It's wild what is clearly employees understanding their value, learning to negotiate their conditions, & gaining leverage to securely do so in order to self actualize in their labor (as much as one can under Capitalism) is called "the great resignation" nytimes.com/2022/08/15/style/quitting-work-life-balance-career.html?smtyp=cur&smid=tw-nytimesPermalink On twitter.com

I always find the claim that media companies try and make around being "non-biased" hilarious. A non-biased title might be something like "the great renegotiation" and that would def be more accurate, but the bias shines through in this type of coverage: a pro-capitalism bias...Permalink On twitter.com

This is a "great resignation" article where every subject is transitioning to another job. You can see how that's confusing. Like most, these people didn't quit. They just took a vacation that would normally not be allowed under the awful labor conditions they normally work.Permalink On twitter.com

There are 5 examples in this article and arguably 3 of them are really mental health problems stemming from bad labor conditions and overwork. This isn't really a resignation, it's a mental health crisis.On twitter.com

It's not a great resignation, it's a great realization that your working conditions should not put you into constant anxiety conditions.Permalink On twitter.com
