Anti Wage-Slavery Pro-Freedom Quotations Of The Week 1675-1677

Machines will be able to do our work for less, without the need for a lunch break or eight hours of rest. This dilutes company costs, increases profits, and for socially aware enterprises, makes the widespread implementation of UBI much easier to swallow.

Universal Basic Income: The Full Rundown

 It’s fairly common to feel a passing urge to quit your job when you’ve hit a rough patch, says Nancy S. Molitor, a clinical psychologist in Wilmette, Ill., and a public education coordinator for the American Psychological Association. But the idea is surfacing in more employees’ minds these days, she said.

...

Sometimes an employee wants to quit because of an untenable working situation: an overbearing boss, a difficult co-worker, a crushing workload. Often, the reasons for feeling upset and wanting to quit are legitimate, Dr. Molitor said.

...

SUZANNE LUCAS, who writes a blog called the Evil HR Lady, says in a column for CBS News that it’s generally a bad idea and “just darn rude” to quit a job on the spot. But she notes exceptions that would justify a quick departure — for example, if staying in a job would put you in some kind of danger (a violent co-worker, say, or a safety violation), or would make you break the law or violate your ethical or religious standards.

Grand Exits That Never Earn Applause

Work, Sleep, Work, Sleep, Work

Work, sleep, work, sleep,

Work, sleep, work, sleep,

Work, sleep, work, sleep,

Work:

Work, sleep, work, sleep,

Work, sleep, work, sleep,

Work, sleep, work, sleep,

Work.

Oh free me please with gentle ease

From work, sleep, work, sleep, work!

This odium, pounding tedium

Of my work, sleep, work, sleep, work.

Just whisk me off to lands afar

From work, sleep, work, sleep, work -

That grinding train of rhythmic pain

Called ‘Work, sleep, work, sleep, work.’

Poor neural circuits fizzle and pop

In work, sleep, work, sleep, work,

In trying to make some sense of all this

Work, sleep, work, sleep, work.

But Hark! I see a golden gleam -

A saving spirit of hope:

‘You’re fired! ’ He screams. What news to bear,

This wondrous hangman’s rope!

So now I’m free, released from all this

Work, sleep, work, sleep, work -

Eternal peace and rest for me, no

Work, sleep, work, sleep, work.
