    The big red supermarket I work for in Aus is being investigated by the government over their record profits during a cost of living crisis and all of a sudden they decided, for no reason, to check to see if they had been paying us right for the last decade and suprise, suprise, they’ve underpayed workers and are now paying it back as a “sorry”, yeah sorry you got caught.

      I bet there’s not interest on it either, so they still made a profit.

      Just enough to pacify idiots. Organize your workplace (to crime)

      In Norway people are adviced to get fucked for pointing out the record profits of the grocery cartel. We have 3 chains running the same wares for similar prices. The main fruit importer is owned by two of the chains.

      The chains are NorgesGruppen, Reitan-gruppen and Coop. That’s it. Custom barriers are preventing any competition from establishing.

      Our worst wares are of decent quality, but our best wares are of poor quality compared to other European states.

      We are now the worst country on the happiness index in Scandinavia.
