So will this be sanctuary in the skeleton war?

Ok but like can you imagine that though?

It’s a meeting for the Skeleton War, which has been going on for decades. The Head Commander looks over the crowd of gnashing teeth and hollow eyes, more than she has ever seen before. Plenty of new recruits can be seen, still bone white and in some cases even still stained with blood, reminiscent of who they once were. What they once were.

The older ones are less shiny and brand new, some have gouges or cracks in their now dingy grey bones, some even worse off, with entire limbs missing. A few carry comrades’ heads on their back or chest, still talking and laughing with the others, still wanting to be a part of the fight. Not wanting to let go. She scans the crowd below, then traces up the walls and ceiling, eyeing the Elders. She wonders why they chose her to lead in this massive overthrow of the Meaties, but only for a split second as she knows to trust their judgement, as some have resided here for centuries. They are all mostly silent, with some hushed conversations and nodding here and there. No doubt scanning the crowd as she had, probably searching for new battalion leaders to serve under her command.

For a brief moment as she watches the Elders, she thinks about who or what they might have been, and if they had deserved to be mounted like prey. they certainly aren’t prey now. Her mind wanders to think about who she might’ve been before this. Nobody can remember who they once were in this room. For a second, that makes her sad. She shakes the thought out of her head as she rises from her Commander’s Chair at the head of congregation, built from the remains of the coffin she herself broke out of. A hush falls over the crowd as they wait to hang on her every word, eager to begin tonight’s rumpus.

With thousands of hollows aimed at her one sentence emerges from her clicking teeth, met with a chorus of haunting, excited bellows.

“So begins the end!”

And so it began.

I’ve seen workplace autonomy get reduced at several jobs I’ve worked at and it always follows the same pattern, where the initial change is “that sucks and I think it’s dumb but at least I can see some rationale behind it” and subsequent changes become arbitrary reminders that your employer controls you.

When I worked at a distribution center, we used to be able to wear headphones. Then one day, someone working at a different distribution center got their headphone cords tangled up in the conveyors and was seriously injured, and we weren’t allowed to wear headphones anymore.

I hated the change, of course, and thought it was stupid, and wondered if the incident they mentioned even happened, but I could at least see the logic to it: “wearing cords around miles of conveyor systems is dangerous.”

So people started bringing portable radios and stuff to work. No cords, no blocked ears, no problem. Until those got banned too. Why? Because they could, and they showed that they could when they banned headphones.

Then I worked at a testing center. After a while, cell phones were banned. And again, there was some logic to the decision: for starters, we were surrounded by confidential information, and also needed to maintain a quiet and discreet atmosphere. It was obviously an unnecessary overreach and showed that they saw their employees as children, but they at least had some security concerns they could justify it with.

So people brought in books and magazines to read during downtime. And then books and magazines were banned too. Why? Because they could, and they showed that they could when they banned cell phones.

It’s tied up with the culture of… I don’t know if there’s a term for it, but it’s something we’ve all seen. If there’s no tasks left to do at work, then stare at a wall. If you’re on the clock, then don’t sit down even if there’s no reason not to sit down. Smile. That whole thing.

“If there’s time to lean there’s time to clean”

Customers at stores complaining to management if you don’t look adequately productive.

No chairs for hours of stationary work.

Bosses who make you clean their offices during slow times because they’re paying you and you can’t so no.

Chronically and intentionally understaffed stores.

It should be minimum wage for minimum work but they will squeeze every ounce of “productivity” in your body for $7.25 an hour and leave you exhausted and dead inside and then turn around and say that minimum wage employees are lazy burger flippers and don’t deserve more.

Every ounce of control exerted on us, like how OP described, is because they think the wage they pay us is already too high, so how dare we not suffer while we work. They aren’t paying for us to have fun so if we don’t look adequately busy for the amount they’re paying us we are somehow cheating them.

Also building a culture of control helps guarantee that employers will never have to pay more than bare minmum wage. Stripping workers of as many rights as possible–even when there’s no profit or logic to it–is a major corporate control tactic.

Workplace abuse happens for a reason–tired employees accustomed to miserable working conditions are that much easier to exploit.
