Negativity
Feels like the only reason I'm not in the streets today is because I'm selfish and not actually willing to bear costs in the name of change :/
Negativity, marxism, work
I can probably ask for a lot more time off than I am tbh but my boss embodies the management "strategy" of being intimidating (to me at least; gender and culture are things here), capricious, and not clearly delineating how much is actually allowed.

the most courage I've shown was when I said I'd walk rather than work the amount of overtime he wanted. So now I'm "only" doing 9h every day, as compromise. Whenever I talk politically about the eight hour work day I feel hypocritical and craven.

@starkatt Sympathies. The only reason I'm not out is that I made a conscious decision to prioritize "saving vacation days to prepare for community support" over "spending vacation days on national consciousness-raising." I hope that was the right decision.

I'm put on a red bandana today in what was meant to be at least a tiny gesture of solidarity but I don't think anyone here even recognizes it.
People around me get to say "hey I'm taking Monday off" and it's not even a thing but for me it feels like it costs worplace capital that I have to guard jealously.
