Kind of surprising how no disgruntled worker ever takes their revenge (hexbear.net)

It seems people will do absolutely anything except take their anger out on people who might deserve it.

Beat your wife and kids? OK

Run over brown people with your truck? Terrific idea

Shoot your boss? What, never

Well, I know why, it's because the media rallies themselves to get you all riled up about the gays and the browns, so your rage won't have any consequence

They do the same with Islamic extremists in eg Pakistan, funnel people into stupid fundamentalist orgs so they won't look into Marxism, and bonus points, the extremist orgs you're propping up will even hunt communists themselves, the same way conservatives in the US despise anything socialist (in the UK we don't know what communists are, we just hate scroungers, trans and immigrints 😡)

Kind of following up from my post the other day about CEO salaries, still thinking about it, I honestly don't get how senior management are able to kid themselves when they only earn £200k themselves, real serf behaviour

'Going postal' was coined based on people shooting up their places of work back in the 90s, and the trend still continues. They don't tend to target people farther up the chain because the anger tends to be personal against the people they interacted with and high level positions don't tend to interact with the lower level staff that use violence to retaliate.

Plus, higher ups aren’t usually at ground branches. They’re usually in a regional office or at the headquarters.

Or golfing

Or on vacation

You mean, “working on a business deal”

Or, “recharging”?

Lol this actually triggers me the fact that we let these people exist breaks my brain

The last boss I had like this it actually turned out to be “fucking the accounts manager”.

I was gone when it came out, but the company was husband and wife owned, so you can imagine how that went.
