    1. Clarify the app is required by the company (hr) for your job duties as mentioned when it was stated every employee’s responsibility to ensure the work site is open via a phone app. They’ll be happy to confirm that.

    2. Go see your master agreement about tools supplied by company. That will be in even passable contracts because it’s usually an audit issue.

    3. Ask company for tool as per contract. “This device here is not a work device and is neither secured nor managed by I.T.” was what we said.

    4. Ask your shop steward to ask the union to explain to the company that their HR is demanding the use of tools the company will not then provide, which is a concern under section 17p5b.1 “proper tools and training as provided during workday for onsite work required by employees”

    If they’re dicks you can try to hit them up for training on how to use the phone.

    Teams is why we all have fancy pixel7 company-issued phones. TEAMS. And, since only one guy is on standby after-hours, the rest of them are shut off at 4:49 pm. So lame.




  • It’s not the healthcare that bothered me most, although it did.

    It’s the cognitive dissonance around the unavailability of healthcare in order to avoid anxiety over the fact that a traffic accident can bankrupt you with no relief. Ignoring the risk takes some serious mental gymnastics and basic math failure to get there, but when brought up in this environment - where a TV show about a teacher who has to cook and sell meth to get hospital money is actually a plausible plot where no one actually examines the mercenary care at all and the main character just pays it - it’s just a part of their existence.

    Not understanding that few other people live like this - cubans don’t live like this - is absurd.
