POLITICS & DONALD Annoying Orange MEGATHREAD

Yes but the employer-employee relationship is entirely consensual and in most situations non-binding.

If you don't like your wage, you don't have to work that job, nothing is forcing you other than need for money.

For certain trades, paid apprenticeships exist where you can expand your skillset while also being paid, at no additional cost to you.

Labor in capitalism isn't slavery. It isn't compelled by force. Nobody is holding a gun to your head telling you that you HAVE to work a particular job. Ironically, this is commonplace in communism.

yeah, but it helps explain the phenomenon of labor prices being 'sticky,' which ultimately hurts laborers and economic recovery. still, since you have to work to survive, oftentimes you may not have an opportunity to reject a job offer in hopes of finding a better one. i suppose there's nothing stopping you from continuing to search while working that job, though i feel like a lot of employers would frown upon that

they don't have to know and they can eat a richard if they don't like it. It isn't illegal. Just don't tell them until you hand in your resignation to pursue the other opportunity.

Dude literally everyone who works does this if they don't like their current job. Thats why employers ask when you will be available to work.

generally its polite to put 2 weeks notice, to give them time to start looking for a replacement and/or redistributing responsibilities off of you onto your fellow employees

yeah i wasn't meaning to word that as a contention, it was just a random thought since it's relevant to the topic of employer-employee relationship

Like the manager-worker relationship is always that mutual

[Deus Ex]

I imagine it is always that mutual, by the very nature of the relationship

Then why do workers strike

He did not mean "always". Workers strike for reasons like underpayment and long hours.

Numerous reasons

The exchange put forth in the meme is simple: I pay you to work and reap the rewards of your productive output. In that sense it is always mutual.

And the socialist's view is that exchange is more often than not unfair for the worker, and the rewards are paltry compared to the amount of work being done. Especially nowadays when you have people working longer hours without their wages getting any better.
