Wage slave greentext stories general

...

SOME fast food is easy.

Have you worked at a pizza place?
On fridays you will have 20+ people trying to call in at once, with people coming in to place orders in-person at the same time, people ordering online through website, and the orders will print out on a sheet of stickers that goes all the way to the floor if you don't speed up, which you have to stamp onto the pizza boxes, then when you run out of pizza boxes you have to start folding more of them up origami style, and it's all for 7 bucks an hour.

You don't hate it that much or you'd actually do it
Alternatively, start your own food joint and only hire communists

apply for a union trade apprenticeship

maybe get a minimum wage job closer to home?

I work fast food right now while going to school and some of my co-workers are incredibly classcucked and reactionary.

I can't tell you how happy I am to walk out the door each day and spend my time as I choose while my coworkers are busting their asses and working themselves to the bone by pursuing higher ed in their free time.

It's a really good feeling, bc most of my coworkers have no class-consciousness they think that all their probs will be solved by getting their degree which will allow them to get that dream job instead of organizing and fighting for better pay and conditions in the here and now.

Eat shit REEEEEEEEEEE. OR come to Subway so I can serve you my shit on rye bread

dude no
you have such a good deal going on. you've got some serious grass is greener syndrome

ALIENATION IS A THING. GRASS IS GREENER SYNDROME IS NOT A THING.

are you intelligent enough to dress yourself in the morning? Jesus

Good luck to you. I don't want to risk it when labor is at its weakest point in the longest time.

Part of me wishes I went into a trade, but I'm too far into debt now and I find my field (teaching) rewarding.

Um (: Sweaty (: Minimum wage is for high school kids who want some extra money to buy video games (: Never mind that 1/2 of minimum wage workers are over 25 (:

What the fuck is it with STEM and Republicans? And the alt-right, for that matter? And neoliberalism? My dad has the same shit.

You're an example to us all OP. Well done!

Only wage slave stories I have was when it was mandatory I work for free back in highschool. Nowadays I work with my family

anyways

another time, another factory
dude was a dick too, barely paid his workers.
Different place

kek

I'm going into computing work. That's a real bummer if its the case, I expected STEMfags to have to use their brains.

software dev/programmers are the most classcucked employees ever imo

How do you do that, are there union trade apprenticeships in IT

I work at a gas station and trust me even making low wage people are still stupid and classcucked which is why as an american I agree with people who say america is fucked and too just nuke it.

They have more in-demand skills than the average worker. It's not classcuckery because they're acting in their own interest. STEM workers, at least at the moment, have a legitimate shot at becoming full bourg. They'll only come around to socialism when they start to have their jobs replaced by computers too. Of course, at that point Skynet will be the new bourgeoisie and will most likely annihilate humanity.

Those digits don't lie.

At my last job a coworker unwittedly started talking about how he had independently developed georgism (obviously he didn't say it like that because he'd never heard of Georgia.)

But what about EFFICICIENCY and PROGRESS?

top kek, my Satanic friend

I doubt it is people's political alignment that is keeping you from talking to them, it might be deeper personal issues. Those will not be helped by making less money.

I can only hope skynet is merciful and kills us instead of pulling a shodan(which is what a capitalist computer would do) and mutate us into something *beautiful* and *profitable* with less waste.

see this shit every day, it's absolutely terrible

Jesus Christ, user. Think about what you're saying. You're telling him to go porky.

What you meant was:

I can't imagine the freedom of speech that comes with working in a cooperative. I want a job in one badly. Being able to talk back to the boss and speak your mind to your coworkers without having to vet which ones you think might be snitches sounds really nice.

Not to mention the fact that if you work harder, you make more money… Rather than just working harder to make someone else more money and avoid getting fired.

it's mostly the T and E parts of it that are overrun with conservatives/libertarians. Hard sciences tend to be more balanced on the politics

I get the "self-exploitation" meme but when you think about it, if you have to suffer under capitalism then it's a better alternative.

so that's it OP? are they giving you some kind of compensation?

...

Hell yeah, comrade. Sorry about your job though.

I think the real risk is going tens of thousands of dollars into debt in the hope that the nice, cushy job that will make it all worth it will be there and provide good pay.

American workers didn't fight back against the capitalists after the Great Recession instead they went to college in droves hoping to "improve their skills" and get a better job. That was a fatal mistake and it will only continue as long as the college delusion is enouraged.

I can't get too haughty about it, I have a degree myself and was a naive student once, fuck ton of good it did me.

I mean it's better than plain capitalism, sure. As long as people understand that the market and profit-motive needs to eventually be terminated, I'm fine with co-ops in capitalism.

Yup, wasn't the working-class who voted for him despite all the libs saying it (and many lefties even falling for it).

its times like these that remind me how much I need and love leftypol. good dialectics, good historical analysis, anti-capitalism, free speech, we have it all here folks

Love you too, comrade

You are my idol OP

plenty of working class people did, esp. non-whites. maybe not the majority

sure, than the average worker. but software devs tolerate a lot of bullshit from their employers

You have any particular reason to think that they voted for Trump?

Honestly, after the "Grab her by the pussy" thing and Clinton having a vag, upper middle class women are ardent Clintonites.

Hell, all the rich housewives I knew were Clinton-loving pieces of shit. They've even started to watch SNL with their shitty liberal-tier sketches. (And, they treat poor folks like scum and think you're worthless unless you have a degree.)

Those bitchy housewives who treated you like scum probably voted for Clinton. (And, probably also wanted to take away your Doom and guns.)

This is why we need a holocaust of housewives.

Trump won overwhelmingly amongst non-college educated whites. Wealthier whites were relatively evenly divided, with Clinton having a slight advantage. (And a big advantage with college-educated female whites.)

Do note that a lot of the wealthier whites who voted for Trump probably did it out of party loyalty. They voted for cuckservative Republicans for so long that voting for a Democrat is unimaginable. (Unless you have a third candidate like in Utah.)

The two party system makes for strange bedfellows and honestly ruins political discourse.

Of course, why should I expect anything better from a sandnigger?

Second part was meant for

...

...

Atleast you do something that supports Rojava in some way, dont feel to bad.

porkies were fairly evenly divided between Clinton and Trump and you're hanging shit on him for not respecting your God Emperor? kys

This is what's so infuriating about capitalism. It isn't fair or just in any way, but it works for some people, some of the time.
