nursing tendonitis in my rotator cuff right now from the second thing. and i'm a big strong girl. from working 45-48 hr weeks for the last couple months. had to call out (i very rarely do, like once every few years at most)
no sympathy, no compromise. also sometimes if you are considered a "high performer" you have to make a statement.
i think everyone might be ready to sign union cards in a few more months
Reminds me of working in a grocery warehouse when covid hit. Mandatory 12 hour shifts for a 60 hour work week. And if they were feeling nice, they'd get a couple of boxes of Lunchables to give to employees on break. And that was with a union.
Oh and then I got shitcanned because I was getting a good bit of tendinitis, so they make me go to the employee doctor. They made me take a drug test even though I shouldn't have taken one because of the nature of my injury. Then I got fired for THC in my system in a legal cannabis state.
My union steward who when I first met him told me "management are cops, im your lawyer, don't say shit to cops" had gotten a promotion and decided he liked management after that.
yeah that's the reason why i never declare them workplace injuries. just "repetitive stress" which isn't covered in my state.
god that shit sucks with them popping you (also in legal state myself). i went through covid too about the same (like 40+ continuous days). i was a manager myself at the time, newly minted. i decided i was going to step down eventually even if it ended up taking a few years
no union but i will say i was the least cop-like manager. used to tell my crew if they wanted to unionize I would immediately step down and assist so not to get in trouble with NLRB. radicalized my entire team.
now I know all the inside shit and procedures and anti-union talking points so I'm probably more dangerous as a "respected former manager".
Oh totally a good lesson for me in yet another way the system can and will fuck you over.
Always good to get more knowledge and use it to take these behemoths down.
