[Field Marshall Bradley]

Black men tend to be the most likely to solider on in most situations like this.

For better or for worse

I'm not sure about GM, I work for Stellantis.

I looked it up…they get a bonus performance percentage. My mom worked for GM in TX and she got anywhere between $8-$11k twice a year.

Then he broke his back for the system.

That's all.

He lived his life according to his own code of ethics whilst provide for family.

Thats all

A Detroit factory worker is retiring, he was never late, nor did he take a sick or vacation day in 29 years. I find it hard to believe that he never got caught in a snow storm, or a traffic jam in all those years. I was late to work last month because someone drove a car into a house. Congratulations to this brother.

What a fukking idiot Idgaf if he’s old and black. nikka got finessed.

Well, he’ll have a nice UAW pension to enjoy

If he truly loved his job, then fair play to him but I can’t help but think of all the missed holidays and time lost that he could have spent with his family. People need to understand that these companies don’t give a fukk about you. When you die on the job, HR sends a templated empathetic email to your colleagues and then they put a job posting up for your role by the next week.

Back in the day, they would have made a statue for those who went above and beyond.

Now he’ll get that templated festive email like you said.

Them shyts that go straight to his coworkers spam folder.

Again, kudos to him for being thorough but this current system

I've talked to the boomers and the work culture was never like this..

It was actually an enjoyable experience and for the most part people got along..

Even when I started, I was at the tailend of an enjoyable environment.

Boomer told me before he retired, the job is changing and that was a little over 15 years ago..

Americans may not be employed in greater shares and their earnings may have risen only modestly, but they are putting in more time at work today than they did in 1980. Most notably, workers are putting in an average of nearly four more weeks of work annually, with the average climbing from 43 weeks in 1980 to 46.8 weeks in 2015 (weeks at work include paid vacation and sick leave). The average length of a typical workweek is also up, increasing to 38.7 hours in 2015 from 38.1 hours in 1980.21 Overall, this adds up to an additional one month’s worth of work.

Another factor contributing to the growing trend is the sharp increase of work hours among workers 65 and older. The average for workers in this age group increased from 29.3 hours per week in 1980 to 33.7 in 2015. Over the same period, workers 65 and older also raised the annual number of weeks worked from 38.3 to 44.6.
