QuoteI punched my boss in the face. He told me he was going to lower my pay. I invited him to suck my dick and walked out. He followed me into the street and got in my face demanding to know why I was leaving. I told him that he was far too much of an asshole to be tolerated for any less than I was already being paid. Short of anything else to say, he offered to fight me. So, to quote Muhammed Ali, "We got it on, because we did not get along."

That's brilliant. I love that guy on so many levels.
it made me smile, and then he turned it into a serious point. :)
That was the best part.
THEBEST!
That was pretty awesome.
Yeah, that resonates. A lot of the time it feels like there's nothing you can do. My previous employers stressed over and over that their company was an 'at will' workplace. You chose every day to come in and work. You made that choice. So you better come with a smile and prepared to go above and beyond. Because there's always someone else willing to come in and take your place if you decide you don't want it.
Very motivational, they were.
And that's where we are. People who work those sort of jobs are disposable and interchangeable, like plastic cups and paper towels. Like what you were saying about the Stick, Roger. They get you where you've got just enough dangling on the hook that you don't want to let go, and then they beat you like a fucking pinata.
I was thinking there was a 90% chance this was bullshit, but then I saw it was originally published by Vice and I raised that estimate to 98%. It's just backbone porn for ineffectual millennial twats.

Got to say, I reckon this is on the money. Especially as Vice's output has gotten noticeably sketchier over the past few months. Wouldn't shock me if this was an ex-murdoch hack under a pen name with a new agenda.
