    Uh, seems like an odd reason to quit your job.

    I’d have to quit my job twice a week if I left every time my boss said something dumb.

      Taking away your labor power from chucklefucks who use the sweat of your brow to continue to oppress you is good praxis.

      People talk about boycotting by not buying things from certain companies, but not enough people commit to not giving their labor to those companies in exchange for a paycheck. That’s a boycott, too. When you’re working for them, you’re literally helping them believe the dumbfuck shit they believe, and allowing them to use their financial largess to influence the media to promote their dumbfuck bullshit.

      Standing up for the people who no longer are “economically viable” means something. But go ahead, let your boss say your parents should just die when they’re too damaged to work. Laugh with them about it. Go ahead and be a callous asshole who won’t stand up for someone who can’t stand up for themselves.

      Does it seem odd? Seems more odd to me to normalize a boss telling his employees that their parents deserved poverty

      Plus this sounds like an escalating argument the boss made no effort to de-escalate. If the boss didn’t get fired for it that says everything that needs to be said.
