Happy #Caturday to y'all 😻
I wish I could spend mine with Fariña, but I gotta do capitalist stuff later on 😭 (i.e. work)

This is a call to smash the capitalist society. No wage increase is gonna make life better when the whole system is based on exploitation and domination.
If you can't strike, steal, sabotage, rage quit!

These tech companies that are having mass firings.. like cloudflare and discord - they're saying it's because of wanting to cut down on labour and increase efficiency (blah blah blah read maximise profits).

What are the chances it's because they're going to start (have started?) using AI?

(yes, i know AI isn't real and it's machine learning and deep learning.. but it's a misnomer that's become a title so don't lecture, thanks)

I've recently been confronted with how unprepared we really are for #ClimateCollapse. My workplace has been organizing an in-person event that was recently rescheduled due to #ClimateDistruption (nevermind that #CovidIsNotOver and there are new variants on the rise 🙄​). Instead of using this as an opportunity to think about the future of our work and #ClimateChange, everyone is making pithy statements about how this disaster is such a tragedy, but no one is making the connection that these tragedies are going to keep happening and we can't just continue working as though the world hasn't changed.

More and more, the work I do feels so meaningless, especially when it depends on continued #Ecocide and furthering a #pandemic by hosting all sorts of events that require people to fly, using up #FossilFuels and spreading #COVID.

There's a certain dynamic I've observed in several workplaces I've been in where a task in the project management system will be assigned to a lower ranking woman in the org, but the task is basically for her to frequently remind a higher ranking man to do something. (Note: In these instances, she's not his assistant or secretary.) Nominally, it's done this way because the man is supposedly busier than she is, but the #sexism of this dynamic isn't lost on me. It's putting the woman in the role of a sort of mother who nags the man to do something that he should be responsible enough to handle himself.

Unfortunately, I don't think US #LaborLaw recognizes this as #WorkplaceSexism, but it absolutely is.
