Still have my job with this acquisition but what’s even the point? Everything is just going to be shit from here on out. And we just let it happen?

I hate that we didn’t get ahead of this decades ago. We should have consolidated power back in the 80s/90s. It feels like it’s too late to unionize at this point right?

It absolutely isn’t too late to unionize! We just need to organize. https://substack.com/@omnicomunited?r=1ytyd&utm_medium=ios&utm_source=profile

Capitalize on the moment and fight to unionize. Things are shit so hopefully employees are fed up enough to listen to each other finally.

I got laid off and im not sure whats next but it’s definitely not more of this. Not a great time for a career change but there are definitely things I would rather be doing with my skills and my brain than peddling ai garbage for omnicorp.

bills & food can be paid as long as there’s income. It’s work, it’s not meant to be most fulfilling thing. Omni bought a distressed asset & it will take a long time for things to settle. Meanwhile, having income, reasonable health insurance versus none, PTO of any kind, compared to having to bag groceries or work retail, like so many others are doing, is still kind of great especially in this economic climate.

like

Everything is clicking fine. It’s capitalism, they don’t care, it’s corporate greed, none of this is breaking news, and unless the industry attempts to unionize & who knows how effective that would even be, these companies are free to do what they want as long as it’s within the law, and it is, so they have. It’s possible that many people in this economic climate would be relieved to have income & benefits of any kind.

I’d figure with all this chaos, we as employees could do something to leverage that. What that is, not sure at the moment. Just thinking out loud.
