      This is exactly why I’m so goddamn happy I’m in a union, we fought off the fucking cunts and won. Secured significantly better conditions and guaranteed raises for several thousand people all in one go. It was a pretty narrow vote though, they literally hired a guy to generate internal propaganda about how good getting a pay cut was going to be…

          No nothing like that, they just offered the teeny tiniest little raises when we’d had 7+% inflation so our wages were effectively set back 2-3 years.

          The ceo gave himself a $2 million bonus or something insane.

          In my country in the EU we don’t use brackets anymore. It’s just linear. In the current age of computers and magic it can be calculated with a simple press of a button.
