lmao this is becoming a problem at my workplace. *nobody* applies to work for us and we're losing the people we already have. it's 100% because of the $11/hr wage

The dialectical struggle of history has always, essentially, been a question of how to apply justice to matter. Take away matter and what remains is justice.
Capitalism containing the seeds of it's own destruction again, glassdoor mass reporters will become our vanguard party as all fast food places are forced to a $69/hr minimum wage.

Nah companies can buy glass door reviews. I know I've gotten heaps of junk emails basically trying to sell me 5 stars on glass door and other review sites guaranteed.

Basically you can carpet bomb your business with fake employee reviews that love working for you.

I just saw a loving Lexus commercial that said David should be helping Goliath instead of fighting

I don't even know what the gently caress I feel about it but I needed to post about it

gently caress

As I remember the story, Goliath is the native and David is the invader, and David kills Goliath with superior technology because God promised him three land. Aside from being a car commercial, it sounds like a pretty good critique of Israel killing Palestinians because God promised then the land.

What I'm saying is, if you don't like it, accuse it of being anti-Semitic. That'll get it taken off the air.

Uh, no. You could argue both of them were invaders, I guess, but Philistines had no more legitimate claim to the territories than the Biblical people of Israel.

At Mariott they perpetually keep a rotating cycle of gullible dupes (only one at a time per worker "category") in training for alot of low level jobs and then fire them at the end or shortly after and rely on untrained contractors to do everything. The contractors are understaffed and intentionally worked at a level to cause them to burnout quickly. 400-500% turnover rate. "Contractor labor" doesn't get the hate and attention it deserves (and it gets quite a bit).

The kickback is being able to pay way below market rates still by forcing people to be desperate enough to need it.

I looked up the wiki because I grew up in a heathen sinner household and wasn't really exposed to much bible stuff so I only know the story through cultural osmosis, and on the wiki page there's this bit:

quote:

In 2009, NBC aired Kings which has a narrative loosely based on the Biblical story of King David, but set in a kingdom that culturally and technologically resembles the present-day United States.[26] The part of Goliath is portrayed by a tank, which David destroys with a shoulder fired rocket launcher.

What a fuckin' quintessentially American version, "Goliath is a tank, and he is destroyed by David wielding a high-tech weapon specifically designed to destroy tanks."

Meanwhile in Japan:

quote:

In 1972, Toho and Tsuburaya Productions collaborated on a film called Daigoro vs. Goliath, which follows the story relatively closely but recasts the main characters as kaiju.

Much better.

$50 an hour is good money.

In Australia we're not as married to the free market as the USA so instead the government is setting up a snitch hotline where you can call to say someone isn't taking work. You get paid in the warm, fuzzy, feeling that you're making someone starve for this so only the private contractors run by mates of the government make any money.

I don't know if they still do it, but back when I was in highschool and early 20s mcdonald's did what they called On Job Evaluation or OJE. They had you go in and actually work some number of hours. They didn't pay for that unless you got hired in or your parent stood in the lobby in payday and made a big enough scene that management called corporate and got them to cut a check for $20

I don't blame the kids dad but I just wanted to get my check and go home

I also did it once at Grandma Shearers potato chips. I made it through the group interview to the next step, put bags of chips in a box for 45 unpaid minutes.

The entire time people kept asking if I was okay because "you don't look like you're having fun" and I dunno was I supposed to look happy to be putting chips in a box as unpaid labor?

When I worked fast food every once in a while corporate or whoever would send out some idiotic new set of rules regarding how we act to customers that we'd promptly ignore. Sorry I'm not gonna put on a poo poo eating grin and greet fast food customers like old friends and make small talk, I'm sure they'd be weirded out if we did anyways.

Yeah, just erase the restaurant name and copy/paste in any of the ones I've worked at. You have 3 types of restaurant owner:

1) the investor/corporation, who never worked at a restaurant and is all about profit. These places are terrible to work at.
2) The former restaurant employee that nobody liked who makes it their life goal to be a "restauranteur" so that they can continue the chain of abuse. These places are terrible to work at.
3) The former restaurant employee/not terrible human who recognizes the abuse in the industry and sets the restaurant up so that the employees are happy which in turn filters down to the customers and everybody makes good money. These places don't exist.
