    I wonder if it’s millennials getting educated on their rights and fighting back, too.

    Like, I took a lot of shit back in the day, but I’m old enough to know better now. I’m currently self-employed, but if I ever have to get an actual job, that poor little business tyrant is in for a fun ride!

    Fyi redballoon is an “anti-woke job portal”. Sometimes I browse it because I think it’s funny to look at these chud-ass stupid businesses. I cannot imagine a worse, less professional way to present yourself than on redballoon. This guy is bitching because his website openly tells business that they will find obedient little serfs.

      Lmao what the fuck is this

      From the home page:

      It’s time to grow up and get back to work.

      All over the country, a new kind of workplace is emerging. Employees are rediscovering the joy of work. Employers are pioneering new businesses that prioritize freedom.

      And in their “Employee Bill of Rights”:

      Employee Right 4: You have the right to form employee groups

      As Americans, we love our independence. We tend to forget how much we need each other. In fact, a big reason to speak up for workplace freedom, is to encourage co-workers who may be feeling alone. Two or three employees with similar values, who band together, can accomplish much more than a single voice in the dark.

      The First Amendment to the Constitution protects orderly group activity, as a companion to the freedoms of speech, assembly, and petition. Again, the First Amendment is concerned with interference by the government, not private companies. Yet the ability to associate together, without interference, is a precious right that we should champion wherever possible.

      …

      Unlike purely social clubs, employee groups that seek to improve working conditions are protected by law. Since 1935, the National Labor Relations Act has been used to protect union activity. But you do not have to be part of a union to use it. If your employee group is seeking workplace change, and your employer tries to shut you down, you may have a legal claim. The simplest way to pursue your claim is to file a complaint with the National Labor Relations Board. For more information, see https://www.nlrb.gov/about-nlrb/rights-we-protect/whats-law

      Okay not bad I suppose. But then they explain what they envision you doing with these “Employee Groups”…

      With just one or two other like-minded employees, you can form a group to pursue pro-freedom change in the workplace. Your group can present petitions to management, either in writing or in person. Potential topics include repealing vaccine mandates and other COVID restrictions, where not required by law; allowing employees to opt out of LGBTQ / Pride displays; permitting expression related to Christmas or Christian belief; enhanced maternity / paternity leave (especially if the company pays for abortion travel); and allowing employees to skip training sessions that promote Critical Race Theory. You can even ask for old-fashioned raises while you are at it.

      These “anti-woke”/“patriot” business models will never not be a laughing stock.
