The H8ers Club

Today was it. I have had it with the dead end job I was at, So I put my tools away punched out and left. Now I will be broke for a little while. This sucks. But I did it to myself. All these employers out their are capitalizing on your hard work. You work and work and work. For what just to keep a roof over your head and food in your belly and that’s it. Nevermind paying bills to keep things running. By the time you get done there is a shiny nickle in your pocket, while your boss has hundreds.

I would rather be homeless and happy than busting my hump to keep someone else in a Lexus.

The problem was I would take the bus at 7 in the morning to get to work, I would always be the first one their, well besides the janitor. The guy I worked with  decided to let me know how much money he made an hour, which was about 25% more an hour. Everytime I looked at my co-worker I would see a person talking about something or watching me work, except when the owner was around then you would see a very lacadasical worker, but always looked busy. I cannot work and see people doing nothing, that drives me crazy. WTF.

Is this modern slavery? I would rather be a slave that has a little shack and a vegetable garden than be a modern slave. Lets run a comparison.

Slavery 1. Slaves where beat and whipped when they did something wrong.

Modern Slavery 1. Psychologically manipulated into believing that they have no worth or that running their own business is way to difficult for them.

Slavery 2. You where healed by family members and voodoo.

Modern Slavery 2. No free health coverage. No money your dead.

Slavery 3. The master owned your freedom.

Modern Slavery 3. Your credit score owns your freedom and affects everything (i.e. auto insurance, interest rates on credit cards, etc.).

Slavery 4. They would change your name.

Modern Slavery 4. Your name means nothing, only in the news, you are tracked by a number. 

Slavery 5. You would work from sunrise to sunset.

Modern Slavery 5. you have to work from sunrise to sunset.

Slavery 6. You had sleeping quarters.

Modern Slavery 6. Sleeping quarters? that’s why you work your first shift job. Second shift is for bills and food.

The same thing between the two. The man always wins.
