Am I just too old school?
Like I don't think it makes sense to do these protests at work. I get there are cases where your employer is doing something immoral. But maybe just switch jobs if you are that upset about it?
- owebmaster 1y agoWhy not protest and switch jobs? One is not old school by been submissive, I'm old school and I'm not like that.
- pbiggar 1y agoI would argue that if your employer is helping a genocide, it's everyone's responsibility to fight it.
- Aeolun 1y agoSure, but do you help fight it by spamming the entire company with a bunch of mail?
- pbiggar 1y agoSurely you fight it by any means necessary? It's a genocide! Microsoft's tools and servers and people were involved in killing way over 60,000 people (and plausibly 300,000). I don't know how anyone could sit idly by in that situation.

- drweevil 1y agoI'm frankly a bit shocked by the equivalence here: genocide not worth spamming. Please tell me this was sarcasm.
- mrguyorama 1y agoActually creating spam and noise in an organization is one of the classic ways to sabotage and hurt it, as described in the CIA's simple sabotage field manual.

- eesmith 1y agoI don't think you know what "old school" means. Old school Polaroid employees back in the 1970s started the Polaroid Revolutionary Workers’ Movement to successfully pressure Kodak to stop their secret support for apartheid South Africa. Labor strikes are also an old school alternative to "just switch jobs."
- croes 1y agoBut if you want to change something, how does it help to switch the job?
- suraci 1y ago> But maybe just switch jobs if you are that upset about it? That's the gentler way to strike. As members of the working class, we technically have the freedom to choose which employer we sell our labor to - but we are forced to sell our labor an employer to survive So, in reality, it's hard It's like saying, "But maybe just don’t get sick if you can’t afford medical treatment"
