my only motivation to be there is to earn money and my 401k. So many of my coworkers and management feel offended by this statement.

I’m union. Union lawyer thinks this is a management strategy to try to manipulate me.

Cue BS answer for any c-suite that tries making me feel insecure over this:

well, I’m a terrible liar, that’s why I’m asking you :D

the unfriendly party might be easy: I’m always friendly and direct because I want to work. maybe that?

      When the butchers at a single Walmart store in Texas formed a union, Walmart retaliated by firing every butcher nationwide and switching to only pre-packed meats for all stores.

      They’ll put themselves through a lot to make sure the peons don’t get too uppity.
