i used information from this thread at my job and it owned. it's a small shop mostly staffed by college kids but the owner is the only management there is and they had been spending less time at work and more time on personal projects and withdrawing their physical labor had caused a lot of friction in the workplace. talking to everyone one-on-one sucked at first, but i just focused on identifying grievances and eventually everyone could name something that was made more difficult by absent ownership. then at the next meeting we all weighed in and convinced the owner that they needed to hire someone who could cover for them/me so we could have some real depth on the roster. it feels like a monkey's paw b/c what we're getting is a general manager but i'm still flying high from hearing everyone weigh in at a staff meeting when usually everyone but me stares at the ground and i have to complain for everyone.

collective action is the greatest high you can ever experience after anything that can actually give you a high, thanks again to everyone contributingDeclan MacManus posted:so, let's say i work in a profession with a low barrier to entry, little government regulation, but it can't be outsourced or automated, let's call it food service for the sake of argument and because it's what i'm talking about bringing this back up b/c i'm curious about this as well. i work in an similar industry, lets call it literally the same thing. simple organizing worked pretty well b/c the owner of my shop really just wants to go back to when it was just them working 70 hour weeks and doing everything by them self. organizing cooks is hard b/c there's a lot of them but a lot of them also work at 'small businesses' so there's only like five cooks at some shops. is cross shop collaboration a thing?

apropos to nothing posted:personally feel like this thread should be permanently stickied to the top of the sub forum but i also understand that its filled with valuable information, anecdotes, resources, etc. so can understand if the IKs feel like it's more important to hide it and make sure no one sees it support this. looks like the other stickies are for resources or talking to mods so a thread about taking action seems like a good fit.
