squid_slime@lemm.eeOPMto UK leftists@feddit.uk•Concern over 'hidden right-wing agenda' of 'Great British National Strike' Scottish meeting2·9 days agoI can appreciate that, we do need to pick our fights as the right tend to pick demos out of a hat and sometimes no one turns up other times, everyone turns up.
We are at the start of the summer, we had a very successful farmers demo backed by the right (anti Immigration, anti marxist, jewish conspiracy types, I spoke with them) in Exeter last month, I can see this being successful if not more so as their social media suggests, the farmers also organised a zoom call yesterday evening.
So I feel confident that this will be a worth while endeavour.
And again, we need to politicise the trade unions and the workers, after 14 years of Torry rule, the working class have faced devastation which has effected the capability of the union movements but we are now seeing a slow growth and we need to keep socialist ideas front and centre, counter demos are a great way to do that, we can win people over, we can recruit to our party’s, and trade unions can show their purpose making union tangible.
squid_slime@lemm.eeOPMto UK leftists@feddit.uk•Concern over 'hidden right-wing agenda' of 'Great British National Strike' Scottish meeting4·9 days agoSo do nothing? This ‘great British strike’ is happening across the country. Unions and organised workers must intervene and if it turns out to be a false flag then at least the experience will act to further politicize workers in collective struggle. But if it isn’t a false flag, we will be thereto counter it.

I will still have to pay my landlord through the nose. water company’s will continue pumping sewage. local services will continue on a downward trend all while my council tax increases.
squid_slime@lemm.eeMto UK leftists@feddit.uk•Labour turns to the right as Reform UK wins big in elections2·10 days agoThe manager of capitalism, labour haven’t been left since the 1980s and the deconstruction of Militant.
Update: I had asked HR if I would be working the 8 hours and said I was not used to this length of trial shift. Hr replied in loose language with what I would be doing, which further lead to me believing that I would be working anywhere between 2 to 4 hours.
I brought this up onsite to management nearing the 4 hour mark, showed him the email and he called HR to then confirm verbally that I would need to work the full 8 hours unpaid to get the job.
I pointed out how this was legally grey and left.
Other bits I did not like were: through the online training session I did on their computer. Forced me to agree to fingerprint scanning which luckily I only sign an agreement and never actually had to scan my prints.
Also on the online training, they stipulate that any sign in issues would encure fees to the employee due to admin work, these fees would equate to an hours pay.
HR lead bor the same last name as the company.
The onsite manager made anti communist remarks. Also when I said “nice to meet you John” his reply, "you won’t be saying that later.

Practice introspection and empathy. Personally I have gone from feeling like a victim with a
bitch<(old me) ex to an emotionally intelligent person with a deeply flawed ex, and I am/was deeply flawed too.Therapy helps a lot.
Activism(´・ω・`)
It would be good to be back in work asap, having a gap in employment been very detrimental for my employability. Getting far few interviews than before for lower level jobs.
So I need a gap filler. I have sent an email back to Hr asking for confirmation, my hope is that they are reasonable and legally savvy enough to give me an actual trail. I am however worried that with that confrontation they may choice to drop the offer.
But beyond that, their pension scheme, clocking in and even promotions (pay increases) seem to sign that they are a company that want to pay as little as possible.
I did a trial at my last job, took an hour where they had me soldering an old busted PCB and filling paperwork for employment, proof of address, banking details etc etc, which I was happy to do. And this current place that demands physical labour for the role, I’m slim built and assumed they’d see if I could lift and move stock, or use a till, communicate with customers, all this can be condensed down to an hour really and I would happily do that. Free labour though, the company smells rotten.
My mistake, trial shift.

squid_slime@lemm.eeto Uplifting News•Elon Sounds Extremely Depressed After Tesla Profits Plunge 71%English1·24 days agoA lot of therapy is about acceptance, which our current society makes a boggy man from mental illness especially NPD and BPD which doesn’t help the matter so in essence most therapy is self correcting with guidance.
But how ever we will frame it, in a classless society people with NPD, or a general lack of empathy will get the help they need.
