  • i work at a warehouse picking orders. this song makes me cheer up working 40hours a week for chump change

  • @omarism666 At the age of 53 I started work on the night shift in a foundry humping heavy metal. Some of the castings were heavier than me and all I got paid was peanuts. One of these days those greedy bastards will die and I, for one, won't grieve.

  • Seems much like the current expectations of the corpratocracy. Work harder, work faster, work more efficiently, get paid less.

  • @JSin1969 Spot on!
