Wow. That reminds me of what the guy who was fired said.

I’ll never understand him. He lives in a house that’s below sea level, with one kid and one wife, and it gets flooded every 4 years. He was raised 30% during Covid, job was quite comfortable, he was competent for it, then stopped pulling his weight. Wouldn’t it be easier to keep pulling weight and try to build something that works, rather than deploying energy for union tactics, and then live in a twice-more expensive above-sea-level house?

Yes it would. Sometimes people get stuck in a victimization loop.
