      This is exactly why I’m so goddamn happy I’m in a union, we fought off the fucking cunts and won. Secured significantly better conditions and guaranteed raises for several thousand people all in one go. It was a pretty narrow vote though, they literally hired a guy to generate internal propaganda about how good getting a pay cut was going to be…

          No nothing like that, they just offered the teeny tiniest little raises when we’d had 7+% inflation so our wages were effectively set back 2-3 years.

          The ceo gave himself a $2 million bonus or something insane.

      This what they told my wife when she was carrying 250% of the caseload her peers were. Boss rated her 3/5 and said that no one gets 5s.

      2 of her coworkers doing less than half the work she did got rated 5.
