I got laid off almost 2 years ago. I now work for the same company again working fewer hours at much higher pay. Layoffs aren't necessarily the end, and they can very much be the start of renegotiating your position

This guy will never be pro union.

Posting pragmatic advice of "don't burn bridges" on a post advocating for committing career-ending crimes against your former employer is somehow anti-union? Da fuq?

Sorry man, this isn't burning Bridges to the guy is talking about, this is ending up in jail. If you want to burn Bridges, yell and scream on your way out the door and say "fuck you everyone!". What this guy is fantasizing about doing is 10+ years in prison and both state and federal felony charges. "Burning bridges" would not really be his primary concern.

People in my country in my job type tried to make an union, but other unions complained that we have too good to be allowed a union and initial members quickly dwindled.

Yea, this is the reason I held my tongue when the company CEO who laid me off last year (Who I worked directly under) posted something about investing in the people who further their goals. Because I had a bunch of very snarky I could have clapped back with, but I decided to not burn the bridge

I know entire departments that share the same story.

I'd pretend to read it for sure

I'm already pretending to read their work. But for now it's just comments...

I'm pretending to read pretend comments about a pretend book about a pretend situation!
