āMistreatingā wage earners who take no risk?
They should try managing a small business.

Nope. Truth.
Hardly. Is your office organized?
Iāve learned not to share too much personal information on this forum. I hope you understand.
Your baseless and reference free claim that the GOP isnāt responsible for the decline in unions in America is yet another thing you are wrong about.
So no.
TV Man told you, so it must be true. How can republicans keep your employees from organizing?

The decline of unions is a good thing. We need a look for the Right to Work label campaign.

Yeah weāve gone backwards in that area over several decades. For state elections I primarily vote Democratic. But Murphy is testing my patience. Heās so far the only Democrat I despise. It will be hard to vote for him.
But Iām getting off track. Amazon has a thing called TOT. Time off task. I think thatās what it is. Look that up if you can. Itās absurd. Amazon has a system that tracks your every minute. Youāre basically a robot. But again, some people donāt mind. Why? Because itās worse everywhere else.
I think itās more that there really arenāt that many entry level good jobs.
Why do you hate Murphy? Iām kind of ambivalent about him. I think he did fine on the pandemic, I suppose you think he was a little over cautious? Things are wide open now, and he just lifted the state of emergency. Maybe a little later than he could have, but our tax rate is just over 60 I think, so seems about right to me.
I donāt knowā¦I honestly havenāt been paying much attention to anything state-wise other than the pandemic. Maybe nothing else much is going onā¦but he seems OK to me. At least he hasnāt been caught sunbathing on a beach he closed, or ā ā ā ā ā ā up bridge traffic - yet.
I just want to say one more thing. If Amazon was paying their employees 30 bucks an hour I wouldnāt be so hard on them. But theyāre not. Theyāre taking advantage of the overall opportunities or lack there of.
Agreed. And to an extent, shame on us all for letting them do it our fellow citizens.
Of course they are, itās a business.
That is astounding.
You donāt really add much to the conversation with your one line posts.
What would you like me to add?
Yes. But task VS compensation is important. At the moment businesses have the upper hand right now. Iām in a union so I can tell my boss to ā ā ā ā off. But I never have to do that because they know their place. I would never work under any other circumstances.
Amazon is apparently not having a problem finding workers.
āThey know their placeā. Donāt you work for government?
Oh I know they are not having problems. For young people starting off they are better than most choices out there. They get moderate to good reviews from employees. But I would never work under those conditions. I donāt get punished for going to the bathroom.
I work for an authority. So technically Iām not a state worker. But I guess saying I work for government is still accurate.
Little different when you work for the government neh?
Me working or not working for government has nothing to do with what you responded to. It most likely has to do with me being union. Iāve never worked a non union job so I can only go by what I hear from people. But Iām assuming union or not, most jobs donāt make it punishable to go to the bathroom.
