Called out of work due to my daughter
I called out of work a little short of 2 hours due to my daughter she had a complete breakdown/rage and I couldn’t leave her alone with my mother in law she’s 70+yrs old. My boss texts me back saying No you need to come in. ( I didn’t ask for permission I’m telling you ). Boss kept replying saying NO like they were talking to a 5 year old. Told my boss again I’m not coming in & that my daughter takes priority over work. My job offers no benefits-No sick time, holiday pay, PTO absolutely nothing and I only make 14/hr. So if I call out I loose pay who TF thinks a parent is going to put their employment (even if I was making way more per hour) before their kid. Just had to vent.

Moved from Europe with American wife - work culture shock.
I met my American Wife (military) in Germany and recently moved to the US about 2 yrs ago.
TBH it's an absolute work culture shock, coming from a work environment of mandatory PTO of 5 - 6 weeks being the norm. Mandatory sick pay if you work.
35 hour weeks being the norm...to moving to the US and having absolutely none of those "perks" has been mind blowing.
I can't seem to land a Job here that offers any PTO. Even my friends who work for large companies only get 2 weeks if they are lucky.
It just seems unproductive, I see a lot of burn out in people's eyes.
My question is to my fellow workers of America, Why do you think this is so?
If it's truly about profits for shareholders and its been proven that rested and contented workers are more productive, then why don't American CEOS adopt the European paid time off model?
My only thoughts are if they know it's unproductive and do it anyway, it must be out of malice.
Apologies for my English writing. Not my 1st language!

It's petty theft, and I'm fine with it.
I had to go to the DG today.
When I got in line, I had two arms full of stuff (I'm notorious for not grabbing a basket).
The lady behind me didn't look like she had anything.
I asked her if she wanted to go in front of me.
She said, "No, I'm just asking them if I can borrow this charger. (It was cupped in her hand) I can't afford it, but my phone is dead."
I normally have a charger in my car, and I would've gladly given her that one.
I asked her to give me the charger. I would pay for it. She resisted at first, but let me pay for it.
The cashier, having watched and listened to this whole exchange, proceeded to "pretend" to scan the charger. She handed it to me. I handed it to the lady. The cashier winked, and said, "Get your phone charged, Hon! Have a great day!"
The lady thanked me and she left.
I thanked the cashier, but told her what she did unnecessary. (I could afford it)
"I spend 60 hours a week in this store," she said. "I almost never see that level of kindness."
I paid for my other items. I thanked her again. As I was leaving, it occurred to me that i was happy to be an accessory to petty theft under these circumstances.

from promotions, high-paying roles, and critical business opportunities.
* Expect to be subtly side-lined in the workplace.
* Expect to see entire industries quietly become dominated by upper-caste Hindu networks while everyone gaslights you into thinking it’s a "coincidence".
The irony is these same upper-caste Hindus who lecture Westerners about "white privilege" are the biggest hypocrites on the planet. They’ll cry about racism when it benefits them, but back home, they’ve upheld *the most brutal and systemic form of discrimination for over two millennia.*
And know this....
# YOUR POLITICIANS ARE SELLING YOU OUT!
An anti-caste discrimination law that was about to be passed by the state of California with bipartisan support was vetoed by Gov. Newsom at the very last moment calling it “*unnecessary*”.
For Newsom, the first American politician to issue same-sex marriage licenses as San Francisco mayor in 2004, this should have been easy to pass.
But guess what, the person who lobbied behind vetoing it was none other than a Rich UC Hindu named Ramesh Kapur, who has ties with the current radical Hindutva government in India.
Kapur had commented that “***Caste-based discrimination simply did not exist in the West***”.
Newsom even sent him a personal email, that he was about to veto it as per his instructions.
Link: [https://imgur.com/kJ1lMje](https://imgur.com/kJ1lMje)
Now the UC Hindus who landed in America first are attacking bills that ban caste discrimination claiming that as an attack on "the Indian minorities" themselves.
They want to preserve this cushy special sanctuary of discriminatory privileges by playing the minority card in America and shut the gate behind them for everyone who doesn't belong to their caste.
They are now proclaiming “that Hinduism is about compassion and equanimity — principles directly opposed to a discriminatory caste system”
Link: [https://imgur.com/AhR8cQb](https://imgur.com/AhR8cQb)
(Which I think this is frankly hilarious. Last time I checked, as per the Hindu manuscripts I was not allowed to touch their water or be an accountant for centuries.
The Indian Upper castes are betting that white people are dumb at this point and guilt-shaming them into obedience using their Indian minority card.)
\--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
America—this is your wake-up call.
**Don’t fall for this and let it slide**.
Caste is here.
And it’s creeping into your corporations, your schools, your communities, and your economy.
And the worst part?
Most of you won’t even realize that it’s happening.
Some companies are acting in the right direction...
Link: [https://imgur.com/Z88wTEi](https://imgur.com/Z88wTEi)
But there's still a lot of work to be done...
If you don’t wake up to this injustice now, this country will eventually lose the very **core values that made this nation great.**
**The fight for ending caste discrimination has been going on since the last century.**
**Now it's upon you that you don’t let this archaic form of evil thrive in this great country.**
\------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
**Suggested Further Reading:**
1. Castes In India: Unveiling the Mechanisms of Hindu Social Stratification
2. Annihilation Of Caste: Challenging Religious Orthodoxy and Advocating for Social Equality
P.S. In case any of you need a pdf copy of the 2^(nd) book, Dm me.

This AI Applies To Jobs For You
I saw this on r/ChatGPT this week, and it’s pretty insane. Basically an AI agent that automatically does to the job sites and fills in the forms with your details. By the end of the year maybe we all don’t have to do work and it will just be AI agents doing everything.

Respectfully told an employer to fuck off today
Had an interview for a position that looked cool on paper. Met with the interviewer, answered their questions. Everything was smooth sailing.
Until I asked about work-life balance. It was clear the person was not valued by their bosses and the benefits were probably not worth it. The position itself was severely under compensated compared to my local market too, which yikes…
Oh, and the expectation was to drop everything to help with “emergencies” at the exec level. Please lmfaooo.
Lucky to be in a position to decline a garbage job. Not that I expect anything will come out of it but I was professional about my thoughts.
Fuck these companies man. So hard to find a decent working environment these days…

You Guys have no idea what’s coming: A Crash Course on How Indian Caste Discrimination Works
Every once in a while I see a post about Indian managers kicking out perfectly qualified Non-Indians for jobs only to hire barely qualified (or sometimes even downright incompetent) Indians from their own Caste.
And there’s at least 1 comment on such posts asking
“Why are Indian Managers like this?" Or
"What’s the deal about Indian Mangers and Caste?”
Well as a minority and someone who has experienced this in India literally in every walk of Life, I think I’m in a perfect position to answer this question for the average Westerner.
Some people may argue that this does not apply to “ALL” Upper caste indians, but based on my personal experience and all the data that I've presented, I can say with reasonable certainty that this holds true for a VAST MAJORITY of Upper Caste Indians (especially in the US).
So, having said all that...
Here goes.
"If Hindus migrate to other regions on earth, Indian caste would become a world problem."
\- Dr. B.R. Ambedkar (Father of the Indian Constitution)
# What is caste: A brief history
In purely layman terms Caste is a religio-ideological construct that finds its beginnings in Hindu Religious Texts and associated social practises that led to its reinforcement and survival for over 2000 years now.
The key tenet about many of these Hindu religious texts (for eg. The Manusmriti) is this concept of “Varna (caste)” i.e. the RANKED SEGREGATION of Humans based on Color, Occupation, Bloodline and Race.
Link: https://imgur.com/a/V4QIu3q
These texts not only granted special birthright privileges to certain “castes” but also acted as religious sanction to a hierarchical and exclusionary social order, thus intertwining spirituality with social regulation. These texts prescribed occupations, requirements and duties of each caste as an idealised human calling, one that is pre-ordained by God and decided at birth.
According to this system, only the pure-blooded Upper caste Hindus (the Brahmins, the Kshatriyas and the Vaishyas) reserve the birthright of enjoying unquestioned access to privileges such as education, engagement in certain professions, access to business networks and employment, land ownership and access to temples/religious places, etc.
Those who do not belong to these castes (for eg. Tribals, Indigenous people, Dalit’s aka “Untouchables”) must stick to their pre-destined professions of bonded labour/slavery to the Upper castes and be subjected to practises like “Untouchability”, not being allowed to touch public drinking water sources, denial of fundamental rights to education/land ownership, etc.
This implementation of social exclusion was done actively and aggressively through violence and severe “punishments” for anyone who dares to “step out of their caste role boundaries preordained by God and his Religious doctrine”.
Eg. Dalit kid gets beaten to death by his teacher for touching a drinking water pot at school
Ref: https://imgur.com/FgO3aQt
It’s also for this very reason why Endogamy (the practice of marrying within one’s own caste group) and its strict enforcement is such a cornerstone of Caste.
By demanding marriage within a particular group, endogamy restricts social mobility and reinforces caste divisions, ensuring that caste status is inherited and unchangeable.
Endogamy acts as a social barrier, preventing intermingling between different castes and thereby maintaining distinct caste identities over centuries.
This also helps in understanding the phenomenon of “Arranged Marriages” that exist in India, which puzzles so many Westerners. Well, you know now. They are actually “Arranged Caste Marriages” organised by families to preserve their caste bloodlines.
(One look at any Indian matrimonial ad will give you a glimpse of what that’s about)
And if you ever wonder what happens if someone chooses to marry for
