    After twiddling their thumbs on yearly raises for months management just announced that everyone is getting a flat 3% raise as well as removal of a bunch of major performance bonuses, taking away paid lunches, etc. and people are fucking PISSED.

    *banging hands on table*

    union-ize. union-ize. union-ize. UNION-IZE. UNION-IZE. UNION-IZE.

      I got an email this weekend telling me that no one is getting raises across the board. Including inflation adjustments. Plus they're making us go back to work soon even though we've been turning in work remotely just fine.

      They can have fun with all the interviews, training costs, and reduced work turned in after people start quitting and retiring early next month.

      EDIT: This is a major corporation so maybe they're doing this because they expect a recession to start soon? And that we'll be so desperate for any paycheck that we'll just keep putting up with it? Sucks to suck.

        there is 100% a recession coming in the next year or two. consumer spending has been gutted, inflation through the roof, supply chains still fucked, people have even LESS savings than the pennies they had before in savings, and even MORE consumer debt. in 2020 and 2021 governments turned on the money pipe, as was genuinely needed, but now you get all the 'small government' fuckos saying we need to cut back, or even worse blaming the money pipe for the inflation

          I mean that they might be expecting it real soon. Like by the end of Spring. Otherwise they're going to have people that have been working there for 10+ years quit their jobs when they realize that they could make more money with actual paid time off at a customer support call center.

          But hey, maybe they're only expecting a recession eventually. It wouldn't be the first time a giant corporation has prioritized short term labor savings over longevity. When will someone think of the shareholders??? :thonk-cri:

        In addition to fucking us on raises my company laid off 20% of our staff last year and nearly doubled the price of our product, all while blowing smoke up our asses about how "we're a family" or whatever. I fucking despise these bloodsucking pieces of shit with every fiber of my being

      "We're docking your wages by 7-10% (inflation) and taking away the meager bonuses. Rejoice peons.
