I got my union card and pin!

Right clicking NFTs but it’s signing your posts to dilute the brand of a “micro-celebrity”

Oh, I meant just in general. I know Amazonians United has their shit on lock

If that’s your primary means of communication, still have to be able to say, “I want to talk with you about some issues at work. If you’ve got time, I’d like to meet up and talk over coffee. My number is xxx-xxx-xxxx.” Sometimes it’s that easy, but for a lot of people that’s not enough info. The warehouses who are already unionizing are well past this step, but most of the company isn’t and Amazon’s union busting can easily get organizers pegged as harassers and trouble makers, which makes that even more difficult

Personally I wouldn’t be having sex with an 18-year-old as a 26-year-old. I don’t want to be intimate with someone that I could emotionally dominate by accident

If someone’s trying to tell you that investing in your own power isn’t worth it, check and see if they invest in their own.

You know for a fact that Amazon execs paid out the ass to maintain their own power by hiring all these union busters.

Didn’t he sell and lease a shit ton of federal land to energy companies?

Oh neat, I’ll check it out!

I’m also super antisocial. After all, I’m here (jk, kinda). I just stopped giving a shit if I lost my job after it looked like I might need to start looking for work anyway.

The work is very formulaic. I can build relationships within a social constraint no problem. It’s unstructured relationships that are hard. I don’t have trouble reading people. I just don’t get much out of it in most circumstances. So maybe it sounds a little manipulative, but it’s very much about not putting people in a bad position and protecting fellow workers.

Thank you, friend :ancom-heart:

You can see this just in job listings. Even in states where X number of days of parental leave is required, companies will list those days as fringe benefits

I hope this isn’t too doomer. I have about a dozen people helping me do one-on-one’s and social map, which I think is unusual this early in. We’re all way overworked and everyone’s frustrated. There’s a certain amount that I can collectivize that frustration and express solidarity. I’m also trying to remind people to not run themselves into the ground and that this is a marathon not a sprint.

All that said, I’m still playing a leadership roll and need to put on a happy face as much as possible. I can’t tell everyone I’m straight up going crazy and feeling like quitting. A few more weeks and more people can help unload more of the work. I can manage feeling like quitting for a couple weeks and the feeling should pass so I can continue on without burning out.

I appreciate everyone here letting me scream into the void a bit

Yup

Neoliberalism works largely because it can keep up the appearance of freedom. The more you censor dissent, the more people are going to be caught in your net and the more grumbling a of rebellion will form.

OBU

What show?

I’m with the IWW and am also talking to an industry specific union

Yeah I’m putting together my CV and trying to balance the union work with actively applying for jobs. There’s a decent chance I end up quitting before this gets off the ground purely out of self preservation. But we’ll see
