    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

    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.

    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…?

      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.

      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.

      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.

    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.

    Great, another 26 year old that stumbled into wealth and thinks that makes him an authority.

    Like those 20 something “executive coaches” fresh out of school I always seem to stumble upon on LinkedIn. They think they are incredible, but in reality they are only incredible in the literal sense.

    This is the most monstrous human being I’ve witnessed here. There is something fundamentally broken in him, and I’m terrified that this diseased thought process will spread through speech. I pray it’s genetic, and therefore quarantinable.
