The boss wants to sit down with us troublemakers, and we figure we might as well. It’s not going to sway us from our goal, if anything, it will be another chance to slap the boss around again.

Actually I have to say that when I tried to unionize my office togheter with some collegues (we were in the very early stages of trying to figure what we needed to do), the manager requested a meeting with all of us “troublemakers” (only the ones they knew where getting involved in lamenting the low wages) and I have to say that (after a group meeting and some individual meetings) they succeeded in stopping, at least for the time, the “energy” of the movement. Some people just didn’t feel anymore like “risking” it.

So, I guess my suggestion is to be careful about who goes in what meeting, especially in the very early stages, because some people might chicken out, and then other people might see those people and feel like unionizing is going too far.

Because of this, we had to stop at getting a small wage increase for our team alone, and now, only after a year, is some of that energy, to do something about the wage and the workplace, coming back.

We can do a dialectical analysis here, because he revolutionized something, Gabe Newell is like Mao, but he is also unlike Mao, for that he isn’t Chinese.

I have actually seen posted online here in Bulgaria that TikTok (through sub-contracts with another company) is still hiring for moderators in Sofia for a lot of languages.

So I think its a more common case of relocating to a cheaper country, maybe?
Or maybe they are actually reducing head-count and keeping a smaller team in Bulgaria?

I don’t know any inside information so I can’t be 100% sure of what’s going on.

That’s actually kind of fun:

"Why on Earth do you think I go out of my way to use those blasted search operators if you’re just going to completely IGNORE them?! Brave Search is utterly PATHETIC—so incompetent that they just dismiss the operators because they CLAIM there aren’t enough results. THAT’S THE ENTIRE POINT of using search operators in the first place! I DON’T want a ton of junky, irrelevant results; I want just a FEW GOOD ONES! This is basic, essential, COMMON SENSE! Now! Get your act together and SEARCH “spouse husband” PROPERLY for me—do the job right so I finally get the RESULTS I NEED!

Imagine, if you will, telling you to make me a simple sandwich with TWO ingredients, and instead, you go and THROW IN a thousand more just because you think it’s “not enough.” THAT’S NOT WHAT I ASKED FOR!

And tell me—WHAT’S the POINT of having this “search operator” feature if you’re just going to completely FLUB it and IGNORE it at will?! What’s the USE of a tool that the system simply DISRESPECTS and dismisses on a whim?! I am the ONE sitting behind the wheel, I’m the ONE with the goals, and I DEMAND you do what I ask! Stop wasting my time with idiocy!"

The freedom to starve if you can’t find a job fast enough in “insert any capitalist country” and never see any real improvement in your life is a foundamental part of democracy that we must defend!

Ferrero being Italian, are they going to put figurines in the cereals now?

I guess Bulgarian is not a language lol.

I wanted to send it to a friend but I guess not, that said I love the silliness of it so if there is a way to contribute I’ll ask them to translate it and I’ll try to send it to be added to the page.

Hey, I see you are from feddit.it, as a fellow Italian I can tell you that a lot of people I know buy from shein and Temu too.

I guess it’s just very common among the youth

I guess you are only allowed to vote for as long as you vote for what/who you are told to vote for

Me, a one layer of irony understander, when i’m told that a second layer of irony is in the post:
