  • I work for shitty companies and just take like 8x longer to do tasks. That's the only way I kinda justify it.

    I'm pretty sure everyone I work with is doing it too, because our velocity has become normal/expected now.

    Also for the ones constantly monitoring your "available" status, proper mouse jigglers are great for when you want to take a looooong lunch or watch TV.

    I also got a cheap used phone for logging in to employer Teams or Slack so I can pretend to be at a computer even if I'm at the store grocery shopping or at the bar drinking.

    edit: Similar to another comment, I use the money for my community. Donating to food banks, buying clothing to donate, I recently donated a couple of computers to people who needed them, a few monitors, a cellphone, I helped my friend pay off their medical debt, etc.

    I couldn't do that without the money these jobs pay. If I'm still meeting expectations but it isn't detrimental to my mental health and I can take their money and do good, I call that a win.

  • Unfortunately, the people they hate and hurt will still vote for them because those people turn to their leaders (fox news, Trump, etc.) and are told that anyone left leaning is actually to blame.

  • Meh, let people judge. Sucks they don't feel comfortable enough in their own meat skin to do the same.

    My wife converses with herself when nobody is around. What the fuck ever, it helps her process things, it is fine.

  • Sorry, I don't agree. I've worked hospitality and a lot of my friends work hospitality. A sudden dry spell of tips would mean unpaid medical bills, no clothes for a kid, no food on the dinner table, no gas to get to work. People have to try and budget just for the shortfall that typically occurs in January.

    I'm not opposed to changing the system, but I think you underestimate how many people live day to day or week to week. Suddenly nobody tipping at all won't magically make people unionize or their bosses pay more.

    What needs to happen first are steps to kill the massive and ever-increasing wealth divide.

  • Not tipping doesn't fix the problem, it just hurts those barely getting by who are also victims of a shitty capitalist system.

    Going Luigi on those furthering income inequality would be better.
