I would bet if you did a survey and asked whether you think it's appropriate to post spicy memes and organize against your employer on the company's time and systems you'd see a clear correlation with income levels. The lower the income the more bizarre they would consider that behavior
- unsupp0rted 5y agoI would guess it's the reverse, judging by /r/WorkReform. It's tens of thousands of people who categorically refuse to understand what employers hire people for, in principle. Some % of them does understand what a business is, why businesses hire people, and why and how our systems can be realistically reformed to improve conditions for all workers. But most people don't. I wouldn't be surprised if many of them see the option of posting spicy memes and organizing against one's employer on company time as a fundamental human right.

- unsupp0rted 5y agoI do think it’s representative of a commonly-encountered sentiment, especially in the younger generation’s working class.
- ClumsyPilot 5y agoI bet if you did a survey and asked whether you think it's appropriate to critisize the political elite of the country in public, you'd see a clear correlation with income levels. In the lower income countries the more bizarre they would consider this behaviour. Perhaps we should conclude that blind servitude is a bad idea and one should not allow onceself to be exploited.
