Workers:1 Bosses:0 !

[lvleph]

So I organized a mass resignation at my last place of employ. Myself and one other person were actually able to quit on the planned day. So, I figured that it probably would be a failure and no one else would quit. However, today I received good news; the only people left working at my previous employ are the bosses! Now, hopefully anyone interviewing will wonder why no one else works there, before they accept the position. This was my first workplace antagonism, and I think it went well. It was too bad that I couldn't bring about any class consciousness amongst those I was working with.

:D

How many others quit?

Why did you quit?

[lvleph]

There were a total of 6.

We quit, because the bosses were demeaning, racist, sexist, ad just plain old bigots. The only two people left are the Manager and Supervisor.

So it was mass in the sense that all the workers left. And considering that everyone had a Master's or PhD, I would say they are screwed.

The bosses were demeaning sexist bigots at a place where everyone had a Masters? :eek: Wow, you should sue. If it was some shit job in retail or something, that's one thing, but a "professional" setting is taken more more seriously.

Well that's great. Congrats.

Well, I informed HR of the situation, by letter. They called me two hours later, after I went home on my last day. It seems they may do something about it, but realistically I doubt it. Here is the clincher, we were all state employees. Yes, I know. An anarchist working for the state? Even Noam Chomsky works for the state (MIT is not a private school).

why taken more seriously because they are not the low paid WORKERS that this site and its members are suppost to be on the side of, of course unless they have "shit job"s

you are a fucking snob for saying that
and as for suing people: "lets all play their system and get rich then we won't need to care about the little people and their 'shit jobs' anymore"

Suing doesn't necessarily mean you are asking for money in compensation. It is just generally what one does when they sue. Also, I think what was being said was that in a professional environment one wouldn't expect such behavior. However, I agree it doesn't matter how much one gets paid, we all deserve respect.

I would guess the point of his post was that it would be more likely to receive attention, not that it merits more. It may just even have been sarcastic.

Ah yes, I see now. I can see perfectly how in my previous message I stated that a worker being paid a salary below the wage of 7.00 an hour has no right to protest bigotry in the workplace, but any amount above that is just fine. Any person with properly functioning eyes can see that by saying that the exploited workers should take action and attempt to get their bosses dismissed, I was stating for the record that we should all get rich and discontinue the proletariat revolution. And though every job I have ever had could be qualified as a shit job, such as working retail or cutting fruit, and I refer to these exploitive and tiring jobs as shit jobs because the aforementioned bodily secretion aptly describes the conditions, salary, benefits and treatment of such a career, clearly I am a classist. Even though I said nothing about salary at all in my post, it is with the utmost clearness that I realize how snobbish I am for saying that different salaries deserve different amounts of respect, though I didn’t actually “say” that. But of course it is clear. And lastly, and most disgracefully, by pointing out that in a court of law a so-called professional or high class setting is taken more seriously and is more likely to get the bigot bosses in question fired, I was clearly taking the side of the bosses. I am such a disgrace to the revolution.

Well, its always a good thing when the ruling class looses money. And who is to say that he wasn't going to put that money to a good cause? And as said before, sueing someone isn't always for money compensation.

I agree. Just because you're suing someone doesn't make you a greedy capitalist (especially if you're suing a greedy capitalist, heh). If anyone wants to sue the rich, I have no quarrel with that. Plus, tort cases are one of the biggest reasons that the court system in the US (not sure if the original poster is from the americkkka or not) is sluggish and ineffective, which gives me have happy feelings.

Also, congrats to comrade lvleph for sticking it to those bigots.

Cheers

During the time I was employed there I also did my job slowly and like shit. My other employees didn't agree with that tactic, but it sure seemed to stress out my boss. Considering the fact that she was demeaning, I felt it was well deserved.

"lets all play their system and get rich then we won't need to care about the little people and their 'shit jobs' anymore"Woah, woah, woah. So now if you get lucky enough to get rich through calling out the bourgeoisie, you won't care about the proletariat?

Fuck man, who doesn't want to be rich? To not worry about car payments, rent, groceries, to have money to raise your children in a comfortable environment... that all sounds pretty tempting to me.

The problem a leftist should have with rich people is how they came to get the money, and why they aren't using it for a "the cause". It's not the quality of being rich itself.

By the way, lvleph, great job!

I agree with Clarksist, comfort is just another human desire, not neccesarily a bourgois one.
It's nice being rich and living the hauté proletarian life, but owning a factory isn't the way to do it. And, as the bourgois say within their social circles, it isn't what you make, it's how you makei t.
