Tik Tok staff working from home on their break:
Bunch of assholes. Hope it hits the responsible managers house and the office building.
So this is the easiest opportunity for the most upvoted comment ever, thanks to Mr.As-Long-As-It’s-Not-Illegal-It’s-Fine down there!
I would still like to add my opinion: TikTok is an instrument of non-conventional warfare and espionage, why is it still running like it is
Supposedly it’s shutting down the day before inauguration.
They have WFH and make 6 figures per year. Explain to me why it’s surprising the company converted it to WFH. You take the perks with the disadvantages they entail, unless, we’re supposed to be angry with tiktok and don’t really care for the workers 🤔
If it sounds bad and it’s not illegal, the problem isn’t tik tok!
Who cares about the legality?
If somebody’s house burnt down, you give them whatever they need. Any company not giving somebody in that situation paid time off is a shitty company. I know for sure my boss would give me whatever I needed and asked if he personally could help in any way.
Employees are humans first and foremost and need to be treated with respect and compassion, not slaves to be exploited and punished.
A public company will 99,9% of the time be shit, that’s why you need strong worker protection enshrined in legislation. The fact that all the downvoters didn’t get the subtext is one of the reasons you got to this situation in the first place. The average literacy in the US is godawful and the political process only works in easily digestible soundbites, so complex themes like worker protection get relegated to the back seat in favour of who uses which bathroom.
Holy shit take the L.
No one here disagrees with that, or is unaware of the “sUbTeXt”.
That’s just not how subtext works. You don’t get to say one thing, then claim you meant something entirely different (the reasonable take) and call it subtext.
Ah, mericans…
You’re not doing your home country any favors. Your inability to understand the situation is astounding really. Where are you from that made you so damn smart?
Trollsylvania
Quit this bullshit. A lot of tech workers working remotely are contractors, precarious workers. Content moderators, data labelers, and the likes are not paid 6 figures and they are not privileged. Most of the workforce of these companies are not white, rich dudebros. Stuff like this adds insult to injury.
Is it illegal though? Perhaps start there, with worker protection law. Everyone is happy to help the dudebros exploit the working class as long as line goes up.
Edit: Lol, 1s, immediate downvote. If only you were as assiduously fighting the exploitation…
I’m a union organizer in tech. My downvote was the 8th, not the 1st. I was busy doing a call with striking riders in Greece. Keep up the good work, scab.
I’m genuinely unsure they’re a scab, I think they’re saying that we cannot expect these parasitic companies to have the workers best interests at heart, and as such strong workers rights should be enshrined in law and enforced.
I could be misunderstanding them though of course.
Precisely this.
Pitting different types of workers against each other automatically promotes you to a scab. Purism and sectarianism are much more harmful to labor organizing than union busting.
Good on you, give them hell and good luck with the cheeto in chief. If you need to run, you’ll always have a home this side of the ocean.
Regarding the “different types of workers”, a CEO is still a worker. Smart people know the difference between those that take advantage of legislation vs those who suffer from it. This type of absolute dogmatic purism is what got your laws to be shit in the first place.

Shit like this is why they called you a scab. Ceos aren’t workers, they’re part of the capital class. Thinking of ceos as workers shows me you haven’t thought through your positions past a surface level.
Smart people know the difference between those that take advantage of legislation vs those who suffer from it.
You mean like ceos and the rest of the capital class? And I’m guessing you consider yourself one of the “smart ones” LOL

No, capital owning politicians is what made our laws to be this shit.
CEOs are not workers, they are part-owners in typical compensation schemes. Give me large unearned blocks of stock or a percentage of the net revenue, that would make me not a worker.
“it’s not the CEOs fault they’re fuckin’ ghouls, bruv” - this guy
