If these allegations are entirely false JPMorgan is welcome to share what information they do collect in a legally binding statement.
Reminds me of what lengths Amazon went to, spending millions on union busting instead of paying people a living wage. I wouldn't put it below them to do a little astroturfing, it probably pays for itself.
Also even the credible threat of something being the result of foreign influence, whether true or not, can already create the desired conflict. As we've demonstrated.
Back to the topic, I really have no opinion on whether r/antiwork has malicious influence. I have no idea on that. And either way the cause is still a just one. But my comment above was just noting that if it being influenced then those actors aren't "motivated to improve US working conditions", as the parent commenter said.
They try to say it’s about something else, but the posts that hit the front page are always just being angry about something like a supposed text from someone’s boss or a piece of paper with a message taped to a wall. The effort to fake any of these posts is 10 minutes of imagination and prep, at most.
They all tell stories of workers putting up with an unreasonable boss. I never see posts about workers criticizing all bosses or reasonable bosses, at least not that make frontpage.
I have a hunch it's actually to the long-term benefit of the economy if unreasonable bosses (emotionally abusive, sexually exploitative, illegal-action-requestinging, etc) are rooted out or rallied against.
It's telling that the vast majority of posts come from people working in jobs that would typically be taken early on in someone's working life, i.e. wage slaves. You don't really hear much from people who are established in their careers. It's true that wage slave jobs typically aren't very rewarding, but it's also true that most people have to work in unrewarding jobs for awhile until they gain the experience necessary to move up.
It appears to me that the folks in that forum feel entitled to skip over the whole part where they "gain experience in the world".
Not only that, but I've seen a repeating theme in which a manager makes a request of someone, and their response is utterly devoid of tact. Instead of just saying, "Oh, sorry I can't do that" or even just not responding and saying that they were busy and didn't see the message, they feel the need to become adversarial and "stick it to the man". I would argue that not only is it more effective to "take the high road" in such situations, it also takes less effort than adversarially engaging with your manager.
Like instead of starting a message with, "I already told you last week that I planned <some thing>, and in fact, I quit." Maybe instead try something like, "Hey, I'm so sorry, I can't tonight. I have that <some thing> at 7. Maybe Carter can cover the shift?"
