For Norwegians that might be following:

Fagforbundet og Norsk Folkehjelp har gått igjennom fondene som norske banker tilbyr til sine kunder for å se om de er investert i selskaper med virksomhet på okkupert palestinsk område.  Vi oppfordrer deg til å sjekke banken din.

Etter at du har sjekket banken du er kunde i, kan du sende en epost gjennom "gi beskjed" knappen. Fagforbundet har laget en mal, så alt du trenger å gjøre er og oppgi navn og epostadresse.

Del gjerne med venner og familie som ikke er på Tumblr.

Reframing common employer phrases into plainspeak

Laziness = poor ppl resting/playing, ever

Working vacation = rich ppl getting paid to rest/play

Rage applying = looking for a better job

Rage quitting = leaving toxic job/boss

Quiet quitting = refusing to do free labor

Blackmail = employees leveraging anything

Insubordination = talking about pay at work

Company culture = guilt trips & pizza as pay

Morality clause = make us look bad, get fired

"We're like family" = "we ask for favors, then never pay you back"

"We expect everyone to pitch in" = "we expect you to do free labor"

"HR is here to help you" = "HR is here to stop you from suing us"

Thx for coming to my TedTalk

I could, perhaps, work faster if I were not lying down. However—and this is important—it is essential to my brain function to remain horizontal at this time.

How do you feel about the increase in really weird NSFW ads on here (advertising panels that look like sexual encounters, and AI art apps that pride themselves on porn) but will take down NSFW posts from their users, even if it isn't technically sexual.

i hate all social media and it's consistent prioritising the advertisers over the users and the internet simply was a better place before capitalism sunk its hooks into it

Here's hoping your coworkers recognize the value of unionisation ASAP. :)

lol thanks 😂 four of us had a phone call with someone from the union yesterday, so some of them are engaged. Just not enough yet... and I'm worried this will be a case of bystander mentality where a big chunk of them won't be willing to do the bare minimum of signing up and instead just sit back, assuming that someone else (aka me) will do the work to fix it, and then eagerly accept any pay increase and rights we're able to achieve. So that's fun...

I love that Gen Z is entering the workforce and, from day fucking one, they understand and make it very clear that the job is not their life and they will not be performing any employment tasks outside of paid hours.

Goddamn, I love it. I am truly, unironically joyous about this uptick in resistance.

tumblr users who are otherwise good about being skeptical that the utterly defenseless and voiceless would be effectively protected by the systems we have in place want so badly to believe that animal abuse simply does not happen, and if it does it gets caught right away, and that laws and regulations around it both qualify things we would find horrific as "abuse" and are reliably enforced and everything is just completely fine and good, they will fully and uncritically believe that the very first person who confidently says what they want to hear is surely honest and unbiased and has a complete and representative picture of the global situation

like. I'm not claiming to have done extensive research in this area. But I didn't have to do very much to find very recent stories of the horrific conditions animals used for testing have been found to be in. using sentient creatures as commodities is just always going to be rife with abuse-- is inherently abusive and should be treated like the tragedy it is, one to be minimized wherever possible and hopefully, someday, with enough progress, avoided entirely.

just like, god, remembering dairyisntscary and the way everyone on this website sucked them off every time they posted about how cows in the dairy industry are all healthy and happy and treated wonderfully and I mean really we're doing them a favor and it's just great all the time, pay no attention to the actual industry-standard practices and all the laws preventing activists from recording video footage of factory farms, I'm sure that doesn't mean anything, it's fine
