues, our line managers would remind us of our right to have a union rep present for meetings with management.
Support Palestinian liberation in any meaningful way. 😔
Maybe just keep politics out of work?
I can’t stand anyone bringing up anything political at work - regardless of which “side”. It’s irrelevant and a distraction - I got shit to do.
So if you got shitcanned for it, you’ll get zero sympathy from me.
People that insist on keeping politics out of the workplace are the exact same type of people that work for less money than their peers for the military industrial complex, making missiles that turn brown people into hamburger. I find that they also tend to universally hold this grind-culture delusion that rich people are innately better people that earned their wealth and the poor are lazy, stupid scum that deserve to be exterminated and oppressed at every turn.
Politics is humanity.
If you actively encourage others to willingly eschew their freedom of speech or unquestioningly do work that results in the violent murder of innocent strangers without so much as a twinge of guilt in your mind, you are a scab with absolutely no spine and your opinion means jack shit to me.
I’m over 50 I’ve had numerous jobs and I’ve never had a job where the people at that workplace would wanna hear my political opinions. It’s understood you keep your politics out of the workplace. If that means you have no respect for me well so be it. But no one wants to hear your opinion at the workplace and no one wants to hear mine the workplace.
Maybe in your country it’s acceptable, but I’ve had jobs throughout a number of states in the US never had a job where it was acceptable.
As for freedom of speech. Yeah your freedom of speech only applies to what the government can do about you saying something.
Has nothing to do with how your coworkers view you or treat you.
Work is for work, not for political bullshit.
Political bullshit is alway divisive, and we all work too damn hard to build cohesive teams.
I’ve seen it many times - if you’re one of those that is compelled to bring outside bullshit to work, where we have enough actual related issues to contend with, you’ll be left behind. People won’t want to work with you, I because you’re not a team player and more interested in discussing political crap (or reality TV crap, or whatever) than discussing the very real issues in front of us.
We already don’t have enough time for the tasks at hand, last thing we need is such juvenile nonsense.
You want to talk politics, do it on your break, away from me.
And your freedom of speech bullshit argument is nothing more than a sophistry tactic known as a strawman. This reveals you to be a sophist, not interested in discovering truth, but rather in winning an argument.
You even led with castigating me, and continued on with denigrating.
You should probably revisit your intentions and ethics.
Wow.
- aggression
- ‘people that’ (not who? objectification)
- ‘cuck’
- people who disagree with you are coincidentally war criminal facilitators.
Is this reddit?
A lot of times you can’t avoid bringing up politics. For example, let’s say you’re a person whose rights are under attack in the US, like a trans person. Talking about the threats to your existence and how you’re worried that it’ll become legal to discriminate against you is “politics”, so you’re stuck in the position of “let these attacks happen and don’t speak up about it, thus ensuring things get worse” or speak up and risk your job.
With many subjects, I agree. But there are other subjects that have been politicized, which really shouldn’t have been. Someone’s sexual orientation shouldn’t be a matter of political debate. If a gay guy mentions their husband, that’s not “bringing up politics”, but many conservatives will treat it as such. I’ve heard all of the “shoving it in my face” comments just because someone dared to mention their partner when asked how their weekend was. In reality, that person is simply existing, and peoples’ existence should never be a matter of political debate.
What does iskaied mean
Isekai, Japanese for different world, is a genre of media usually about someone being teleported from the mundane world to a fantastical one.
I know someone who was fired after responding to a Slack message with an emoji that was interpreted as critical of the CEO of the company, lol. The emoji wasn’t offensive or anything, it was just showing support for the message which was if I remember correctly was jokingly criticizing the CEO. I think the employee took up a legal battle after that.
I think it depends on the job and the culture you are in, how replaceable you are, etc. as to how to be instantly fired. I know people who have made mistakes in their job that cost the company lots of money and they weren’t fired. I know people who watched TV all day in the open office environment in full view and who weren’t fired.

Yeah, but those things are not blows to the CEOs fragile ego like a good old misunderstanding can be.
Bitcoin miner on the computers without permission. (Saw it happen once.)
We lost a guy who received verbal agreement on running Folding@Home, but didn’t have it on paper. It was a large private cloud (data center).
When I worked at CompUSA I would install Folding@Home on all the display computers. I don’t think anyone ever noticed.
