I agree but that doesn't really clear up what I was trying to understand?

I just imagine you as like a stiff Japanese business man and you're constantly holding up a katana, waiting to cut someone's head off for a petty crime.
Nah, they won't do it anymore.
And your example of people “ending up on the streets” is such a fucking edge case.
It's really not. See Portland, Oregon. It's pretty much over run with homeless people at this point.
Right? I'm trying to figure out how I could be a tankie but also in the US...
sure, just sign up to like 10 credit cards, max them out getting good reliable camping equipment, and take a large loan out for one of those survival vans and flea the country
This must be the same thought process of the people I see living in camping vans and tents down the street from me.
The government is legally authorized to separate you from your possessions, your freedom, and even your life in extremis. Your boss can’t do any of that and if they try the government should stop them.
there was just a work email put out where I work about how employees shouldn't be going to the bathroom super often and if they are in the bathroom they should only be doing bathroom things.
I can't report them for that but it is fucking extreme and dehumanizing. To be policed in the bathroom. Because company time is more important than bodily functions. Or whatever other reason someone might be in the bathroom.
Really? What's wrong with someone having a say in who their boss is?
pay bills past their due.
I hate that all my bills are like forced automation so I can't plan out when I can pay them, I'm forced to pay them all at the beginning/end of the month - there's no options to change the date any more and if you call up and ask, they get all weepy and apologize that they can't offer a different date to pay.
So I'm just forced to let them all go through and then play catch up cause of how I get paid not lining up with the end/start of every month.
Thankfully my job will reimburse me for one of my bills but of course they take fucking forever to process the reimbursement.
I will continue running mine with an iron fist as a dictatorship
Why do you talk like you're in a kung fu movie?
god forbid someone steal a packet of soy sauce.
yeah I use to work at a place that had "CSAT" I don't remember what it stands for but a lot of companies use it and some use it more than others.
Basically it's the same but usually those surveys provide open ended comments where the customers can rip you a new one if they feel like they didn't get what they wanted. You could be telling a customer no based on policy, and then a manage will see the bad review and use that to give you a talking to about work improvement.
It's so incredibly backwards.
