It was 121*F in the shop last week. Lunch was not provided. Food was not provided.
We do not have a safe space.
We did dangerous shit on heavy shit and we're all conservative to ultra conservative Christians.

I hear ya, man. It boggles my mind to see how soft, entitled, oblivious, and lacking of gratitude some sectors of society are. Just reading the pampered arrogance of people on Linkedin posting pithy gifs about "leadership" and "synergy" and "teamwork" is more than I can take at times. Contrast that with someone that works in a shop or a mine for a 12 hour shift MINIMUM, grinding it out - granted, for good pay and benefits befitting their skill set - without the near constant ego massage and obeisance to toddler-like sensitivities. As a species, we're inclined to be lazy when all our needs are met, but for all the education, certifications, and erudite ways of these self-styled Eloi types, you'd think they'd have
some semblance of introspection and foresight to recognize their own limitations. Yet, they neither possess the grit nor the strength to survive exposure if the lights went out, their cellphone lost signal, and Grubhub didn't deliver their venti iced caramel latte with oatmilk from Starbucks.
