lol … it does make it easier to unionize a workforce when everyone sees each other in person more often
Having organized both remotely and in person for my union, there’s tradeoffs for each. Personally, I have a preference for remote organizing but there’s a lot of fun stuff you can do in person
there’s a lot of fun stuff you can do in person
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
We are gathered here today to witness this union… right here? In front of everybody?
This is what they mean when they say they want to protect traditional marriage
You’re posting a lot. 301 posts in 8 days… that’s over 1.5 posts an hour if you’re up 24 hours a day!
Maybe you should take a break?
If they are quality (or even relevant) shares or content then it’s a good thing. Well, for us as content consumers, maybe not a healthy thing for them to be constantly online - but who here is going to cast that first stone?
I think (now) 304 posts in 8 days is excessive for a regular healthy person and I don’t think that’s a wild thing to say.
They could be retired.
This is something i can imagine doing myself, when i’m retired.
My dad chose to only costume content and did it in all the wrong places.
OK, I will cast it.

The department of transportation has a lot to do! Get to work!
Try fishing! Great way to get out for cheap!

What always get me is that they don’t want you to talk to each other. People get in trouble all the time for that. They want you doing something more productive, this isn’t a social club, etc., etc. Either they want to micro manage you or your building is losing money being empty. That’s it, those are the two reasons they want you back.
It’s the building. Covid has shown that middle management is pointless, people work fine without it. If you can not hire them, why would you? On the other hand if you invested millions into a building you now cannot do anything with - that’s a huge problem. Buildings need to be used to maintain value, otherwise you get countless issues that won’t get caught, happening silently in the background. You probably might have long term contracts for renting a space. You don’t get to break that contract for free either.
The thing is I need my middle management to fight upper managments mess. You can’t have me go direct to upper management with my verbiage. You think these people can read on a 5th grade level?
“comradery” 🥴🥴
Comradery, ad ventures, and steal on steal! Rite Bew?
And then they put you in a cube farm where you still don’t see each other all day.
I would love a cube farm. Open office sucks.
Cubes are the worst of both worlds. You have the noise of open plan, but the lack of visibility of other people like offices
Unionised from home.
Frick the police
Need some ready made fliers to hand out.
#I have no idea how to unionize. Can that be the next meme craze?
I miss working in an office, getting the train to work, seeing the sky, banter with my colleagues, the odd drink after work, having a normal relationship with my boss.
WFH is torture for me. I don’t leave the house because I don’t need to. I rarely see my colleagues except on Teams, and my interactions with my boss are strained across several slightly passive-agressive (or not! they could be fine!) emails
I wake up in the morning and the only interaction I get is a green dot on my colleagues faces. I literally strike up conversations with the postman because I’m so starved of contact
Sounds like you’re confusing your work life with your fun/personal time. Like some sort of Stockholm victim to your workplace. You need work life balance and interactions outside of work. Work is not socializing.
It’s hard making friends as an adult though (read: people have kids or other dependents), and the most meaningful relationships I’ve had have been where we’ve all been bonded under the same circumstance. Yes it does sound Stockholm syndromic, but as someone who doesn’t actively seek sociability by default, being automatically inaugurated into the company of others is a huge passive social benefit for me.
Work is definitely socializing by sheer osmosis of being around others with common goals
Unfortunately this stance is not uncommon. There’s a lot of people out there for whom work is the main or even the only social connection they have.
There’s a lot of loneliness in such statements.
I agree, but I’d argue that these are isolating times and that my story is more the norm than the exception
