Introversion

Duh.

Why? To make workers fearful. Fearful people are less likely to protest or unionize.

There’s lots of downtime as well and sometimes my biggest trouble is how not to die of boredom listening to my coworkers’ boring stories because they feel offended if I don’t sit with them.

In the grand scheme of things, that seems pretty minor to me, but then it’s not me asking. 😅

Do you feel like the job is preparing you for a better job? I’d concentrate on that — whatever training, certifcates, etc you can add to your resume — while you look for something that seems better. But I’ll point out that unless you know people at those jobs, whose opinions you trust, there’s really no way to know in advance whether you and future co-workers will be a better fit.

Well, points for being transparent, I guess? 🤷‍♂️

“In high demand”, “pays well”, “is legal”, and “doesn’t require lengthy training and/or edcucation” are usually not a combination that exists.

I’m not suggesting people get complacent. We gotta vote like our democracy depends on preventing another Trump term, because it does.

And gloom & doom about how Trump is polling or Biden is polling, a year in advance of the election, can make people give up and not vote.

Just pointing out that polls aren’t very reliable. “Red Wave 2022” back in 2021, remember?

I doubt it. Polls conducted this early aren’t worth much. People who tend to vote for Democrats may wish for a younger candidate than Biden, but when confronted in the voting booth with a choice of fascism or Biden, most will choose Biden.
