Because at this point, the company has realized that they can't break our solidarity in any meaningful way by resorting to scare tactics or delaying.

And so now they've just resorted to straight up firing people because it's kind of like a break glass here in case of emergency thing where they're like, we're all out of ideas.

What do we do?

Yeah.

Just start trying to fire everyone.

Yeah.

Most recently, all the stores in both Boston and the East Bay area went on a four-day strike this November because the company illegally fired Abby, executive board member named Nora, and an organizer of ours in the East Bay named Ashley, for all incredibly petty reasons.

I don't know if you want to speak more to why you were fired, Abby.

And let me tell you, there's nothing worse than waking up at 430 to go to your opening shift at your stupid cafe job to then clock in and be immediately hit with separation forms because you wore green pants three weeks ago.

You must understand what a serious infraction it is to wear green pants, of course.

Firing Abby was generous, actually.

She should have been put to death for the crime of wearing green pants, of course.

Most likely.

This is some, like, fucking medieval, like, yeah, you pissed off the monarch by, like, you wore a color of pants that was, like, unfavorable to the eye of the king, and now he's, like, having you drawn in court.

Like, what is this bullshit?

Yep, I wore green pants in front of my manager, therefore I should not be able to make my rent.

Yeah, it's absolute gibberish.

That might be the all-time dumbest firing reason I've ever heard.

Like, what is this?

I'm friends with all of my coworkers.
