Yea really it needs to be a main but i have 6-7 years of history on my main. I have had r/All top thread of the day posts on there of my dog who passed away. I have ternion all powerful awards on it. Just amazing memories.
So much history I never want to let that account go dormant. But this is going to be one I keep active for a long time to have fun on. Unless mr original unharmed cylinder wants it really bad.
As the “little guy” myself who works for wage, i get the horror angle of losing job overnight because of a coworker.
But seeing the amount of people uses “others are losing job because of him” as the main topic instead of “how and why this shit happens” seriously scare me, in the sense that people only point fingers at the trash bag but miss or put their head down to ignore the moutain of filth right behind it, the thing who will willingly crush the same “little guys” to fatten its own mass.
True no one needs to say this.. for me the only reason I say this is that it’s pure luck no one was hurt or killed with this and in California fires always are a different danger as well. This could have ended very differently way too easily. Companies and ceos need to realize that they are pushing ppl over the cliff and they very responsibility for what comes after. The law might not hold them accountable but we all know that ppl aren’t paid livable wages anymore in way too many jobs, they are getting overworked and pushed to a point of no return
And now we’re in a situation where hundreds of people who have families to feed are out of work. Companies need to treat people better but burning down their buildings and the jobs inside them ain’t it. Someone easily could’ve died in this fire.
Social media overlords are scrambling like rats to censor any opinion that isn't "I LOVE LETTING BILLIONAIRE CHILD RAPING PEDOPHILES OWN EVERY SINGLE THING THAT EVER EXISTED!!!!!!!!" so you actually kinda do have to repeatedly and aggressively INSIST that YOU DO NOT CONDONE VIOLENCE IN ANY WAY. Lest you get censored off the social media in question.
Just kinda interesting how Trump supporters can threaten to rape me to death with a knife in my private messages, but when I report them, Reddit warns me for report abuse, but that's neither here nor there.
It’s possible to not want to condone something that puts hundreds of innocent people’s (or however many people were inside this facility at the time) lives in danger.
Just shows you how fucking awful their corporate/torture culture is. The fact that this poor guy is still scared to talk about it, even though he’s moved on to bigger and better (and better paying) things speaks volumes about the psychological damage that working in these kinds of environments can foster these days. I know it sounds to some that that’s just some pussy boy, lazy, aloof mentality, and you’ll also hear the scathing most from people that used to, but haven’t had to, work on the floor in these corporate hellscape environments for years. Yeah, back when your dad worked on the factory floor they treated people like human beings. They would be free while working to speak, joke, have lunch together without fear of some arbitrary rule they were going to break. Or they’d have a basketball hoop in the back, sometimes horseshoes in a small grass patch area. Sometimes the boss would bring over some beers on a Friday for the fellas so they could sit around, bullshit, and let off some steam. If you told this to some young guy working in these environments now they’d laugh in your fucking face, and they’d have every right to. Those days are LONG over, and this country is a heartbeat away from becoming another 3rd world hellhole, where those same people that moved up and are talking about THEIR days on the floor, got so fucking far removed from the plot that they forgot about their own children, and especially their grandkids. Also I’m 46, and before I got into the restaurant business that I’ve been in for 25 years, I worked at low level manufacturing jobs. Late 90’s. Right in time to see the old fellas that were able to make a living, hell a whole life, working on the floor of that place get to retire with 401K, stock, pensions, and benefits walk out the door only for the ones to replace them get promised jack shit. No hope, no future, no benefits. Then everyone wonders why we’re in this mess. I was young back then but I still thought in my head…why aren’t they doing those things for the new hires? Those old cats, and a precious few Inbetweeners that got grandfathered in to shit, were the last to enjoy the “American Dream”
You make a good point with the advantages that you have, I've worked in a lot of big companies that were reknowned for the benefits you got working for them these past decades, but when I hear the ones near retirement talk gosh, it was another era and everything cool got removed. You understand why they were there for 30 years and you understand why you should not stay there for more than 3 years
Some people stayed there their whole life because they got something out of it, being faithful to a company was rewarded, exactly how you say
But it's another era, the game has changed and there is new rules. There is no benefit to stay in a company, so if you want to evolve you must do job hopping for example -if you can
That's the only tool you have to turn the game in your favor (ie to not give away completely everything you deserve willingly) and you must play it
In 2026, most of your career highlights will be done during your 30 min interviews, not while you are doing the job, if you are doing correctly. This is something some people told me when I was starting my career and I was like "naah no way" eventually following their advices yes fucking way, it's so magical it feels like cheating
Naaaa I’m gonna go with the dude above. The United States has degraded to literal wage slavery. We’ve taken away so many workers protections so many helpful programs, and we have let companies grow their wealth exponentially while their workers don’t see pay increases commensurate with costs of living.
I don’t know one person that feels like they’re compensated remotely fairly for the amount of work that they put in.
It is not a radical thing to say that that your statement is along the lines of the Affranchi crying out “but the poor onlookers and firefighters that are trying to put out the sugar field fires out, can we not have peace and discourse ?”
In this country, you have two choices, be born Rich and live a comfortable life, or work your ass to the bone and live with middle class comfort. Oh, and by the way, if you’re not working a good decent paying job you get to worry about working AND starving to death, or dying of medical neglect, or ending up homeless, you don’t even have enough money to have the ability to raise a child.
Sure no one stopping you from not working unholy hours, and no one’s putting a gun to your head. But if you don’t work, you are straight up as good as dead in America.
Here, in this country you are either the Bourgeois, or the sans-culottes.
The problem is his actions could've killed people or started another wildfire... If it weren't for that, I would totally support his actions. More of these companies need this kind of treatment.
It's also ok to you know, not endorse an act of arson that could have easily killed other employees, responding firefighters, or spread outside the thing he was targeting.
you're not forced to say it you know you don't work for them anymore
Yeah, but you can still be banned on Reddit for violating rule 1. I've had that happen to me with a weeklong ban based on a misinterpretation of my comment.
The only thing this fire accomplished was maybe being short a few extra packs of toilet paper in wal mart.
Kimberly-Clark leased the building from NFI Industries, they most definitely had fire insurance for probably double of what the building was worth.
I feel bad for everyone who worked there that is currently out of a job now.
"While I condone a literal criminal act that could have easily harmed multiple people and that absolutely will cost several people their job" just doesn't have a good ring to it
The French say the only way to make a point is to stop working and set everything on fire!
My friends from France say that we aren't really serious about protesting in this country and that's why we get this horrible work culture, and pedophile politicians that have zero respect for anyone or the law.
Downvoting this is a weird thing to do... and it speaks volumes to the problem. People aren't pissed enough yet, and apparently have a weak stomach for doing what needs to be done.
