A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

He says on the holiday dedicated to the freeing of the slaves. It’s no coincidence this the one he complains about.

[–] cecinestpasunbot@lemmy.ml 55 points 2 days ago

Kind of telling to be complaining about this on a day which celebrates the end of slavery.

"the workers don't want it"

Imagine being this guy and trying to speak for the working class

And having legal adults stop and think, "Hmm, maybe this day off thing IS kinda woke."

I hate paid time off. It’s one of the greatest crimes of modern life. I think I’ll campaign to have my union dismantled and my pay cut in half because the current model is clearly ripping off my employer.

Keep in mind that the guy complaining about PTO hasn’t worked a day in his life.

"Yeah, PTO is gay!" - Guy who works part-time at Dollar General.

We have the least mandated PTO in the developed world and a good portion of the underdeveloped world.

Our federal holidays aren't even days off for most people. Lol

My opinion of him can't be lower but man I keep realizing how fucking stupid his supporters are with every one of his asinine comments.

Yeah I called Juneteenth getting axed over a month ago and one of my co-workers chimed in that Juneteenth was a Trump holiday. It isn't, it was signed into law by Biden his first year in office. Trump lied about it while campaigning.

One of the country with the least amount of paid vacation in the world. And that's the hill he decides to climb on. He excels at making himself look increasingly moronic.

And here we see this buffoon once again viciously attacking his political enemies...(Flips papers)...

I doubt he cares about holidays at all, but he very much cares about removing a holiday that is specifically relevant to not white people.

I was taking with a family member yesterday and said I'd be shocked if Juneteenth is still a holiday next year.

America produces way more than enough to allow everyone to live comfortably and enjoy life. But the fruits of all that extra productivity is being hoarded by a tiny portion of the population while workers are being increasingly stretched and strained to extract as much value from then as possible while paying them as least as possible.

The scarcity of wealth and the need to always work harder and longer hours to barely make it is an illusion maintained to exploit the workers.

[–] kn0wmad1c@programming.dev 67 points 2 days ago (1 children)

And the fact he posted this on Juneteenth is just coincidence, right?

It would be fun to make Trump work a job for 90 days. Nothing major. Maybe answering phones for a help line.

9 to 5 desk job.

Monday through Friday.

If he misses a day he has to "find a new job" and start over.

The dude would fucking CRACK like he was being waterboarded!

Don't these holidays cost owners rather than workers, though?

I used to love working holidays as a single guy for that double pay. πŸ€‘

No holidays means only 1x pay πŸ‘Ž nevermind if you just wanted to take the day off without getting docked.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

Didn't he just create like two new holidays?

[–] b3an@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago

Go play golf and change your diaper grandpa, you’re getting crabby.

And he seriously said this, what the actual fuck. It seemed so absurd that i had to look up, and yeah its there...
