Friendly reminder that HR is there to protect the company, not you
The problem with that is that quite often protecting you is what protects the company. I’ve worked with a lot of HR people in various sectors, and a large chunk of their job was telling management what they couldn’t legally. do.
I was in an IBEW union a while ago. I was an average employee, but it was like 9 or 10 bucks an hour, so that’s the work they got. I’m not going to bust my ass all day coming home dead, while all I management just walks and talks and sits in meetings all day. They tried to fire me one time and tried to get me to go with them to take a drug test and I said sure who’s car we taking to go do this? Let’s get this over with cuz I still have work to do. They stopped bothering me after that, but I left not long after cuz the pay was shit. But all my coworkers were cool as fuck inner city peeps from NYC.
This clearly should have been one of those cases
They are there to steal your labor for profit.
So many people find this out the hard way. Even when my paycheck is short because they ‘forgot’ to pay PTO for a scheduled or call in absence, I never call HR as long as my PTO bank didn’t go down. No good ever comes from being a blip on their radar. Especially as you get old and more expensive to insure.
I find it extremely funny that news like this is shocking to anyone. If you don’t realize just how awful companies are as a whole at this point then you’re intentionally ignorant. Your favorite brand is an awful, money grubbing machine that will prey on your insecurities, your pride, your hopes or whatever else to get you to buy.
In it, a speaker identified as Bally is heard saying, “We have sh.t for f…king poor people. Who buys our sh.t? I don’t buy Campbell’s products barely anymore. It’s not healthy now that I know what the f…k‘s in it.”
He also referenced “bioengineered meat,” saying, “I don’t wanna eat a piece of chicken that came from a 3D printer.”
🤣 Telling it like it actually is. It’s less expensive to make your own, homemade soup and you get more meals out of it.
Bake a chicken and put lots of veggies around it. We use potatoes, broccoli, onions and red peppers. Brush melted, real butter if you can.
Eat and enjoy for 1 - 3 meals, depending on how many people are eating.
Save the bones and put in a large pot with water. Boil it for about a 40 minutes. Let it cool, strain it, and then freeze small portions of it. Now you have chicken broth ready. Add milk or cream when you’re heating it back up for a different taste if you’re bored.
This is the way. But all bones of any meat you eat should be saved for soup broth. Whole chicken is especially useful in this manner, because there are lots of little scraps of meat leftover with whole chicken that fall off the bone and into the soup when boiling the bones to make the base.
This is one of the best things I learned to do when I was a poor person.
A whole chicken is relatively inexpensive, especially if you are buying on sale. There’s not much easier than roasting a chicken. Just follow a basic recipe, nothing fancy.
That also makes your leftovers very versatile. I like to use them to make chicken stock with the bones and some veggies or to make chicken pot pie. You could also just use the meat for a chicken salad or something. Or toss it in a salad. But don’t waste the bones!
Now I do this every Thanksgiving with a roast duck and I use the leftovers to make duck pho (I don’t have to feed a lot of people.)
Better yet, boiled a chicken whole and have all the soup.
You’re allowed to use swears on lemmy.
Generic store brands are better and more affordable. But any canned soup with High Fructose Corn Syrup is horrible for you.
I actually did purchase a reasonable amount of Campbell’s stocks in the past. (Broth, not company stock)
Won’t be purchasing any more, I’ll pay the bit extra for Maggie Beer stocks instead which as a plus are locally owned.
Won’t be purchasing any Campbells products at all moving forward.
Btw, Maggie is owned by Nestlé which is inarguably one of the most evil corporations in the world.
Its difficult to find non shitty brands because of this parent company situation. I only recently found out about Maggie. No more for me.
You are thinking of Maggi.
Maggie Beer (That’s her name) is a South Australian chef-turned-TV-personality that runs a small foods company.
Maggi is the yellow and red bullion cubes and Maggi arome.
Maggie Beer is a lady.
I’ve just started making my own stock. $5 rotisserie chicken, break it down, whatever isn’t taken off goes into a pot with some mirapoix, garlic, and Tony Chachare’s, boil it down until I can throw most of it in an old pasta sauce jar. Keep everything I filtered out and with the last of the broth I add some rice. it tastes soooo good!
Making your own stock is a great option. It’s cheap and easy but it does take time and planning. I keep a couple jars of Better Than Bouillon in the fridge for quick weeknight dinners where I need some broth/stock. One of chicken and one of beef. It’s cheaper per unit and better most other store bought options. They have bigger jars at Costco, too.
It’s being boycott hard in Canada, just gave me another reason.
After hearing him talk about their meat honestly… I don’t think I’ll ever eat another can of Campbell’s soup again. I already nearly stopped simply by virtue of buying organic alternatives. Every time Campbell’s comes up with an ‘upscale’ versions of their soups they taste like shit. It’s telling that their cheapest product tastes best.
If we could only hear the goings on behind the scenes at every large company that stocks food on our pantry shelves. I’m sure we’d be a healthier nation. Ah, who am I kidding…
reminds me of my childhood friend, his dad owns a tuna canning company, when i went to visit him at his house the first time, they offered lunch, my gullible mind was expecting fish, they had steak insted, because of course they are rich lol
You can only eat a small amount of tuna due to bioaccumulation of mercury and other junk. Once a month or less.
Sad. I love tuna.
I think the maximum recommended amount is more than that, but not substantially. Which is sad because I also love tuna.
I try to get maximum enjoyment out of it by buying the fancy sashimi.
I googled this and found “no more than four cans a week”
They type of tuna matters too. Skipjack tuna should have lower mercury. Also one brand tests for mercury and its called safe something.
Time to boycott Campbell’s. For this and for their recent illegal dumping scandal. That’s why Campbell soups are urk, urk crap!
Don’t you hate it when there’s a good boycott starting, and you realuze that you’re already boycotting them for a previous atrocity?
Aka the nestle phenomenon.
Long ago, I looked over Nestle’s brands, and I have chosen alternatives to anything they distribute, and usually they are actually better products. Evil companies tend to let their evil slip into their product quality.
Or when the product is already shit and you don’t buy it anyway. Progresso is better.
(Now fully expecting someone to tell me Progresso personally sent bombs to Israel or something.)
I tried Progresso again recently, and it was truly awful. I just make my own soup now. It’s not that hard, I usually just improvise some stuff together from leftovers in the fridge, and it’s always better than anything I can buy. I recently discovered that a spoon of Korean gochujang paste makes any soup tastier and spicier.
Yeah soup is the easiest thing to make. Throw things in a pot inverse to their cook time. Add broth and simmer.
I loved Campbell’s soup as a kid. IDK if it’s worse now, but the main ingredient is salt. Maybe it always was and I once liked that.
Anyway, buying it if you’re poor is crazy, if you have any way to cook at home. There’s maybe 10 cents worth of ingredients in the can.
No, it’s worse now. Almost no meat, less veg, more pasta, thinner broth. And what’s still in it is lower quality, like I’m sure the meat is like 49% soy protein.
If you want good soup, you can’t get it in a can. (Except clam chowder. Just don’t get Campbells or Progresso.)
I used to think Progresso was ok, and sometimes went on sale relatively cheap. The main thing I still get in cans now though is TJ corn kernels.
It was always that. Worked in the food retail sector earlier in my career and the Campbell’s Soup reps would joke that their two main ingredients were salt and hot water.
Campbell is mostly water barely anything else.
Add him to the guillotine list
Shame. Whatever happened to corporate integrity?
His predecessor would be spinning in her grave lol
Does anyone have a link to the audio that doesn’t have advertisements pop-ups or a shitty mobile experience? Perhaps… A direct link to an audio file? I fucking hate the web
Firefox + ublock origin = no ads on youtube. I use the browser on my phone instead of the app for the same reason.
I did find a soundcloud link, though https://soundcloud.com/dead-kennedys-official/soup-is-good-food
I don’t know why you linked me to the song… But that is not what I wanted… Thank you for not at all listening to the audio clip
Oh, I thought you were replying to the comment that’s a link to the song on youtube, just above your comment Misread the indent level. Well, isn’t my face red!
No worries. I just wanna hear that dude say what he said without having to jump through a bunch of hoops
Fucking suit. Congratulations for destroying your brand.
Imagine - this isn’t really going to affect the guys ability to survive. Maybe he won’t be able to afford a second yacht or something, but he’ll still make unfathomably more than most of us will ever make, despite being a fucking moron and a cruel person. There is no meritocracy in the C-suite.
It’s almost like late stage capitalism incentivizes people like this to not give two shits what they say or do because there will never be consequences…
Fuck that asshole, never buying that shit again.
