[QUOTE="rickyb, post: 3871665, member: 56035"] at my job theres a ton of memos about stealing time, using your phone on the job, sneaking away from work, etc. this is because capitalism is inefficient and workers are paid by the hour regardless of how much or little work they do. recently i had to explain to a supervisor and another coworker that we are paid by the hour so of course guys are gonna be slacking. the coworker i close with is part of the union but hes in a position with more supervisory responsibilities. anyways hes one of these guys who doesnt slack as much as the others and actually hes one of the few guys in his position to tell other guys to worker harder. today 4 of the guys decided to completely waste time and :censored: the dog to teach him a lesson. i told him he should just relax, and it usually doesnt matter how hard the other guys work unless were actually gonna finish early, because i stay at the same speed regardless. 1 of the other coworkers today said the idea i thought of which is working hard causes lay offs, and gets rid of OT. a guy at my job escaped communist romania. today he elaborated and said there was little to no heat last 10 years. he was there until he was 36. there was food but not much else. initially everyone was paid the same, but then they got rid of that. he said there were spies. it was illegal to protest. they shot at windows to scare people from even considering it. people died during the revolution but in other countries it wasnt violent according to him. he said something similar to what may happen here which sounds like a "cleansing" of certain political, religious, sexual, etc affiliations. college was free depending on how much money your parents made. he left after the revolution and wanted a better standard of living.
