Bonuses Cut, Christmas Umbrella, Went to Jail 19 Days — This Steel Worker's Rant Is Legendary

Описание: Tom hasn't worked for anyone else since 2011. He can't imagine going back. But he'd get up at the crack of dawn, fight the commute, and clock in for one single day — if he could sit in this office and listen to this steel mill worker rant all day long.

ABOUT THIS VIDEO
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
A steel mill worker went on TikTok and said everything that blue-collar workers have been thinking for years — and nobody could stop him. He's been there three years. Of the 15 people in his orientation class, only three are still there. Matteo's quitting the second he gets his $3,000 bonus. The guy lost all his bonuses because the company classified him as a rehire after he went to jail for 19 days. And the Christmas bonuses? Three years ago it was $2,000. Two years ago, $1,200. This year — $500 after taxes, because they knocked off early, and an absolutely enormous umbrella so you can stand in the rain and use your Christmas present.

His take on safety training: more safety meetings equals more injuries. His take on orientation: a week of getting paid to sit on your ass, then most people quit right when their uniforms come in. His take on management: without production, there's no profit, so stop pretending otherwise.

Tom's been self-employed since December 2011. He cannot imagine going back to working for someone else — the commute, the schedule, asking permission for vacation. But he'd do it for one day, in that exact office, just to sit next to this man and hear him go.

This is the video that blue-collar workers are going to send to everyone they've ever worked with.
