This is like that scene in Dredd where the dude shoots up a mall full of people and the loudspeaker announces that the mall will reopen in 30 minutes after the zamboni cleans up the pools of blood

marx never considered that the proletariat would derive pleasure from being slaves to the bourgeois.

Raere posted:On what planet does it make sense to penalize the cleaning staff for hotel stuff going missing? Just, I don’t know, charge the guest? I was told once that a local sports bar had a practice for ordering drinks that involved the waitress actually buying the drinks herself and then getting the money back when the bill was paid, in case she dropped them/ people ran out without paying. I'm not sure how true it is, but nothing surprises me anymore

lol just lol if I ever have a boss who thinks I'm gonna work from my bed or something When I worked as a carwash manager, I got a phone call from my district manager one night. He said "hey uh I was just checking the dashboard while I'm watching TV and noticed you have one person too many on the clock for production numbers, what's up?" And I was like "why the hell are you checking work poo poo at home off the clock????"

Strudel Man posted:Yeah. I get your claim, but it's really not the case here. Infant mortality, educational attainment, percentage of population with real income above certain fixed poverty thresholds, et cetera are all improved pretty strongly in the last few decades across the developing world. That's real. People in Africa are now surviving off $2 instead of $0.75 and are now off that stupid loving extreme poverty stat. Capitalism wins!

I dont know if Dominos still does this, but when I was a driver they would make us pay for it if the customer did a chargeback on a credit card order. Theres nothing like losing a day or two worth of pay. Capitalism is great y'all. e: also has was over $4/gal and we got $0.75 per delivery Marxalot has issued a correction as of 14:28 on Jul 15, 2018 |

I cannot believe that our factory system is the best mode by which men may get clothing. The condition of the operatives is becoming every day more like that of the English; and it cannot be wondered at, since, as far as I have heard or observed, the principal object is, not that mankind may be well and honestly clad, but, unquestionably, that corporations may be enriched. In the long run men hit only what they aim at. Therefore, though they should fail immediately, they had better aim at something high. Thoreau

It was long past noon when he awoke. His valet had crept several times on tiptoe into the room to see if he was stirring, and had wondered what made his young master sleep so late. Finally his bell sounded, and Victor came in softly with a cup of tea, and a pile of letters, on a small tray of old Sevres china, and drew back the olive-satin curtains, with their shimmering blue lining, that hung in front of the three tall windows. "Monsieur has well slept this morning," he said, smiling. "What o'clock is it, Victor?" asked Dorian Gray drowsily. "One hour and a quarter, Monsieur." How late it was! He sat up, and having sipped some tea, turned over his letters. One of them was from Lord Henry, and had been brought by hand that morning. He hesitated for a moment, and then put it aside. The others he opened listlessly. They contained the usual collection of cards, invitations to dinner, tickets for private views, programmes of charity concerts, and the like that are showered on fashionable young men every morning during the season. There was a rather heavy bill for a chased silver Louis-Quinze toilet-set that he had not yet had the courage to send on to his guardians, who were extremely old-fashioned people and did not realize that we live in an age when unnecessary things are our only necessities; and there were several very courteously worded communications from Jermyn Street money-lenders offering to advance any sum of money at a moment's notice and at the most reasonable rates of interest. After about ten minutes he got up, and throwing on an elaborate dressing-gown of silk-embroidered cashmere wool, passed into the onyx-paved bathroom. The cool water refreshed him after his long sleep. He seemed to have forgotten all that he had gone through. A dim sense of having taken part in some strange tragedy came to him once or twice, but there was the unreality of a dream about it.

my carwash job frowned real hard on calling in sick or even using your vacation days. In fact, managers (who were salaried) were strongly encouraged to use their vacation days to pad their weekly averages over 50 instead of taking time off. I had an assistant manager who was real fuckin nosy tell me I needed to start staying late because my weekly average was like 48.75 instead of 50 and I was like "hmmmm actually my hours are none of your business so gently caress off?"

It always seems to go like this: "Thing is bad." "Thing is bad, but better than it was before." "How loving dare you say thing is good!" That's all. I was making a sincere response to your sincere post and didn't think you were jumping down my throat at all .
