Using moron only eliminates about 10% of us here. I agree it’s not very specific.

Wells Fargo employees will never unionize. A small group of people have been pushing this before Covid. Getting some more traction now for multiple reasons.
Heartless CEO that was only hired to improve stock price and get asset cap lifted. He has failed at both.
Layoffs every other Tuesday is soul crushing. Jobs getting shipped to India.
Pay raises have been crappy for quite awhile but somehow there is $30 billion for stock buybacks.
Stack ranking of employees at year end reviews. Good employees get a crap rating just because someone has to eat it.
401k company match of 6% only gets paid if you are employed with the company on December 15. So the folks that got laid off today wont get their match.

I tend to go off on tangents every once in a while. Today was one of those instances. I stand by my comments as I truly feel hard working people are far better off non-unionized. That’s my opinion. But I understand it’s not shared by others.
With that said, I’m taking my own advice I offered here a long time ago. It’s time to take a break from social media. Social media can bring out the worse in people sometimes. When that happens, it’s time to step back and have conversations with people you can physically talk to, not through a keyboard
Go cyclones!
one thing I learned late in life, is don’t let others know how easy the work is for you. They value what you do, how well it’s done… don’t tell them it’s easy. Let them think you are doing a great service by the great product you produce for them. Once they know you can handle more, it comes. They will pay you well for the job you are doing and how you do it.
I once signed on to a work from home gig, before it was popular, and could get everything done, and done well in 20 hours every week. They paid me a full time salary for it. Annual reviews were top of the charts and bonuses with trophy’s were the norm. I worked 3-4 hours a day a few in the morning and a few in the afternoon.

From what I remember most lay offs start with the lowest seniority and work it's way up. Competency had very little to do with it.
You don't want to go south of the mason-dixon line to be a teacher.
Seniority doesn't have a lot to do with it in the construction trades now. It starts with who is most expendable.
A union for a corporate office environment such as a large financial services company is not likely to happen nor would it be a good thing. I think some of the pushes to get employees from some of the companies mentioned in this tread to unionize are coming from external sources/influences and not from within that company too. There is no denying that there are some negatives in any corporate work environment but if you think your pay and benefit situation is bad now it will likely get worse if you were part of a union as they will negotiate that on your behalf and you'll likely lose the ability to advance freely in your career path as tenure becomes more in play as criteria than your job skills an performance. I'm not anti-union as they make sense in a lot of the trade labor jobs but for anyone trying to work their way up the "corporate ladder" being unionized would really restrict your ability to move up through the ranks or shift into a different career path within the company at an accelerated pace without having to go through some union red tape along the way.
Blah blah blah....All I know if that in a month from now, my ass will have to be back in the office 3 days a week.
I'm sure they'll have balloons or cake or something to celebrate
I have never seen this movie. Tried to and shut it off.
Probably the only office worker in America who hasn't seen it.
Something about a red stapler.
I still have great memories of putting all work to the side so the team can awkwardly sing happy birthday! Mostly to a person who doesn't want any part of it.
Then we eat a cake no one wants and hand over the card we were forced to sign.
Whew! Memories! And PIZZA PARTIES!!! It's a party, mother *******!!
I mean that is office teamwork and collaboration at its absolute best.
It's a must see if you work in a corporate office environment. This movie has stood the test of time and still has a lot of good scenes that are relevant today. We joke about this all the time when we come across someone that does a job role we wonder why they still have a job here
In this scenario, you should quit, start your own company, and bid your own jobs.
At one place in Ames I worked you had to hug the owner too. That was beyond weird.
That's exactly what I did. Best thing ever.
I just laugh at all the pointless trinkets and worthless things we get around here as "rewards" or gifts for doing a project or something performance related they think will raise your morale. Seems like beverage tumblers are the in thing right now and they hand them out at every on-site event as "prizes" like we all are just itching to get one. It's not like I don't already have enough of those damn things already that they apparently seem to think I'd rather want one of those instead of say a $25 Amazon gift card or something actually useful to me. Congrats for completing your project, here have another tumbler with the company logo on that you've already received 3 of already the past 2 years for doing a good job. Have a milestone anniversary, here's a paperweight with your years of service and company logo on that probably cost us $50 to make and ship to you that you probably will just throw into the trash like most people have done.
