Most people aren’t in a union. If you’d like to read about what’s happening, join the subreddit and read up about it.

Proceeds to go to that sub and post insults.

You're literally a bully, lmao. No wonder you don't like it. Absolutely no reason for you to even interact with that sub except that you wanted to bully some people.

you are clearly not as progressive as you think you are lmao. “survival of the fittest”? ever consider that in almost every case of workplace bullying or harassment the employee is shit out of luck as union membership is below 13% in the US?

It ain’t always as simple as just standing up for yourself my guy. It isn’t always survival of the fittest either. I’ve been in a situation as a muscular 6ft tall dude of having an older guy try to push me around. Mainly he acted like a dick because he was intimidated by me and I pushed him and challenged him when he was using faulty engineering logic. I set him straight several times, he didn’t change his behavior. Then I escalated to my boss, he didn’t do shit. After that I successfully ignored him for over a year.

All it took was one incident where I stood up for myself and tried to set him straight for things to escalate. Instead of being reasonable the dude threatened to fight me, a fight which he very clearly would have lost. I backed away from it and reported it. The company’s HR didn’t do anything despite him having a known bad attitude. If management won’t do shit, and a douchbag never thinks their in the wrong, what recourse do you have?

For some bullies the only way to set them straight is to put them in their place, sometimes physically. If The workplace isn’t middle school though and unfortunately it’s not appropriate to teach douchebags a lesson by force. As much as I would have wanted to that, that would have been assault and would have been completely inappropriate.

So kindly go fuck off with your mightier than thou tough guy attitude, it isn’t always that simple. Clearly you haven’t had the mis fortunate of working with a real asshole.
