But if we got rid of the boss and ran our shops through workers’ assemblies, then who would be there to….uh… [checks notes] …stand around lookin at shit?
How’s this sound: everyone gets one workday a month where they don’t have to accomplish jack shit. This is on top of all other days off. One day where you clock in, do nothing of worth, clock out, and then go home
Idea: Whoever is today’s boss-for-a-day will be the target of the workers’ (good-natured, play-acted) ire and bitterness for that day, like a demon in a Medieval morality play. In the kayfabe of workers’ democracy, the people’s commissar is the face and the people’s boss is the heel.
I like this idea! If you are The Boss, your coworkers get to mock you gently through the day, and you become The Blamed for any (small) problems that crop up during the day. Like, if someone stubbs their toe, or whangs their elbow on someone, it’s automatically The Boss’ Fault
Oh, I dig this
It’s like the whole “Thanks, Obama” thing which is one of my all time fave internet jokes
there’s this church sign i pass every day that says “hurt people hurt people” and i know it’s supposed to mean like “people who are hurt, hurt people” but it sounds like a command
my favourite thing about people is that we all seem to pick a specific colour of heart emoji and decide that is OUR trademark heart emoji. its deeply endearing
