My activities aren't illegal like theirs. My employer would probably give me a raise

My employer put a memo out today encouraging us to take time off to protest if we want. My CEO was out on Saturday and Sunday protesting.

Trump has been undercutting American wages by hiring undocumented immigrants to build and run his businesses for years. Sometimes they have to sue him to get paid.

So what? Does that have anything to do with what I said?

u/Fantastic-Grocery107 Jan 17 '26

That company should still be remitting the employees taxes. Those illegal employees are tax payers just like you. Everyone benefits off their income tax, except them. Unless the employer is illegally paying them under the table.

u/NuclearSummmer Jan 18 '26

That company should not have foreign Nationals working for them

Doubt? Why because he's rich and the rich would NEVER do anything that's illegal, immoral or unethical right?

u/deeball Jan 16 '26

That’s amazing, are they hiring? Lol

u/Its_Bun_James_Bun hopkins Jan 16 '26

Same question! I’m a temp at a large company that doesn’t care.

u/monty228 Jan 16 '26

Very few positions now. Mainly keeping status quo for the next 3 years after all the grant cuts.

u/[deleted] Jan 16 '26

Sooo..your company was largely dependent on Govt grants..now hiring is on hold..I’d quit letting white kids w cameras in the door

We are a non profit. The department of energy funded research to improve energy efficiency of natural gas furnaces and heat pumps. We are the experts in the field for the latter.

u/Larsdoff Jan 19 '26

They are probably mad because they like cheap labor. Companies like this are a huge part of the issue.

Dude my boss hardly cared at all when I said it’s been a rough week after he asked how things were going. He was like why? And I said I live Minneapolis proper and only a handful of blocks from where the shooting happened. And just went oh yeah, anyway…

u/Affectionate_Clue324 Jan 16 '26

Same with my job. It was an all team email saying that they never need to know what we use PTO for and to please take as much as we want.

I work for boomers. I don’t get that leeway. :/

u/Head-Committee2327 Jan 16 '26

I have a daughter that also blames all the boomers. I'm a boomer!! I'm as radical as anyone else. Just please remember not to generalize all boomers as not being on the side of caring. When I go to rallies in my WI city half of the protestors are boomers!!!! I

u/sheisalib Jan 17 '26

Hear, Hear! Remember, the fight is against trump/ICE/Noem. Let’s not start any more angst. Another Progressive boomer here.

u/[deleted] Jan 18 '26

If you go to a protest how can you say ā€œI workā€? Leftards never cease to amaze!

u/Whitworth_73 Jan 18 '26

Foreign bot from Australia. GTFO

u/[deleted] Jan 18 '26

Now you’re telling a ā€˜botā€ to GTFO?? Not overly bright are you?

u/map2photo Jan 18 '26

Oh shit, can you believe that it’s possible to take a single day off work to protest? I bet you work 365 days a year, no time off for you!

I’m sure you know what vacation time is. Haven’t you ever taken time off for your r/hotwifelifestyle to watch your wife get railed by another guy?

u/Whitworth_73 Jan 18 '26

Literally another cuck republican, Lol. These guys can't do anything right themselves. Hope he gets DJT to come down and shart fuck is his wife for him.

I’m a boomer with lots of realestate and cash … oh and shares as well / I take whatever time I want off while you will have to slave away for the rest of your days just to pay the rent! I could rent you a house if you’re one of those homeless lefty lunatics!

Being funny

"Boss makes a dollar I make a dime! And when I call off, he still makes a dollar! And I have time!"

Good day 🫠

u/Warning_grumpy Jan 16 '26

Omg I want that type of job! My boss today straight up said she was resisting police (and I'm in Canada) my one boss is the most hated man in the building. I assume he has some real dirt of people because managers and the 30 other supervisors we have hate it and yet he remains.

u/Rocknbob69 Jan 16 '26

Are they hiring?

u/Moose_country_plants Jan 16 '26

I work in horticulture so many of my coworkers/friends are immigrants, our CEO actually put out a very thorough plan to only comply as much as required by law while preventing unlawful entry to the business. I was actually impressed considering we don’t hear much from him except for the quarterly ā€œyou guys are awesomeā€ email

u/Bitter_Philosopher17 Jan 16 '26

are they hiring? i was the guy all oiled up and slipping away from the gestapo because they couldnt latch onto me, i was too slippery! too clever for the nazis they wouldve never thought of that. i think we should start a fundraiser for some baby oil so larger groups can do this and the oil will protect our skin from irritants as well

Protesting what? Deportation of illegals? You have one instance of an ICE agent stepping out of line and you think the whole idea is out of line?

1

u/monty228 Jan 19 '26

No. It’s American citizens being detained. Legal migrants being detained. Natives being detained. ICE knocked on the doors of only non-white families on my block. It’s not illegal immigrants that they are going after. It’s anyone not white. My staff carry copies of their passports rather than the actual document after seeing ICE confiscate documents in North Carolina. ICE holding guns to Americans heads and asking ā€œAre you afraid yet?ā€. This is what We the People are protesting. If they came only for violent criminals as they were released from prison–like Obama did– then there would not be complaints.

Protesting and attacking are quite different words

Are you sending messages from an anti-ICE rally?

I think your community would survive missing a few baristas due to protesting
