    I dunno who needs to hear this but, they need us more than we need them.

    They keep trying to flex and act like they’re in charge of everything because they sign the paychecks, the fact of the matter is that the money they give you is a paltry amount compared to what they’re making from your labor. If you don’t do the work, they won’t make any money at all. Sure as shit the business owner isn’t going to step up to do your job.

    They need you. They want to convince you that you need them. They want to take your power away from you.

    Employment is a two-way street. Anyone who will treat you like trash isn’t worthy of your sweat.

      This is true, but you can only grab hold of that power collectively. There is no way to pull on this lever solo.
