      That’s going to be incredibly illegal to use outdoors. Make sure you know what the regulations are before engaging in any kind of jamming, you might block someone else’s emergency transmissions.

    You can of course quit now, but that will mean you’re job hunting while unemployed, which is a far worse scenario. You can also just put up with it, but it sounds like that’s a shit scenario too.

    So the best course of action you can immediately take right now is go window shopping for a new job until you find something you like. Whether it comes by this week or six months from now, you have the luxury of having nothing to lose here and you have the best hand.

    Even look at getting a new certification if you feel like it and if you can—ball’s in your court. Every time that little bastard undermines you, let it be the fuel that’s encouraging you off to greener pastures. Explain that in your exit interview, and remark on how they’ve come up with an interesting employee retention strategy.

    You seem kinda despairing and dismissive of the obvious answer… talking to your union.

    You have no power over your employer, but your union does.

    Additionally, and this is kinda wild but, have you spoken to your supervisor? What did they say? Did you explain what it is about it that’s so annoying?

    I’ve worked as a consultant for companies that use this type of thing and most disable the verbal warnings and stuff because they’re not helpful in any way.

        Sure ok.

        IDK how things roll in the US. In Australia I think most jobs can find a Union.

        Even if you don’t formally unionise, talking and negotiation is the way to resolve this. If all the drivers express their misgivings to their supervisor in unison they’re likely to be heard.

          In the US the manager is likely to tell them all to pound sand if they dont like it. We have very few workers rights here sadly. You are correct that being in a Union would be much better. I wish we had more of that here, but a lot of people believe the BS that they get fed from thier corporate overloards that Unions are bad.

    Do you know what kind of sensors it relies on to observe its surroundings?

    It’s probably more than just this, but if anything audio related, you could try to come up with a poisonify device to fuck with it.

    Might be more trouble than it’s worth if you’re not tech savvy, wish there was more stuff like this I could recommend.

    I know most of the comments here are from ignorant disinterested observers who aren’t really thinking through what they are saying, but man. If the first thing you think of is fraud and sabotage when your employer acts within the boundaries of your contract, you’re a bad person.

        Well, I’m not an employer. You’ll have to define what “bootlicker” means to you. Go ahead, I dare you.

        Are you also endorsing fraud and sabotage? It sure seems like you are.

          Okay… Bootlicker: A person who behaves in a servile or obsequious manner.

          You seem to be an ardent defender of the ownership/elite/capital class’s controlling behaviors. If you’re not a member of that class and say what you have been saying, then you are a bootlicker of said class.

          I don’t believe me calling you a bootlicker is an endorsement of fraud or sabotage, although I hope things work out for OP. That would be such a demeaning situation to be in.

    Hi. 3F Copenhagen member here. I believe the scaffolders club are organising something over a similar situation that is, however, less intrusive than yours. Your situation is like a horror story version of what the scaffolders are getting (GPS tracking, logging of their company vehicles. They don’t have AI… Yet…).

    Do you have a union you can turn to?

    What can I do?

    Varies wildly.

    Some people are in unions, others “at will” employment.

    This is something to ask coworkers and hopefully a union rep.

    Whats wrong with joining a union? Some 50 yrs ago, over 80% of factory workers were unionized, today its more like 30% iirc. Its not because unions dont work, its because they do and companies spend copius anounts to get them discredited.

    JOIN A UNION.

      I love how people talk about joining a union like it’s making an order on Amazon.

      If it was that easy bro probably wouldn’t be asking for help.

      The reality is in a lot of cases the easier thing to do is quit and fuck everyone else.

      Unions do very little to make it easier to create a new one if you are not part of one already, and even if you have the will, you also need the network, people skills, patience, money and contacts to make it work.

        Okay, I have to assume you dont actually know how unions work.

        Unions arent employer specific. They can be industry specific but they dont have to be.

        You just put your city or the industry you work into your favorite search engine and give the first 5 pages a cursory look. Whatever seems most interesting, you do a little research about. It the impression is net positive, you join them. Most unions also have some kind of solidarity thing where people who dont have a lot dont have to pay a lot.

        In return, they help you with work problems, help you find new work in some cases and even strike with you.

        Please join unions.

            I am not, which I realize is a huge privilege at this point in history. I’ve gone ahead and just searched workers union in atlanta (first city that came to mind) on duckduckgo and found this: https://ufcw1996.org/

            You can also join the international version of the union which i am a member of. They’re more radical and demand system change and quite large, depending on the country: https://www.iwa-ait.org/

            I realize that the us has been completely gutted in terms of unions. That does not excuse not trying to join one and it is exceedingly stupid to blame anyone but the powers that be for this.

            Individualizing systemic oppression is one of the largest weapons against an organized population. Making you hate your neighbor, the local soup kitchen etc for some bogus reason is what isolates people an makes them easy to manipulate.

            Keep that in mind if you get frustrated with democracy inducing organizations sometimes not being perfect. “Perfection” is another bogus idea of our sick system. “Works” is what we should strive for and noting more because that means more exploitation of life.

            I wish you a good read and feel free to contact me if you need help.

              You are giving a perfect example of what I’m saying. Zero of your information is useful or applicable and you insist that “just do it bro” is the answer.

              You apparently don’t even know unions work differently depending on the country, and yet you “educated” me as if you were giving me the secret to catgirls.

              This is exactly my point. There is a disconnect between the ideologues and those privileged enough to be able to join an existing union, and the reality of the majority of workers that can’t simply “just join a union or make your own” like its ordering a meal of Uber eats.

              Unions are a privilege, and we should stop acting like it’s something anyone can “just get one bro”.

                You’re aware that you’re claiming things and provide no sources or proof for them, right?

                Maybe lets start with trying to do the basics in debating other people. If you make a statement that is not unilaterally understandable, you back it up.

                That said, your ad hominem shows me you lack the personality to survive in a union. Going after fellow workers gets you kicked out in a heartbeat. We’re one class. Divided we fall, united we stand.

                Now show respect and explain if you think I’m wrong or gtfo.

                  “You lack the personality to survive in a union” yikes.

                  Sometimes I wonder if people like you are actually purposefully bad actors trying to give worker movements a bad rep.

                  But yeah, blind ideologues like you are exactly what I’m talking about. Sorry you need someone to explain this to you. Don’t worry I’m sure you’ll find someone who can dela with you.

                  Cheers buddy.

    This is the reason Unions exist.

    Individually you have no power. As a group you do have power to force them to revoke these decisions.

    Your choice is joining a Union or not.

      Ok, but what can OP do now? I support joining a union. But if there is none, then forming one takes time.

      Is there anything that OP can do now? Quit, maybe?

    Line up a new job. Then get in the passenger side of the truck and let the AI drive today.

    Then enjoy your new job knowing you made the world a better place.
