asked for a raise (im the only employee at a small cosmetics company. i handle the manufacturing, labeling, packing, and shipping, as well as keeping up inventory and keeping the place in order. basically everything) and my boss responds by trying to gaslight me, pulling this “we’re a small business 🥺” bullshit

he just bought a 60,000 dollar car and is taking his second vacation of the year next week

he keeps trying to hold “a week of personal time” i had to go on strike by myself to earn, “paid winter break” etc over my head. all shit that the government forces you to give your employees in every other country on the planet. america is a shit hole with no workers rights and it allows the parasitic small business tyrant class feel like they’re doing something good by offering the bare minimum. literally “i treat my slaves nicely” shit

sorry yall just wanted to rant. fuck america and work under capitalism

let me guess, they tell everyone how they started a business by themselves and they work really hard as a independent entrepreneur. they hustle, they grind, they strive. they created a brand and watched it grow.

yes. he loves to tell the story about how he worked tirelessly to come up with the formula for the brand and always says he “looked like a mad genius” scribbling his formula so many times to tweak it ☠️
