I can’t help but feel for boomers. My dad is a pretty apolitical in terms of electoral politics but will be the first one to defend the business in whatever conversation
Sad stuff
Mine worked for a mega corp for 20+ years as a scientist, won awards for what he did, was with them to the hilt
His role got reduced and altered against his desires, and then the company relocated the site he worked at from being a 10 minute drive away to being 1,200+ miles away
Then they jerked him around on severance for a year, the amount in question being absolutely trivial for a company their size
Don’t lick boots, don’t work overtime, and don’t play nice with corporations kids because they’ll happily fire you out of a cannon if it means they can save some money and still seem to get by
If he worked 200% harder like his boss or the CEO maybe he would have done better.
My dad’s reward for 25 years as a union organizer was forced retirement with pension.
Which is good! But he didn’t want to retire; it was unceremonious and abrupt and disrespectful.
Turned out after the FBI made him testify against the corruption of his bosses (who went to prison) the union was done with him.
I know it’s not the same since he got a pension and all, but still.
Unionize your work place, folks
Agreed. I will say that my dad did burn out on unions after seeing so much corruption, but he still believes in the idea.
Guess it’s like socialism: a decent idea, but people fuck it up with corruption and self-serving shit.
Still, unions are better than nothing.

I got a free thermos with the company logo.
Still had to pay for my uniform after they changed said logo. I’ll let you guess which cost more
Companies are never your friends
Why is it so damn hard for the people who continually complain about the work week to realize they could change the fucking world if they didn’t go in for one day

Hey cool thats a buck a year!
An actual buck each year would be worth way more with interest lol.
My work used to give out thermoses that couldn’t actually keep things cold or hot for 10 years. They got rid of those around a decade ago.
No thermos can keep something cold or hot for 10 years if stored at room temperature
My dad got a beer mug and highball glass with his name engraved on it, and a big ass oar with the company logo on it (he worked at a shipyard)
I got a plastic drink cup from a previous job for a year. I’m married to a teacher so the last thing we need is more cups and mugs.
