I don’t get your downvotes…if you know something is bad and you participate in it, you’re part of the problem

The answer is to simply not work for them. The problem is that there is always someone willing to put up with poor working conditions and poor pay. Don’t be that someone.

It’s because it brain dead “free market” cargo-cultism.
Merely not participating isn’t good enough. There are way too many shortsighted people in the world, making that sort of strategy a perpetual loser. This sort of shit can only be stopped by government regulation.

Gov regulations? You mean the gov (whichever country) that works for the capital and not the worker-ants? You mean this one? While you’re not technically wrong, the shortsightedness is also on your side my friend.
So, in the meantime, it’s up to everyone. Working there and waiting for the gov to same me…not happening.

They like working for shit companies and will make any excuse not to leave. Money comes first, long live capitalism!

Not everyone has the luxury to be choosy about their employer. Did you forget we are living in late stage capitalism with an ever growing impoverishment rate?

The company doesn’t pull you off the street and enslave you. You chose them. You fill out the application, you take the interview, you accept the offer. You’re not stuck, you can do it again. I’ve done it several times. I recognize it’s not easy but it is doable.

But where do you draw the line? If it’s a literal orphan-crushing-company? It’s in your power to not procreate and not to work at evil companies. The consequences are sadly also yours alone, that’s right.

Because most of the time, workers don’t get to choose.
Suggesting that people can quit a job at any time for moral reasons is the same shit capitalists fling around when they say that “nobody is forcing you to work”. Not wanting to go hungry and homeless are powerful motivators.
Dyskolos@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
In what third-world do you reside in that quitting an evil job will get you hungry and homeless? And even if you’d be living like a slave there, there would still be another job that is NOT evil or less.

Spoken like someone who hasn’t struggled a minute of their life. Well done.

There is no peace without consequences. People like him, Elon, Errol, Trump fucking up the world will continue indefinitely unless they are punished harshly for everything they do/suggest that violates basic human rights on a mass scale.

Right, folks, just put on your job hats and go get a job working for a nice company!
Thats not reality. Most americans are already suffering, by design, and finding a job is hard. Your options are limited and even the better employers are shit. There is no good option. I agree that theres a difference between working as like a chief engineer for raytheon vs a stocker at aldis, but just saying “dont work for them” is meaningless and doesnt help. Literally execute them until they stop causing mass harm and THEN work on correcting the mass harm and stoppibg it in the future.

The labor market has many elements of monopsony.
Bubbaonthebeach@lemmy.ca 3 weeks ago
It isn’t enough to not work for them. You must stop buying from them but no one wants the inconvenience of going without and so they keep sending trillions of dollars to the very despots that are ruining their lives.
