      If working in a shithole wasn’t enough, welcome to be a snitching bootlicker or die…

      I wondered when they were going to get to this stage. Imagine being an employee having ro beg not to be sent and an employer being forced to select who goes off to die.

      Everybody with a *Needs Improvement* or below in their End-Year Review.
      If the quota can’t be met they’ll draft everybody with a *Meets Expectations*.

      Imagine getting on your boss’s bad side and next thing you know, you are on a bus for 4 weeks basic training.

      Russia has been de facto conscripting troops for years now, this is just the latest escalation.

      Of course they continue to claim that “it’s not conscription, they’re all volunteers” but when the central government sets quotas that must be filled, the regions and provinces fill their quotas with troops who have been “voluntold.”

      For some reason Reddit loves this, and people keep insisting, “No Russia isn’t conscripting, because they don’t *call it* conscription you see it can’t possibly *be* conscription,” but it turns out that every once in a while, from time to time, the Russian government does not actually tell the entire truth.

      Edit to add: Hahaha they just announced that they are setting volunteer quotas for universities now, too. Perfect timing.
