    True, but having the moral high ground doesn’t pay the rent, so without either outside help or organized rebelion all it will do is hurt the little guy.

    As it stand now they effectively won, we waited too long, not saying it can’t change but individual action is not enough

      …organized rebelion…

      What do you think I’m advocating for here? Demanding your rightfull place as a worker is rebellion.
      Sure, one dignified chump quitting will be laughed at; but one thousand? ten thousand? will make them sweat.

        But 1000, 10,000 aren’t doing that. This is just one person reacting to their boss and quitting on the spot. You have to organize and plan this shit out. General Strikes don’t just magically “happen” when enough people are pissed off, those pissed off people have to actually coordinate with each other.
