You know it's written by someone who isn't American when they think your employer will allow you any of your rights. Recently there was a fedex building shot up and the workers couldn't call the cops because Fedex had them lock their phones up and you're not allowed weapons.
Our employers don't give us shit over here and in most states you're not even entitled to a fucking break, sick days, vacation, time off to vote... and it goes on. You can be fired for any fucking reason even if it's just that you wore an orange shirt and that is not ok in most states. Then you have to prove that you deserve unemployment and the company can drag their fucking feet about it for fucking months even if you eventually win.
You forgot the part where they get offended on your behalf. Like, fuck off man, I can defend myself if I'm offended. Stop acting like you're the moral compass of the world
