The fact that most European companies treat their non-European employees like shit- despite the fact that Western Europeans enjoy the highest level of workers' rights in the world- just because they can get away with it in the United States or whatever is proof why regulations are needed.
European workers are only treated better than their American counterparts because there are laws protecting them, not because European corporations are so much more humanitarian than American companies. Never forget that under capitalism companies will exploit you for all you're worth and all they can legally get away with.
#post inspired by my partner working as a contractor at IKEA and being treated like absolute shit with no benefits or a permeant position#while her European counterparts got amazing benefits and were always talking about their many vacations#also my mom worked at a German-owned company where the employees were treated just as bad as your average American worker#COMPANIES WANT TO EXPLOIT YOU!!! WE NEED LAWS TO PROTECT US!!!#fuck capitalism#capitalism#leftism#workers rights#labor rights

Tbh I’m surprised zag never helped the employees at the house of hades unionize
#idk he seems to help with everyone else’s issues#just think about it! dusa. achilles. the head chef. the house contractor. all the shades in the administrative chamber#(not including gods like hypnos and than and meg because although they are technically in his service their jobs are also their reason for-#-existing so I feel that doesn’t count)#technically skelly is employed by charon so he can’t a part of this but the thought of him saying ‘workers of the world unite boyo!’ is-#-endlessly amusing to me#anyways#workers rights for the house of hades#hades game#zagreus#the house of hades

How can I bribe you into helping me get a job in the industry, other than promising my undying love, which you already have <3
The industry is horrible and awful, low pay, long hours, no real chance of advancing.
Whenever people touring the station or new interns ask me for advice, I always tell them to change careers lol
#ask#plus; i'm a producer for a statewide channel sure; but it's nothing huge or glam#like;; i've gotten to work with celebrities but that's more luck than normal operations#and i've said 'i don't hate what i'm doing i hate where i do it' so much for so long that i don't even believe it anymore#i would only wish a career in television on people i hate#but i do try to be even minded as best i can; like i'm acutely aware i work in probably one of the most toxic environments in the state#i've been sexually harassed; grabbed; locked in a room and screamed at by a psycho freelance producer#been injured and seen graphic injuries that happened because of incompetence; seen theft and assault#and had the men at work get aggressive with me because i'm the youngest and shortest and only woman#told by management i was only given opportunities because i'm a woman and it looks better for their image if they pretend to put me up fron#had my bosses retaliate against me for refusing to do illegal things for them#to the point where i was below the poverty line for several months because of it#told by hr that i have no right to complain about anything because even though i run their biggest show i'm just a contractor#had my work stolen and other people's names put on it so those people get the emmys that my work has earned#and lied to about pay rates so I wouldn't know I'm paid less than the men who have fewer responsibilities and less experience than i do#and now they're waging a war against LGBT employees by promoting ultra-right viewpoints and banning mentions of pride#so no i really don't want to help bring anyone into this environment#every day driving in and driving home i just think about driving my car into a concrete wall#i'm looking for a new job i promise

Ah.
So therein lies the source of the competition.
#interesting.#barry and iris were missing at that time as well but it was 'wheres wally?'#this might be one of the very few times one of these isn't about Barry tbh#but i get it. Bart and Wally got pretty close right before the reboot. they've got a whole brotherly bond thing going on#so this makes sense for him. i mean just look at how Bart reacted when Barry came back.#he was mad because Wally was Bart's Flash and he didn't want Barry coming in and messing that up#so Bart is fairly protective over his relationship with Wally#and Ace? i mean Ace is Wally's brother. like literally. also Ace is Wally's Kid Flash. Ace is Wally's first Kid Flash#(Bart was an independent contractor)#so Ace has a mentor and brotherly relationship to protect#also on top of that? Ace had/has a mentor relationship with Barry that didn't go so great. Ace knows what its like for that bond to weaken#and he DOESN'T LIKE IT#so Ace has stake in the game. he has trauma and hes not letting this Flash go#actually really interesting because i thought itd be about Jay or Barry tbh with Wally being a mediator of sorts.#with him sharing about how he struggled with those same feelings and issues when he was younger#but nah hes the focal point apparently which is wild. thats kinda new territory. it's interesting. i like it#dc#dc comics#the flash#kid flash#wally west#impulse#bart allen#ace west#wallace west#one minute war

I'm so close to escaping insurance claim hell, I can almost taste it
#i think the hurdle in front of me is that 1. i got better quality shingles#and i'm afraid the adjuster is going to be snarling gnashing his teeth ripping me to shreds#i don't know if i need to acknowledge that i know the claim doesn't cover an upgrade or just forward the invoice along without a peep#and 2. the other part of the claim on all the stupid window wraps the contractor isn't going to do#until he replaces the other windows (which the claim has nothing to do with) and that won't be for another month or so#and idk if the adjuster is going to be#snarling gnashing his teeth ripping me to shreds on that either#i feel like a huge part of all my fears on this claim is all the bullshit i had to go through last time#and they were definitely snarling gnashing their teeth you did this WRONG!!!! even though no one ever told me what me the ~right~ way was

#cassy bitches#i am. so fucking tired and annoyed and stressed#our fucking shower hasn't worked in two weeks bc my parter decided to remodel and then didnt finish the job!#and now her fucking sibling fucked up our dishwasher and it leaked water EVERYWHERE including apparently under the floorboards#and im pretty sure i can smell black mold in the kitchen now which! great! another nightmare we're gonna have to fix ourselves#since we cant afford to get a contractor and even if we could no one ever returns our calls when we do try to hire someone#AND my friend went to surgery for appendicitis and that's freaking me out#and ON TOP of that ive been creatively juiced out and feeling like shit about the things i make and my ocs and like. me#like everyone's just been secretly tolerating me all this time and if i disappear no one's going to notice#i feel like nothing i make or am doing is worthwhile and im just GROSS and ANGRY and ANNOYING#and even complaining in tags on a post makes me feel like a whiny baby like. there are wars etc why am i complaining boo hoo#so i cant even talk to people about how i feel bc it makes me so ashamed that im feeling this way to begin with#ive been resisting the urge to just delete everything at this point bc then at least i wont have the urge to check everything and feel wors#why does awful shit always happen right around my birthday. why am i cursed like this

WEC, I will be there
period wasnt verstappen.com aiming to have 2 cars running in gt3 by 2025 how much u wanna bet that as we speak bro is thinking about saying fuck it and being inside 1 of them
#ask#no by all means keep playing#whtvr happened in rbr has effectively created 2 camps#and im not sure if max and horner in the same one#if adrian does leave its not due to some woke moral opposition to horners alleged behavior#I truly wish it was but Im far too cynical and Ive read grandpas book too like hes at least a lil racist#now the pride thing comes across much more credible#truth is they been hyping up waché for a while even for most of 2023#u kinda started to get the sense rb19 and rb20 were very much adrians groundforce babies but communally raised and fed#operationally speaking. rbr does show a type of superiority over its peers that cant be explained by a single bald head#plus. theres verstappens heavy ass thumb on the scale#other side of the garage got beaten by norris in a mclaren he seemed to have ZERO understanding of lmfao#adrian obvi one of motorsports most valuable assets and if rbr has decided he isnt hes within his rights to fuck off#hes a contractor too so gardening leave is alot shorter in theory he cud just buy it (?)#my gut is telling me AM wid honda and nando#but vasseur been on a roll lately assembling the avengers to take on verstappen so who knows#bro whtvr happens max will be thoroughly unimpressed and prolly equal parts annoyed and bored#idk if adrians part of his circle#they never seemed that tight to me#but if he walks helmut walks for sure and if helmut walks#honey .. either brackley about to become the most evil place in the world. which ok my bitch narrative hubris nasty#or WEC we WILL be there#much to think about

Crafting update: all the fabric is cut to size and ready to sew for my next baby quilt! I'm actually following a pattern for once! Well. Mostly. The pattern calls for 28 jelly roll strips and I have 24 so I'm adapting, but I am mostly following a pattern lol
#the person behind the yarn#crafting update#normally I can sew on my breaks at work#but one of the other [my job title]s is on vacation this week so I'm dealing with his contractors#and without specifying the industry I work in there's uh...not a lot of women in this industry#and some of the contractors. uh. don't handle working with women...well#nothing I can't handle but frustrating enough that instead of sewing I spend my breaks#by getting up and walking out of the room and doing like anything not work related for a few minutes#I know sewing is not work related but my sewing machine table is set up right next to my work from home desk#so I leave the room entirely for a few minutes. one day left until this coworker gets back!#then I'm covering for another coworker but like. that one is way easier to cover for. hopefully.

Got fired today. Oh I'm sorry, I'm an "independent contractor" and they just "didn't NEED my services" despite the fact that I got terminated for not immediately checking in with a supervisor about what time I left the work site and they didn't replace me during their rush days. It's totally not a punishment for not kissing my Not-Manager's ass that i lost out on two 13 hour shifts that were gonna pay my rent. It's just because they didn't """"need"""" me, and when I complained that this was employer behaviour (and sounded a whole lot like retaliation) and not contractor, I was sent the COMPANY OWNERS PHONE NUMBER which isnt suspicious at all.
Anyone know what I can do about this on the workers rights website besides just file a complaint with the IRS about the company? Because this really screwed me.
