Damn you corporate America!

I just got written up, 1 more and I'm terminated. Wanna know what for? My numbers were lower than what they should be....but because of revenue I only worked 1 day in two weeks. How in hell am I suppossed to have comparable numbers?

Might I add that I only worked that little bit because we were told to cut down to such small hours due to low revenue.

That's a retarded reason. Just because you couldn't keep up "with the qouta"? I told you so. Capitalist America considers the workers as a "machine" to boost the workforce behind war and imperialism.

Just look at the gas companies.

I empathize with you, Raptor. I'm sure I'll get canned soon for low sales, but honestly, who's buying things other than the essentials nowadays?

Shit sucks.

your lucky it's even worse here all the banks have fired atleast a thousand eemployess and the same goes for the fishing industry and investment banks, thought luckely unemployment is still just 1%
also house prizes are falling faster by 1% now but if matched with inflation it's around -15% compared to -10% in the worst affected us areas.

I worked like 50 hours total last month 5.5 days? Damn thats sad (then again I tecnicaly don't have a job...).
I'd be more motivated if the System wasnt corrupt. You'd be supprised how many determined workers I've seen get layed off.

why do people want to work more? working sucks ass!

money my friend, money. I got university classes, books, gas, food, etc to pay for. Granted I'm still living at my parents' house but when I need money to save up so when I do get out I don't need to go mooching. I'm gonna go to Digipen when I'm done this. I'd be all the way on the opposite coast.

ya i mean, working is pretty lame, but it also is how you make money, unless your slangin, lulz. but for me sense my job was to assemble tools, it reallly radicalized my beliefs.

so you dont want work you just want money. but the capitlists are fooling you into thinking you want work so that they can have more surplus value.

No, I don't work for the money. I like my job. Money is a plus though.

so if you didnt get paid you woudl work instead of staying at hom ewatching tv

I always assumed that Capitalism is what breeds the notion that working is only for money. They devalue the idea of a work ethic, and replace it with a desire solely based on monetary gain. Hence the unfortunate notion held by today's society that an education isn't actually about learning or gaining knowledge: it's about equipping yourself for a career.

If I did a job that I genuinely enjoyed, I wouldn't mind getting a low pay. I truly mean that. Unfortunately, I also need a college education to do that job, and to do that I need money, and to get money I need to do a job that I currently hate, because I'm not "educated" enough for a well-paying and personally-rewarding job.

It's a vicious circle.

I thought you were a social democrat. SOcial democrats support capitalism

Yeah, I don't really know why I put myself under Social Democrat. I can see having a state under Capitalism, if it is highly, HIGHLY monitored, restricts big businesses, taxes the rich, and puts monetary equity before making a profit. But I know that it is an inherently shitty system and it can't stand on its own two feet for long. I don't think I have to go at length about that, because I think we're both in agreement there. I'm really more of a Socialist.

Whatever, though. It puts my name in yellow, so it looks cool.

apply for the socialist party. you dont want to be in the same party as mattabesta the free market liberal.
