12. Ah, ALLOW ME TO RETORT!!!!

My daughter, and employee of a major national bank, is now REQUIRED to drive to and from the office three out of five days in a work week.

This after PROVING she could successfully work from home and be a high performer for FOUR YEARS.

But nope, some Wall Street greed lizards, and the bank's shareholder primacy CEO, have decreed that they don't want no happy employees who feel empowered. They would much rather have fearful employees who are cowed by management because it makes the morale of the billionaires and Wall Street financiers MUCH better, dontcha know!

So on the one hand we have this particular sociopathic greed head telling us to suck it up and drive less, while at the same time we have other sociopathic greed heads telling us they require 24 of 40 hours be butt time units in an office chair.

Silly workers!

Reminder: GENERAL STRIKE MAY 1. No buying, work or school.
