Reminder that the reason employers ban gossiping in the workplace is to silence workers from banding together which often results in combating abuse in the workplace and solving workplace issues. Gossiping can lead to the formation of unions which employers don't like so they've made up the issue of "workplace bullying".

Lol, when people tell me "work is not the place for politics" Their jaws always hit the floor when I tell them "actually I think work is the most important place to discuss politics that there is"

It's really, really, funny, actually, lol.
People who don't understand why though are so fucking brainless. It's amazing, really.

If you can't use gossiping for the formation of unions, use something else.
Or just make gossiping appear as "combating abuse in the workplace and solving workplace issues" by mimicking the appropriate social rituals while gossiping.

Pizza delivery driver fifth of 10-most dangerous jobs

According to the BLS, 334 delivery drivers (transporting food and goods) lost their lives from 2015 to 2019. While most fatalities resulted from transportation accidents, almost 17 percent occurred due to intentional injuries in an assault, robbery, or homicide.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), a pizza delivery driver is at a higher risk of injury and death than a construction worker or police officer. BLS statistics reported of the 5,553 total workplace fatalities that occurred throughout the country, delivery drivers made up 1,005 of them.


Opportunistic crimes might include snatching a few packages or robbing a delivery worker on their way back to a vehicle. Theft crimes are only the beginning of the risk that drivers face. There have been reported assaults and even homicides involving delivery drivers in recent years.Sep 14, 2023

When I was 17 I applied for a very good civil service career scheme and got post all of the intelligence tests and initial interview. The next stage was an interview day exactly like this and I said fuck it and withdrew my application. I still wonder what would have happened had I went through with it.

Once upon a time in a bustling city, there was a mysterious corporation known for its eccentric hiring practices. Rumors whispered through the streets, speaking of a place where job interviews were not what they seemed – a place known only as "The Interview Chamber."

Desperation led a young professional named Alex to apply for a position at this enigmatic company. After a grueling application process, Alex received an invitation for an interview at The Interview Chamber. The address led to an obscure building, overshadowed by the towering skyscrapers of the city.

Upon entering the building, Alex was greeted by an eerie silence. The receptionist's smile seemed forced as they handed over a nondescript keycard and gestured towards the elevator. The higher the elevator ascended, the more ominous the atmosphere became.

The Interview Chamber awaited on the top floor, a dimly lit room with a single chair positioned across from a massive, antique mirror. As Alex settled into the chair, the interviewer, Mr. Blackwood, emerged from the shadows.

Mr. Blackwood's questions were bizarre, delving into personal fears, childhood memories, and the darkest corners of the mind. The mirror seemed to shimmer with an otherworldly glow as if absorbing Alex's responses.

As the interview progressed, strange occurrences unfolded. Shadows danced across the walls, and whispers echoed through the chamber. Alex's reflection in the mirror appeared distorted, revealing a nightmarish version of themselves.

Suddenly, the room plunged into darkness. The only source of light was the haunting glow of the mirror. Mr. Blackwood's voice, now cold and distant, spoke cryptic words that seemed to pierce through the very soul.

My grandparents owned a drug store. They had employees.
They made little money because they had to buy their product from middlemen who had a de facto monopoly on this activity.
They lived in an uninsulated home without toilets.
They finished on the street when the marts began to open.

Somehow, I find difficult to name them capitalists or bourgeois on anything else than a theoretical level.

Found this scathing but informative critique of how working in the military really works. It covers many subjects but I think this one about Special Forces is particularly interesting.
>continued: Did you ever notice when they talk about SOCOM being created, they always say "as a response to what happened in Operation Eagle Claw"? Notice their words very carefully. They never say "to prevent 'disasters' or 'failures'" like Eagle Claw. No. Always "in response to". What they mean is SOCOM wasn't created "to make the various units communicate and work with each other" or some shit that people say. No, it was restructured so they can escape scrutiny WHEN they fuck up. It was created to save all these military bureaucrats careers, so their fuck ups NEVER see scrutiny. Not only to the public, but to congress and even the pentagon who are supposed to hold them accountable. So now when they fuck up, they can paper over everything with "classified" LOL. I bet the causality rates in Tier 1 operations routinely exceed 50%. And for what? The guys are sent on pointless missions chasing mundane ragheads so the higher brass can make a huge profit and great career prospects. So when these "operators" always brag about the "sacrifices" they made, remind them that their "sacrifices" were for some hidden military brass's CAREERS, not their "country", etc. LOL

The bradley worked great despite all the laughs of pentagon wars.

Creating a new thing which solves the problem is good, particularly when you fucked up trying to do something new.

The M113 guy is retarded, and if his ideas were followed, you wouldn't see many of the great, effective products which make the NATO military the best in the world.

I love the hilarious image of operators taking 50% casualties regularly, but they're not actually used to win wars, just posturing, so they don't see enough engagement to take real casualties like you'd see in something like the civil war.

In the gulfwar 1990-91 "Desert Storm", sure, it destroyed loads of ancient badly maintained Iraqi tanks, that still had hand-cranked turrets. Out of the 2k bradleys only a handful got destroyed.
But in the recent Ukraine war, not so much, bradleys got chewed up.

Soldiers, at least in the west are mercenaries who fight for corporations and I am tired to pretend otherwise.
In Russia it's the same but for oligarchs.

Anyone else find it ridiculous that jobs are able to drug test you for what you are doing outside of work? If I want to smoke weed or shoot heroin outside of work I don't see why I shouldn't be able to do it.

If I'm drunk or high on the job that's one thing but I don't think people should be allowed to be fired for what they do outside of work. Especially, yeah, when alcohol (arguably one of the most destructive Drugs ever) is legal and B: When it's 2022 and pretty much everyone and granny is stoned out of their mind.

What's the deal with this? Why are people willing to literally let their employers anal rape them?
