We need to actually admit that laying off and terminating employees is an act of violence.
I tried to frame my layoff this way to everyone I knew while I was unemployed. Suddenly I couldn’t go to the doctor, I was draining my savings to pay rent so I wouldn’t go homeless, and every trip to the grocery store felt like an indulgence. They make you suffer and starve to make their scraps more appealing when you get hired at a shittier job six months later
Six months? Look at Mr. Employable here!
i have always seen it that way even before i became a communist i thought other people did too?
i had an ok paying job pre-covid, full benefits, gym in the office building, i was planning on working there for 5+ years. i didnt even work a year there and then i got laid off before the early pandemic lockdowns and ive struggled to get a consistent job since. gotta love capitalism!!!
Hard agree. Hell, porky just not being in the hiring mood is a form of violence.
What the fuck do you mean I am not allowed to start my life because employers “only hire the best of the best”? What the fuck am I supposed to do to get out of my parents? Hell, what am I supposed to do while I wait for porky to stop being scared of his own shadow and get off his lazy butt and start making jobs?
