I like how none of the abilities are actually doing work.

Doing exactly what your job description entails, to the letter, to specified standards, nothing less and nothing more. No going above and beyond. Way too many places demand 110, 150, maybe even 200 percent of what you can deliver. Working to rule means you deliver exactly 100 percent.

I know what it means. I was pointing out that was an ability that entails working

[–] Iron_Lynx@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

You're still working, but if the boss has come to rely on you going above and beyond, it's basically not working anymore.

Thank you for the explanation, I was not aware of the definition. What effect does this have on your work and on your promotion options though?

Then they fire everyone, make it illegal to strike, and replace all the workers with AI or Indians working remotely.

That's where the militant part comes in

Also considerably helps when it is a union across many different companies, states, etc.

The companies fail to produce quality goods and services now. Foreign companies take their market despite the tariffs. American companies go bust.

Absent Indians?
