working for a very small company with a boss and job i like has in some ways made me a worse socialist and in other ways made me even more firm in my socialist beliefs
#like basically yes i do the occasional unpaid overtime bc i am well aware of the lack of room in the budget for overtime#and there’s shit that needs to get done and no one else to do it bc i’m one of 5 full time employees#which does make me a bad socialist i know i shouldn’t do it#to be clear i’m not being told to work off the clock i’m just not allowed overtime and have been choosing to work over unpaid#rather than leave things undone and make life harder for my future self#anyway but this has also really strengthened my conviction that capitalism is inherently evil#like it is morally wrong of my boss to say no overtime when there is more work to do than can be done in a 40 hour week#but also she works SIGNIFICANTLY more overtime than i do and i know we genuinely can’t afford it and that she doesn’t want to forbid it#but despite her being the most fair boss i’ve ever had and genuinely wanting to pay employees the highest wage she can#and caring about us as humans#the structure of capitalism is such that if she wants to continue running this business she basically has to do shit like that#like basically unless the company becomes internally socialist (this is rural conservative christian south carolina - not happening)#these things pretty much have to happen there has to be a level of exploitation and objectification#not making excuses for her but it’s just proving that even with the best intentions capitalism corrupts
