This has to be satire. Please, someone tell me it’s satire.

That got me fired up!!!
“I live in a poor and war-torn country so I will work for a low wage even while my home might be bombes”
Captialist nut jobs: “So dedicated!”
I swear, if it was legal to execute employees they would do it everyday because “that’s what it means to be a good CEO” or some shit
They’d sell their organs first.
“Today is mandatory skin, bone marrow, and liver donation day. There might be pizza. Employees with moret han one kidney have to refer to HR.”
If I post in slack that my family was almost killed and the CEO responds with “this is getting me fired up!!” I will absolutely leak admin credentials and let that bitch get hacked. Kinder and gentler than choking a mf
I saw that disgusting comment at the bottom. He is a caricature businessman from a Verhoeven movie. We’ve reached what was supposed to be over-the-top satire.
I would hack the next incoming drone and target it at the CEO.
No, you won’t.
I’ll bet $50 this “CEO” has very few “employees.” Maybe just one. Which makes the screenshot message even sadder.
OK yeah. He is a recent grad from Dartmouth and his company markets exclusively to college students and boasts $500,000 in sales.
This might sound like a lot but it’s not enough to have many employees. He’s essentially a self-employed
kidyoung man acting as the sole managing member of a disregarded entity and his “Pakistani employee” is likely a 1099 gig-worker, not a w2 employee.So, big grain of salt here. It’s a
kidyoung man cosplaying as a big-shot CEO on social media. Maybe don’t luigi this one until he’s had the chance to actually be a colossal piece of shit.Edit: trying to learn not to call young adults kids, even when they totally look or act like one

Meh. Act’s like a kid, is likely a kid.

This is admirable, I could do better about that myself.
likely a 1099 gig-worker, not a w2 employee
I’m not familiar, but those both sound like visas for foreign workers? From the original post, I don’t think the developer is living in a western country. I think it’s outsourced to a Pakistani living in Pakistan.
Just the tax forms. I should’ve said [sub-] contractor instead of 1099 sorry. Calling a contractor an employee publicly on social media is a hilarious way to owe back taxes but he has no experience with that yet. He just started and thinks he knows everything.
They are tax forms, a W2 is an employee (basically) and a 1099 (usually -NEC) is a contractor.
Fun story on that subject! When I was a kid my dad briefly worked for a online shopping company and when he was laid off he filed for unemployment. Upon filing for unemployment he learned he was misclassified as a independent contractor and became the center of a lawsuit between the DOL and his old employer. He ultimately got unemployment benefits and a severance btw
Yeah it’s a fairly common exploit that you can’t really get away with long term because of stuff like this. If your employee still thinks they’re an employee, they will assume they have the rights of an employee, and the DOL and IRS might be inclined to agree.
International gig workers are generally safe from misclassification. The companies they work through usually handle most of the paperwork and give you a subcontractor agreement. As far as the government is concerned they’re the same category as temps, which is fine, but obviously you still should avoid calling them “employee” on a public social media page just to make your company sound more successful than it is.
Those are just tax code for employee/self employed contractor
There was a time when there was 1 working person that could support a family, buy a house, buy a car, and save for their retirement… and often save for their children’s education. I don’t know who is to blame. All I know is there are now oligarchs. 2 working adults have trouble paying bills. Many are stuck in an endless payday to payday cycle just to pay their rent and expenses. Oh! But wait a minute…Trump is offering $5000 to families to have a baby! No health care, no maternity leave. But $5000. These SOBs are so out of touch!
That time was super short, happened only in a few selected countries and is an anomaly blip in the history of the world. And even if you think that your life is noticeably worse today, you’re still far far better off than the majority of the population today and throughout history.
As for why this time has ended: humans have a need to live in a need. Otherwise they become bored and destroy everything they have. Again, that state of life is not normal, humans cannot live like that, we’re not adapted to such conditions.
Indigenous people were living all over the world very well, until the Europeans invaded their space, and their world. Hawaiians were the epitome of peace and tranquility. And then the Europeans came…
What does Europe have to do with anything? Indigenous people were living in Europe until the Homo Sapiens invaded.
Ahaha, right!
I vote for sending drones to american ceos, I’m sure they will “give a shit” afterwards and be more motivated on the workplace. 📈 /s
CEO is just a regime whore tbh
Because it’s so important that you physically sit here in the office, we’re replacing you with people on the other side of the planet.
Bonus points if your company mandates return to office, lays off people after they return to office, and then builds a nice new office overseas in a completely opposite timezone to fill with replacements. Then make the people there physically sit in that brand new office… and make them report to the people here.
The job? Data entry.
I just… I don’t… Why…
Something something a lot of people falling for talking points put forward by people invested in commercial real estate because if companies start going fully remote the value of commercial real estate will collapse. Combine that with a mix of people who own these companies also being invested in commercial real estate so it’s self serving and companies just in general wanting to have more control over employees.
Collin really gives off that “I kill small animals to feel alive” vibe.
This guys job ‘title’ is an automatic block for me, dawg.
He probably went to School of life.
This definitely meets the Lunatic level.
I have said this in another post, Western employers love to hire non-Western immigrants because non-Western cultures are still traditional and conditioned to obey authority and hierarchy, and to value work more. And more importantly, this results in a less class conscious population, so non-Westerners are less likely to complain and unionise than their Western counterparts. While the minimum wage in most Western countries is peanuts these days when one considers the worsening cost of living, immigrants think Western minimum wage is CEO-level salary when compared to their home country’s basic pay, and thus don’t complain for being overworked for little pay by Western standards. Needless to say, Western companies exploit non-Westerners because the latter don’t know better.
That may be true, but that’s not what’s happening here.
What’s happening is that person is so desperate for any income in a place that is an active war zone to support their family. Earning more money than they ever could there, where there in literally no income.
Fuck, I hate American MBA culture.
I don’t disagree. Economic predicament is also exploited by capital owners to exploit workers no matter the race and ethnicity.
i thought he was going to say something like “I got this message, look how horrifying our foreign policy is and how it affects random innocent people” but he just instead decided to go “hey wanna exploit some labor overseas for cheap? consider hiring someone currently getting carpet bombed; it’s so lucrative!” fucking psycho
Biggest way to save on payroll, take the highest paid employee, and just offshore that position. Going to guess that’s probably the CEO.
And honest question, the fuck do most CEOs even do, exactly? Not there ones working at startups or whatever… Why are they given seemingly dictator power over the company? Why not remove the position and use democracy to run the company…?
They supposedly make decisions to constantly raise the returns for investors. I.E., profit, and stock price.
That’s it. And when the investors lose confidence in that ability, the CEO “resigns,” and gets an obscene “Retirement Package.” on the way out. The “Golden Parachute.” On top of “Retainment Bonuses” to not to quit while successful, other arbitrary bonuses, travel expenses, figuring out how to not raise wages for employees, suppressing unionization attempts, sacrificing infants to Mammon, having sex with underage girls/boys, etc.
This entire culture is obscene.
CEO’s are the fall guys when immoral decisions need to be made.
They are easy to replace, get a golden parachute, and all the board members can continue their fucked up shit without anyone important going under.
But they almost never get prosecuted for willful, and intention malfeasance.
You have to be caught stealing from other rich people to get prosecuted as a CEO, or be so obviously guilty the populace would riot.
Why not remove the position and use democracy to run the company…?
Because that would be socialism, and socialism, as we all know, is EVIL.
“Sharing Is Stealing.”
Milton Friedman, Patron Saint of MBA’s.
Hey, look I’m all for democracy, but it isn’t a be all solution for everything.
Guillotines are the solution for billionaires.
They’re supposed to be the one that lead the company to become better and bring in changes, and take the fall if something happened. They make decision for the company. But often its result in someone of nepotism/cronyism background with the boards and just sit there being useless, or someone the board of directors merely bring in to take the fall. The position itself is very useful for small private limited company, as the founder might not have the expertise to lead and inspire confidence from the worker.
“Better,” meaning higher profits and stock price.
That’s a given. Else there’s no need to hire a CEO.
I disagree.
AI could be CEO. That way there’s no bias, malfeasance, or lack of confidence.
I don’t give two fucks about shareholder’s “interests.” Or gambling addicts in general.
It’s not about “you” so let’s don’t make it about you. You don’t give two fuck but shareholder, publicly traded company or otherwise, do.
And I don’t give two fucks about your investment.
See, when you become an adult, you stop being offended when other humans don’t like what you like, or care about your interests.
Ok? Ok.
This is the corporate behavior Libertarians never want to discuss. Their Elysium where corporations treat everyone well and don’t destroy things out of some unforced understanding that to do so would place them at a major disadvantage is a farce. There will always be disparity, and corporations will leverage that to pay the poorer less than the better off, dump waste where there are no rules, and drive people to keep working while bombs fall near their homes.
No Libertarians have that philosophy.
Their philosophy is “No one should stand in my way to make profit, and I should never have to spend one cent on anything I don’t want to.”
Libertarians are hardcore Republicans who are smart enough to not state they are Republicans. They are True Believer Objectivists, and there is nothing admirable about them.
