Sedisp posted:The unwillingness to go to jail in hopes that the outcome will be similar to the Postal strike of 1970 as opposed to Reagan taking a scythe through the ATC union is SUCH a petty thing to be concerned about! Prior to that strike the federal government workforce regularly engaged in illegal strikes. It happened multiple times a year in offices small and large. The "you learned your lesson" narrative that was created after the ATC union strike was convenient and helpful to just one group of people.

It has nothing to do with learning a lesson it has everything to do with creating and enforcing existing laws with more rigor to put fear into the membership to make organizing them much MUCH harder in an already union unfriendly environment.

Not a Children posted:God drat that's depressing Well, nobody wants to see themselves as irrelevant, or not useful. I get the problem with seeing work as the only way to have value, but I think these folks are talking more about skills/professions. Like, being a teacher is an awesome thing that has you connected to your community in a very real way. I can totally understand missing that.

I am watching The Corporation and there's this scene with two college dudes who advertise themselves as "living billboards" for corporations. It's almost cute seen from the 2019 with people pretending to be paid influencers in it.

This makes a lot of sense to me. I'd been a stay at home parent/primary caregiver for a bit over two years but there was a couple of week gap between when my kid started preschool and I started work where I suddenly had like 6 hours totally free time each day. The first few days I literally didn't know what to do with myself. It's not that I hadn't had free time prior to that but it had always been planned for, like organising a baby sitter because I wanted to do something specific, or knowing kid will be asleep around X time so I can do whatever, or knowing my partner would be home on a Saturday morning so I could get some time off, etc. I also don't really find it depressing for people to take meaning from their work. I certainly get a sense of contribution from mine, and will probably volunteer my skills once I'm retired. You'll notice that article carefully lists jobs like educator or librarian that generate a pretty obvious public good. I think what's depressing is more that so many people have to work jobs where they don't, or jobs where they openly and actively support harmful processes.

Yeah, deriving meaning from work is all well and good for teachers or firefighters or skilled craftsmen or whaever. But for the marketing consultant for Generic Promotional Agency? Or the Gig Economy App Slave? Not so much.

This feels like yelling at people for self-actualizing the wrong way. Obviously, feeling good about being a loan shark is lovely and probably some whatever-helps-you-sleep-at-night poo poo, but where you draw that line is nebulous and it would feel weird to me to tell at an automotive engineer that is good at making cars, who feels fulfilled making cars, because cars pollute and destroy the Earth. Likewise, just because someone's contract of employment is predatory doesn't imply that they shouldn't feel good or take pride in the work they do (see Uber drivers, teachers).

T-man posted:Minority identities happens different to rich and poor. I am trans in a really, really different way than Caitlyn Jenner, because in all likelihood I'll never have surgery, hand made flattering clothing, and a team of makeup people. I get medicaid estrogen, thrift store skirts and drugstore makeup put on by myself. We're both transgender since we both ID as a different gender than the one we were assigned at birth, but the experience of having access to power and resources matters. I have no doubt that most people she talks to call her madam, since most of the people she will meet work for her and could/would get canned -- whereas most of the people I meet in a day are the customers (who think I work for them.) It's an entirely different world to interact with on the bougies. If you don't mind government cheese, thanks to Obama you can get your surgery now on Medicaid. You just need a PCP to deem it medically necessary and a therapist letter.

The point is not that those people shouldn't take satisfaction or reward for their work, just that those people are less likely to feel that way because they deal with alienation as well as having no apparent or observable good arising from their work. But also yeah self actualisation isn't automatically a good thing. Marx took care to point out that self actualisation also needs to meet others' needs. So like a Phillip Morris sales rep who fuckin loves their job because they're good at slinging cigarettes is still a scumbag and should be yelled at.
