Clown Job Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Remember before the pandemic Tories bigging up zero hour contracts? I wouldn’t be surprised in the near future we see some sort of At will employment they use in the US coming in here 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does appear so in that video, aye. She shouts it once and then realises what's going on, shakes her head and then shuffles out the crowd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is like something from The Thick Of It right enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to be honest. I personally wouldn't touch a job like that with a bargepole. I wouldn't be able to sleep at night with the guilt. Everyone takes advantage of cheap labour from the third world in some way. I hope you don't drink tea or coffeee or wear cotton or leather of have any electrical goods. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you suggesting I should research into the welfare of every single person involved in the entire global logistics chain for any and all products or services I might be interested in before I buy and that if I don't, I'm somehow complicit in poor treatment of fellow humans? No. That we are all complicit whether we are directly working with those poor guys on slave wages or not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coprolite Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 4 minutes ago, oaksoft said: To be complicit you'd need to actively know it was going on and continue regardless would you not agree? Also equally complicit? There is an enormous difference between taking a 5-figure monthly wage KNOWING your staff were starving in the streets and taking that sort of wage genuinely unaware that this was happening. One is being complicit, the other clearly is not. His staff wont be starving in the streets. They'll be bunking up in dorms in converted shipping containers and getting fed by the company. Wilful ignorance doesn't excuse anyone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s the painstaking “everything bad in the world is equally bad and unless you take issue with everything you’re a disgusting hypocrite” argument that seems to be creeping it’s way into online conversation more and more often. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not even remotely unusual in the UK, I'm a bit surprised you're even shocked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
