In 2023 we should be at a point where there is actual technique to management, and it’s not just a position where a department leader gets to harrass their crew and make the workplace toxic.
A manager’s duty is to know their crew and what keeps their morale and productivity high, whether that’s letting them text with their kids all day or letting them keep tabs on the Ravens game. People like to be on a team that knocks out task bullet points and reaches goals. They don’t like to be on a team where they have to escape the notice of their managers while trying to complete tasks.
The US has treated upper management and shareholders like aristocracy for so long that workplaces have gone toxic, that office and administration has to babysit bosses who behave like sex-starved pissed-off teenagers and don’t even have a coherent vision for their company. (Case in point, Elon Musk)
You are not a good manager if your crew or HR or admin has to handle you like a drunken politician.
Weird that shit like this would even come up
If you quit your job the first time your boss says something dumb, you’re going to have to do a lot of job hunting.
If more people quitted(?) their jobs the first time their boss says something stupid fewer bosses would say, and do, stupid shit. They need us more than we need them.
In the long term maybe, but in the short term I still need to pay rent
The system is designed to force you into debt and coerce you into work and it wont ever change if we keep playing by their rules.
True, but having the moral high ground doesn’t pay the rent, so without either outside help or organized rebelion all it will do is hurt the little guy.
As it stand now they effectively won, we waited too long, not saying it can’t change but individual action is not enough
…organized rebelion…
What do you think I’m advocating for here? Demanding your rightfull place as a worker is rebellion.
Sure, one dignified chump quitting will be laughed at; but one thousand? ten thousand? will make them sweat.
Homelessness is manufactured, its part of that coercion I talked about, so… yes.
Theres plenty of employed people who are homeless (quick google search shows that in the US about 50% of people living in shelters and 40% living on the streets are employed). Employment does not guarantee shelter, as we’ve been told, so clearly playing by their rules isnt working for us. Why do we keep playing a game that is rigged against us and supported by lies is beyond me.
Obviously all this should be accompained with solidarity/mutual aid and real societies and not the individualist bullshit they try so hard to convince us is society. Governments and corporations wont help us but theres no reason we cant help each other if we wanted to.
Quitted works. Quit I think is a more common word to use. Quitted can also be synonymous with “left” as in “I quitted the city altogether in favour of a life in the countryside.”
Quat. Quote. Quate?
WTF does your parents got to do with your job?
Nothing, but why work for a jerk if you’ve got other options?

Let me try to help you:
The boss is against retirement/pension, he thinks people who doesn’t work doesn’t deserve to live a good life. In a nutshell, the boss is a dickhead.

That doesn’t address the question, let alone answer it.
? They quit the job because of the dickhead, is not because of their parent, is the attitude of the boss.
Yes, exactly. So the answer to the question was “nothing”. You didn’t answer it.
Some people don’t want to work for assholes. Pretty self explanatory.
Unless they can’t see the difference between the dickhead and themselves.
Yes, it is and that’s a good thing even. Still doesn’t answer the question.
Boss doesn’t believe in supporting people who can’t work. Everyone will eventually be unable to work, whether due to age, illness, some kind of trauma, whatever.
Is it really a good idea to work for someone who wants to ensure you can’t even live once you stop making them money?
Did you reply to the wrong person?
