I turn my phone off , or at least, don't answer it when I'm getting paid to do something else.

Are 'critics'' in conntucut defrauding their employers, or do they just not have real jobs?

lol this has to be bait. Employee wage theft is highest theft by a long shot.

Not at all. I believe in organised collective bargaining/protest, not random acts of irreverence. Being unprofessional and as lackadaisical the bosses just gives them excuses to sack you.

If you're going to strike, get a fucking picket, and make them bosses know it. Don't just wank around on your phone and prove that you can be replaced by AI, or an empty chair.

Also, I'm quite adequately compensated for my current job, it's more the band 3,or 4's that I'd need to go on strike for. If my union wasn't a useless bunch of cunts.
