Executing a Mass Departmental Exodus in the Workplace?
rerunn asks: "The recent story about the consultants from JBOSS walking out couldn't have had better timing. I'll save the drama and cut to the scenario: You and a few close co-workers make up the core grunts of 'the department'. The company relies heavily on your department for many services, some of which, other departments cannot provide. You like your job, it provides great satisfaction. Suddenly, the company realizes its in deep financial shit, and starts making cut backs. This impacts the department. You suddenly find yourself working 50-60 hour weeks, put on call with no compensation, given unreasonable amounts of work and generally treated like dirt. You get the feeling that the company is just going to take advantage of you no matter how and what happens. You get together with the rest of the department for a 'fsck this company' meeting and decide to walk out. Have you ever done this?? (We are so close!) What was the outcome?"
Must there be profanity on the front page? That is offensive in the extreme, and also unprofessional. Words like that should not be used, when perfectly acceptable alternatives (such as "the company discovered in was in dire straits financially") would both be more eloquent and professional?
It may be illegal, but Bush and his cohorts are trying to legalize it, and good luck getting current laws enforced with Bushites running the DOL. Unionize and strike. I recommend the IWW.
How ya like dat?
While you're lounging, your former teammates are cleaning up after your mess. Oh yeah, and remind me to blacklist you as broadly as possible.
I agree, it's amazing that people are voting for this guy after his sending troops off to war for ficticious reasons which will increase terrorism, driving the economy into a train-wreck, and increasing spending to Reaganite levels, which serves to cripple government to the point that the next guys coming in office won't be able fund social programs. They are spending this much on purpose, the goal is destroy all social programs while benefitting the rich. The next guys coming in won't have a choice but to raise taxes even more, and spend the money on "defense" (AKA gravy train for large corporations) which is bigger than the 2nd largest military 10 times over. All that money isn't spent on protecting us, folks.
Forget walking out
;)
fuck one of the managers wifes, or daugther if u don't want to fuck some 50 year old skank.
Either should be equally easy, a 50 year old skank will be bored of her husband and probably doesn't have a huge social life OTOH the daughter will think your cool becuase of you being an older man she can show off to her college friends. (And the AUDI TT you own)
Do this in their office and make sure you get caught, get a friend to ask the boss for some report while you are fucking his daughter/wife.
that should get you fired and on the unemplyoment pretty quickly
There is no god
This is precisely the point of UNIONS. They are GOOD, they are RIGHT, they are on your side.
Yup... they sure worked well for the auto and steel industries in the USA. We've lost count of how many of those good manufacturing jobs were shipped overseas. And to make matters worse, now those same unions that supposedly cared about your job before it was shipped off are now trying to organize that foreign labor!
There was another example of this that occurred literally down the door from me. There are a lot of Mexican field workers picking mushrooms on the farms here (Chester County, PA) and a few years back they tried to organize in protest of bad working conditions. Eventually they were allowed to organize. What was their reward for this effort? They were replaced with different people.
In case of fire, do not use elevator. Use water!
I was going to suggest unionizing, but like I said, I Am Not A Lawyer Or A Union Organizer.
Unions are for sissies who don't have the brains or the skills to stand on their own two feet.
