Employment Advice

Make them fire you. If you resign under pressure you have basically no legal standing.
Make. Them. Fire. You. If they pressure you to resign, you should write a letter, declining to resign, declining to take any responsibility for your private, off-duty, speech and/or actions. Specifically point out that you are exercising your personal discretion to engage in political and social commentary regarding current events, that you are not willing to be subjected to a hostile work environment for your unorthodox political views, and that you are not willing to explain or defend or justify those personal political views.

Your Say

They'll make your life hell, but if you quit you lose unemployment and have no standing in court if you need like he says. But they'll cut your hours, increase your work load, give you the worst shifts, constantly find fault with your work, call you into work more, change your hours randomly, and basically make your life awful until you quit. Its a battle of wills.

And if you do something so outrageous or offensive the boss has to fire you, you ALSO lose your legal defense.

Why in the world would any sane person go through all of that?

Further, how can anyone waste even one second of the only life they're ever going to own in an environment that isn't custom built by them to their own liking?

If you like what you do now, do it for yourself and stop letting someone else run a major facet of your life.

But only do this if you think you deserve it.

If you don't think you deserve it then grovel like the slave you have chosen to be.

Unemployment? Fuck you.
Legal defense? Up your ass.
Fired? LOL

There are billions of *clients* out there stumbling over each other trying to give you enormous sums of money and you prefer to allow a plantation master jerk your chain.

Pardon me while I take a moment from my wonderful day to chuckle.

If all else fails, grab your jerk boss by the neck, fling him to the ground and punch his face repeatedly. You'll get arrested, probably go to jail and there you will reap all the benefits of unemployment or welfare that others seem to covet.

I am fortunate, I have a trade which can always serve as barter if the economy fails, and I have a brain. Keeping a positive attitude helps. Nobody likes losers.

Conservative values. Class Warfare is for dope-smoking commies. Stand on your own. No leeching. No whining. Fuck the hippies. — Hanify
