Yeah this is one of the reasons labor needs to organize.
There's one boss telling 500 workers that they all need to work themselves to death? Fuck that. We outnumber him. We could be productive without burnout and things could be fine.
For anyone else reading this: you could be the one to make that change, and gain you and your coworkers better pay and time off.
Seriously consider joining the IWW. They'll train you on how to organize your coworkers and form a grassroots union, no matter what your job is.
Thanks for the recommendation. I am heartened by recent pushes towards unions. In particular, tech workers are beginning to understand that they are workers (as opposed to the narrative that tech workers exist at a level above the kind of people who need unions).
I haven't heard of the IWW, but the website for the UK branch has the headline "Bigoted bourgeoisie courts never cared about workers, whether cis or trans" (regarding a recent UK supreme court ruling). I haven't read the article, but that headline has given me a strong first impression of these guys. They seem pretty based
I've been excited at that development as well. It's honestly a bit baffling it took them so long, especially game developers, where extreme crunch time and post release seasonal layoffs are the norm.
The IWW is the only union that leans heavily anarchist, with a rich history going back to 1905. :)
Unfortunately there is a pyramid scheme in place filled with fools that think they can become that one and are willing to fight against those "beneath" them.
True. There are also many idiots who think like, "I work hard and when I take a break it's well deserved. When they take a break, they're lazy good-for-nothings".
There's a name for this I can't remember right now. Something more specific than "stupid" or "no empathy".
