      The day an automated system reduces my pay for socializing all of 3 seconds to myself is the day I begin welding steel plates to a bulldozer and go for a drive through upper mansgemt offices.

        seriously i’d rather see it all burned down and my own bones charred to ash than suffer such a condition to persist. fuck absolutely every thing and every PERSON about this.

        i mean that day should really have come a while ago, and it seems pretty evident that A LOT of people just straight up do not have a point at which they’ll do anything more radical than complain on facebook.

        literally no food in stores, and you’re actively starving? oh well nothing to be done about this, i voted for the Leopards Eating People’s Faces party and they say they’re doing all they can to help me…

    I mean, I’ve experienced something similar at work, except not automated.

    And the amount of talking was literally just us asking each other for help. For example to help with moving a loaded pallet using a pallet jack as this was in a freezer, and the floor had frost on it (I alone would just “walk” in the same spot trying to pull or push it).
    “The client has complained they heard talking, so please be quiet.” (the client being a supermarket chain, or in this case, their representative)
    Disregarding the manager could result in a negative point. The negative point would reduce you to minimum wage for that day.

    This was in the storage area of a supermarket. A closed supermarket. It couldn’t bother a single soul.

    reminds me of the old greentext that was like “please drink a mtn dew verification can to continue”

    i really hope something happens soon to prevent this future.

    I mean, quality of life has gone up almost everywhere in the world (warzones being the exception ofcourse). The issue is just that the class divide is also going up everywhere.

      I mean you could get yourselves some of those regulations the Europeans seem to like to make this illegal. But that would be communism so you won’t.
