why do I feel like this is closely connected to the way in which we have created an image and narrative of poor people? this notion of having to control low-paid workers because surely we'll all out to do nothing and "steal" the money for it, while sitting in some office or getting paid a few digits more automatically makes a wealthier hence morally more upstanding person

#this!!!#i had this exact thing happen to me so much #the best was when in my low-paid service job we'd be 8 people and literally not a single job came in so we hd nothing to do #we'd get shit for looking at a phone or even just sitting and chatting #and our shifts were 9.5hrs! my brother in christ what else were we gonna do #meanwhile big corporate marketing or sme administration #and we're watching films in slow periods and have 2hr lunches or come at 11am or my fave #figure out funny games where you need to type so it might look like we're working from the outside #like wtf is wrong with capitalism for creating bullshit jobs that pay me for hardly anything #vs actual necessary jobs that are paid shit-all and controlled like everyone is a criminal out to steal the boss' money directly
