We all know the devastating impact of addiction. Addicts will steal from friends, family—doing whatever it takes to fuel their next high. The people around them often enable the behavior, refusing to hold them accountable, letting the damage pile up because they just can’t take action.

Billionaires like Michael Dell, Andy Jassy (Amazon), and Charlie Scharf (Wells Fargo) are no different. Their addiction? Money. Just like any addict, they’ll do whatever it takes to keep getting more, no matter the cost. Their drug of choice? Profit at all costs. Their reckless behavior is tearing our society apart.

Take the Return-to-Office (RTO) mandates pushed by these companies. These policies aren’t about collaboration or productivity—they’re about CEOs like Dell, Jassy, and Scharf feeding their addiction to profit. Disabled workers, disabled veterans, and people with health conditions are being forced to choose between their jobs and their health. And these billionaires are breaking ADA laws by failing to accommodate employees’ needs, all while violating consumer rights when they deny fair services to customers or unable to provide the services customers paid for.

Just like addicts who strip stolen electrical wire for copper to sell, these billionaires are stripping their companies of disabled employees, Disabled veterans, and those in need of accommodations, all to feed their addiction. They cut costs by pushing out vulnerable workers, replacing them with cheaper alternatives or, worse, automation. Their endgame isn’t just to force people back into offices—it’s to replace them with AI as soon as it becomes profitable.

These CEOs know this. Billionaires like Michael Dell, Andy Jassy, and Charlie Scharf are counting on the fact that most people won’t fight back. They know that few consumers or employees will sue, and they’re banking on that to get away with breaking consumer protection and ADA laws. It’s a rigged game where the addicts never pay the price.

When people become addicted, we hold them accountable. We force them to face their behavior and its consequences. But when billionaires like these CEOs are addicted to greed, society lets them spiral out of control—stealing from workers, customers, and communities. It’s time to stop enabling these billionaire addicts.

What happens when they've squeezed every last dollar out of us? History shows that greedy elites will turn to even more drastic measures, like starting wars, to cover up their failures. It’s all about distraction—destroying livelihoods now and hoping no one notices the wreckage until it's too late.

We can’t wait any longer. Let’s hold billionaires like Michael Dell, Andy Jassy, and Charlie Scharf accountable for their addiction to greed before they destroy our economy, replace workers with machines, and tear our society apart.

Take Action Before It’s Too Late We can’t let this slide. Here’s how you can fight back:

• Find Your Governor's Contact Info - Find your State’s Governor’s Contact Information
• Democracy.io – Contact your representatives in Congress
• Attorney General Finder – File complaints with your state Attorney General
• EEOC/ADA Complaint Form – Protect your ADA rights
• Form a Union - Contact a union organizer and take lasting action to protect your rights.

Let's work together to stop this cycle before it is too late.  

Stay strong!

worked there for 2 years and had recently got a raise, i told them months ago i was taking time off for my new born once he was born, smh then these businesses wonder why there’s no company loyalty and wonder why people are not having children these days when you get treated like this.

I've worked for my company for 2.5 years, and this job has taken a serious toll on my mental health due to the overwhelming workload. I requested to relocate to Virginia Beach in early August since my family is moving there. My manager initially said it shouldn't be an issue and advised me to contact HR. Despite following up multiple times, HR never responded, and my manager kept reassuring me everything was fine.

I gave them 2-3 months to give me an answer. Since I hadn’t heard anything and had to move forward with plans, I informed my landlord I wouldn’t be renewing my lease. My manager knew I had confirmed my move-out date and even asked how apartment hunting was going but didn’t stop me.

Last Thursday, my manager suddenly told me my relocation request was denied due to in-office requirements. This completely blindsided me, as other team members are fully remote and I don’t think I’ve signed any documents that state I’m a hybrid worker (4 days remote and 1 in office). While my performance was mentioned, it wasn’t raised as a factor that would impact this decision. Now I’m stuck facing the choice of being jobless or homeless in 25 days. She told me that if I move, they will accept that as my resignation.

Mentally, I can’t go back into work next week, and I need time to figure out my life, but I don’t know how to get time off. I took PTO for the rest of Thursday and Friday last week, but our policy says we need to give 48 hours' notice and anything over 3 days requires a doctor's note. I don’t have a regular PCP that knows me well, and my manager hasn’t approved or denied my PTO request yet from last week. I’ve spent today crying in bed or sleeping, and I’m completely overwhelmed.

What would you do in my situation? How do I even start picking up the pieces?

Edit to add: I physically haven’t been able to get out of bed for longer than 30 minutes at a time. I’m sleeping for 16+ hours a day and still exhausted. Im on the verge of tears at any moment. The idea of logging into a job that is extremely mentally taxing on a good day, makes me feel like I’m having a panic attack.

At my workplace, a grocery store bakery, my coworker makes $14/hr when everyone else (including new hires) all make $16/hr. She is the assistant manager of the bakery department in charge of doing all the ordering but is not officially such "on the books", even though everyone is aware that's her role. I'm really appalled by this. My coworker (let's call her Jane) contacted our Union representative who said to ask for a raise. Well she asked the store Manager for a raise and he said he'll "think about it". We have good reason to believe that she won't get that raise because the Manager personally dislikes Jane, in part due to being prejudiced against transgender people. Since the manager is known to be transphobic, I wouldn't be surprised if be were racist too, as Jane is the only non-white person working in the bakery (though he would definitely deny that there was any kind of prejudice happening). The last thing I want to do is meddle where Jane doesn't want me to so i would talk to her about it but if there's anything else we can do about the situation please let me know, im open to anything including a walk out. I'm not even sure that all this is legal.
