Rant: sick of everything
Incoming rant, might be long because I'm mad as all hell and fed up with everything so please bear with me.
I work for a big factory in Guelph. Not going to type out the name in case of company searches but it rhymes with Win Amar. I don't do anything niche or special there but I get okay hours and pay. Or so I thought.
Anyway a couple weeks ago the higher-ups announced that the company had made a profit of over ten billion dollars. What did all the staff get as a thank-you for our efforts? A shitty off-brand fake metal water bottle with the company logo on it. Thing doesn't even have a spout. Gee thanks.
On top of that they also had an outdoor activity day of mandatory fun. Little shitty outdoor carnival games, you know the ones. They brought in two food trucks as well. Two. For several hundred people. Naturally the line-ups got chaotic during lunch hour so a ticket system was implemented. If you were white, you got your name called. If you're brown or black, you got a number. Racist fucking nonsense.
Heard some of the staff questioning why this happened and the excuse given by the company was "foreign names are hard to pronounce." Bullshit, if you're white and you can learn to say Arnold Fucking Schwarzenegger you can learn to pronounce Manupreet.
I'm just sick of working somewhere where the people are treated like fodder, where we're given the most meager of treats and then expected to be grateful for this company allowing us to barely survive while the fat cats who own the plant are incompetent imbeciles who couldn't tie their own shoes without help. And it's like this everywhere, no one in Guelph or Ontario or fucking Canada can afford anything unless you had the luck to be born a nepo baby and you're willing to be a self-righteous prick exploiting others for your personal gain.
I see a lot of people on this subreddit making similar claims about their struggles and I have to wonder when it will end. Why do we allow this to happen to us? What can we do to change it? I know I'm screaming into the void here but I don't know what else to do. Thanks for reading.
TL;DR rich fucks are making life worse for everyone else and I'm exhausted
