I dont accept the "im just a worker and powerless." Employees have more agency than any customer and also the execs are themselves just employees working a job.

- Spivak 2y agoYou can't really draw an equivalence between a grocery store cashier and their director of pricing in terms of agency. It just doesn't make sense, what do you want them to do? Complain to their manager who also doesn't set the prices? The thoughts of a random rank-and-file employee fall on deafer ears than a customer. You have a better chance of getting a meeting with an executive with decision making power than the cashier. If the cashier makes noise they'll be fired and replaced, they can't fire you. Berating literally the lowest-ranked employee at a company who if they had any agency at all wouldn't be working that job will accomplish nothing except making their day worse.
