The dreaded "Finding Out" stage of "Fucking Around"

yet totally unsurprising.

"Employer not paying you enough? I'll do it for half! HAHAHA!"

Understandable, unions tend to require qualifications beyond lift this and push a button.


But I thought you were the one who thought thieves should be beaten or shot in the act?
scabbing to aid an employer in avoiding good faith negotiations with a labour organization is theft.

I think you mean "yelling at the new guy for working too hard and raising the bar too high for everyone else." That's not how I operate.

Bullshit. Interfering with my ability to feed myself is theft. You try to take food off my table and we're gonna have a problem.

Yeah it is.
Just swap physical grinding for education, and yelling for homophobic insinuations, and yeah, that's you all over.

I'm sure that made sense in your head.

I'll dummy it down for that glob of congealed dogfood you use for a brain.
You're just as lazy and jealous as union guys, just about different things.
Better, snookums?
Has the headache subsided?

Did Albert get a new job? As I understood his ramblings, he's been a machinist for quite a few years, which wouldn't make him the new guy. More the beaten-down old hack who can't afford to lose his job because his aging ass won't get re-employed, so he'll kiss the employer's boot.

If he DOES have a new job, why did he leave the old one?

Bull shit... it's their job. You're undermining that.... parasite.

and no, that'd be yelling a the new guy for not following established procedures in the SOP manual/OSHA/WHIMIS that'll get the line shut down.

if you'd ever shown the ambition /responsibility/reliability to lead in life, maybe you'd comprehend that?

No, if you pay attention, you would know I wouldn't work for a union shop. What I described was secondhand experiences of other people, and it's surprisingly consistent about union shops beng full of people making the absolute minimum effort while demanding maximum rewards.

The last job I remember him discussing was a call center he stayed at because they didn't drug test and him shitting bricks over direct deposit back in the 2000s, back when he still passed for a sane human being.

Fuck you, entitled assbag who is SO FUCKING ENTITLED you think you get to decide when OTHER people may work.

Oh, look. A gossip whore crawled out of the shadows to feed on drama.

This is the clearest admission possible that he creates drama in the first place.

Funny, I've never been unionized but I've met all kinds of the same lazy fucks, including one bitch who called out on 3 in every five shifts and took six months for Target to sack because of California law. She's the direct reason I didn't get two days off in a row for eight months.

Yet, I recognize the laws exist for a reason to keep employees from firing people over petty squabbles or poor training on behalf of management *cough* Kearny Mesa Acura *cough* laws sometimes protect shitty people but I'd rather a few bad apples get due diligence than throw all protections out.

Well since UA is a perfect employee who would never fuck up and would be so valuable that an employer would never want to get rid of him, he doesn't need any protection from anyone.

UA has already answered that in his way...

Says the guy who continually refuses to go out into the Colorado wilderness to show off his Grizzly Adams skills.
No, he'll slurp off of society until the apocalypse like the hypocrite he is.
Do you think he's got his survival garden at the ready; or he just stocked up on one month of doomsday lentils from Pat Robertson, and thinks "there, that's got it"?

There’s bears out there.

True. Colorado has a lot of bears.

You're the thieving little piece of shit that'd happily cross a picket line.

Fucking deluded parasite.

isn't that called "working smarter"
or does that only count for the paper pushers?

seriously, I have never encountered such a company man in my life... "Napoleon is always right... I must work harder".

from what he's told us of his job, it sounds like he's about one skill set above a temp. it isn't that he wouldn't work union, but that it's dubious he has the qualifications

Funny that the picket line exists because the employer is interfering with its employees' ability to feed themselves with substandard wage{s} {increases} or bad working conditions.

(Curly brackets to circumvent a format code trigger from a square bracket)

If he were married with a kid, his wife wouldn't put up with that shit.

UA- Oooohh, my deep philosophical commitment to my libertarian...

Wife- Union shop pays 3 times more, you're taking the fucking union job.

Do you seriously think employers (and indeed every business) aren't constantly doing the same thing? Keeping all their costs as low as possible while charging their customers as much as possible for delivering as little as possible?

Why begrudge workers for doing the same thing?

He's such a fucking lickspittle.

One of these day he’s gonna be rich. You’ll see

Boy, there’s a word you don’t encounter very often these days.

It's a favorite of mine. Believe it or not, It was from an episode of the Simpsons (Berns verkaufen der Kraftwerk) where Mr. Burns refers to Smithers as his "lickspittle." I've remembered it ever since. It's just one of those words that fits so well sometimes you have to use it.

People like you think you get to dictate my priorities and tell me when I may work.

People like you may go fuck yourselves.

Asked and answered. Union thugs don't get to dictate terms to me.

And before some smug douchecannon tries to turn that backwards, no. I can quit my job if I don't like the terms. My employer isn't dictating anything.

Also UA- You're making me punch out for overtime? Yes, master!
