      If they fire you and then make your coworker work twice as hard for the same pay, then you definitely should.

      If they fire your coworker and make you work twice as hard for the same pay, then you definitely should.

      If they fire both of you, and then give everyone in your town cancer from the toxic water runoff from a massive AI data center they just built, then you definitely should.

        I’m from the UK. They cannot just fire me. They cannot make me work twice as fast. I can only work at the speed I can.

          You underestimate your enemy. That’s the first step in defeat.

          Acting like your shitty government is somehow better or less corrupt than the American government somehow, is the second step

            I’m not. I’m just stating a fact, no employer has made me do someone’s job. There are certain labour protections in place. It’s not great, but it’s far better than the US. “At will” is not a thing that exists here. We have 25+ days holiday + bank holidays. It’s objectively better than the US. Not because of the government, but because of hard earned rights fought for by unions and working people.
