Employee suffering may not be the main goal of capitalism, but it sure helps!
It makes the boomers feel nice on the inside.
Especially the no sitting rule, they fucking love that one. It’s almost as good as the suppressed wages.
I had a coworker (cashier) who did her job well, but who didn’t kiss ass. One day, she broke her leg. A few weeks later, one of the cashiers who cozied up to management went off to Cuba and came back with brand new breast implants.
Guess which one was provided a stool and which one had to somehow stand throughout her entire shift. 🙃
(Btw, this was in Florida, or as I called it, the Wild Wild South. This was only the tip of the somehow-legal worker abuse I’ve witnessed. Other examples include a workplace that segregated all its young, black, male employees into the un-air conditioned lumber yard, and that color-coded its uniform differently for disabled employees.)
Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
Retail middle management, of course!
Even before legalisation in Canada, drug testing for retail wasn’t a thing (at least in my experience).
I can’t fathom working retail without weed. Should be against the Geneva convention or something.
