Like, how do so many Americans just want a master to tell them what to do? Pathetic

    UPDATE: Old boss shot me a text saying that the time zones are weird, but that if I want to come back next week he’ll have a check waiting for me. I told him to give it as a bonus to the others, he said

    Anyone notice with posts like these that there will always be a handful of insanely high-voted (1000+) replies praising the OP, and then all of the "real" replies calling out the BS will be at 20-30 upvotes max? I notice this ALL the time in r/worldnews in any China bashing thread where the top posts will be stupid shit like "Xinnie the POO -5000 social Tianamens West Taiwan" and then the rest of the thread is just dunking on RFA or Zenz

    It's a pretty consistent way of judging if the thread was upvote-botted, replies are probably fake from the same guy who bought the service

      holy shit, you're right. +7,390 upvotes on the top comment. The next comments have only 149, 1194, 758, 476, 142, 310 upvotes - and then it drops off to double digits only.

      looks like every single comment is praising the OP anyway, though :|

    aktually sweaty #NotAllBosses

    :reddit-logo: loses their mind piles on dozens of rewards and thousands of updoots

    If any of my old bosses, even the one that I liked, would ask me to work a weekend they'd have to pay me through the fucking nose jfc

      100%. The business as extended family mindset is so ridiculous and one-way. There are no good bosses, only better or worse ones. Even the best would make their workers homeless if it was the only way to stay afloat

    If the mods had any sense they would have immediately removed this post and banned this individual from the sub, man antiwork is just full lib.

        reporting a thread with 15,000 upvotes, where all of the comments are praising the OP and one has 7300 upvotes?

        yeah that sub is just done, no point in reading or posting there

          Looking at the controversial posts and it's just peeps calling this guy out but are all down voted to Hell. This honestly seems like some astroturfing play going on

            Yeah, it's full blown fake now. They're just manipulating the sub to kill it and make it more tame for going public

    Every day, seven days a week, John Freeman woke before dawn, washed himself, then immediately headed off to work. He worked as hard as he was physically able-regardless of the kind of labor he was doing or how much he was paid for it- all day long. The only breaks he took were those necessary to keep his body functioning and for church on Sundays. After twelve or fourteen or even sixteen hours of labor, John Freeman put his head down and returned immediately to his home. He did not drink alcohol or smoke tobacco. He did not dance. He wore plain and simple clothes and ate plain and simple food. He spent not a single cent on anything for his own enjoyment and did not go anyplace for fun. He had sex only with his wife and only to make children, never for pleasure. Clarissa Freeman, John's wife, cooked and cleaned and straightened until she went to bed at night, shortly after supper. She never left the house. She never did anything for her personal pleasure. She covered her body from chin to toe in plain, drab, and formless clothing. She lived entirely for her husband and eight children. And she most certainly never had sex for fun.

    That's how the government expected free slaves to behave as free Americans. It's from a public school textbook.

      This is what techbros want the working class to be like, all over again. Ever argue with one of those "just eat rice and beans and have a half dozen side hustles" :reddit-logo: bazinga brains?

      No dancing… remember when anyone danced for fun, or like at all?

      I was really thrown for a loop by seeing the name John Freeman but no references to aliens and monsters attacking someone's place

    This is exactly what "education reform" ghouls like Bill Gates financed and it's what they got.

    Absence of class consciousness + Cultural Hegemony = An inability or lack of desire to fight for what's yours and the fostering of a "go along to get along" attitude amongst most of the population

      100%. Every time I have a good vent session with one of my coworkers it always starts with "this might be a bit harsh, but" and ends with "man, I'm so glad I'm not the only one"

    Mate, I've seen about a bazillion articles fawning over our royal family - and I know that there's a shrinking but still depressingly large number of people over here who read and actually agree with the sentiments that the chief parasite has been a parasite longer than any other parasite is worth cooing over.

    Yeah I dunno how people can be this servile but somehow they are.
