You're right that the power dynamic here is really bleak. But there are still some things an employee can do individually or in a group:

- Coffee Badging: where you only come in for coffee in the morning and then leave

- Buddy Badging: team up with coworkers badge to scan each other in on alternating days, weeks, whatever

- Quiet Quitting / Lying Flat: aka. chilling on performance while you wait to get fired or look for another job

- Malicious compliance: make a lot of noise, microwave fish in the break room, or anything else you can do to terrorize decision-makers

- And finally the going for the jugular....try to organize your coworkers into collective action, ultimately working towards a union
