Yeah, we need more of the “I’m so desperate I have to keep working even though my town is being shelled” mentality here in the United States of Freedom! That’s the dream our forefathers fought for!
This guy rents out storage boxes and thinks he’s some sort of business genius LOL.
His ego is larger than his penis size.
If Americans would just socialize in real life and stop using these companies, then they wouldn’t get ad revenue and they would go away. I block all fucking ads. I have contingencies. I VPN all the fucking time. I lie about my telemetry. I have a recursive DNS server. I mean I do everything I can. The internet has become walled gardens and hostile towards working people. It is a front in the class war. Some people are just late to show up to the party. I use my Boomer mother who’s too stubborn to adopt my methods and also probably doesn’t have the cognitive abilities as my control group. Being a pessimist and not trying is you locking yourself up in your own chains. My mom’s phone rings off the hook daily. While mine rings about once a week. we use the same phone. Two phones, same model phone. I do not use Facebook because I’m not a beta cuck or any of these things. I do not use Twitter. I do not use Reddit. I do not use GitHub. I don’t use any of these fucking things. If I had a job that required these services, I would create a computer that was just for work, and I would take the battery out of it when I got home. I would never connect it to my own internet. You pay for something and then they milk you. Now tell me how does that make sense? The problem with America is a nation of uber-cucks. This is war! At the end of the day, if it gets worse than this, I am willing to smash every computer I have. But I don’t need to do that, because I don’t have Windows Management System. I don’t use Mac. core boot baby. If you want a future worth living for, then try harder. The last thing you want to do is bring work home. I will return to the office and I would hope the workers that I worked with wanted to have a union. I don’t shit where I eat.
This has to be satire. Please, someone tell me it’s satire.
It has to be.
Point one says come back to the office, indicating they don’t like remote work.
Point two says hire people to work remotely.
I’d like to believe you, but that could just be hypocrisy and cognitive dissonance.
Do something to differentiate yourself, accept a pay level like you live in a war torn country
The extra L stands for leadership.
“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.
Them: If this thing happens to me that most likely will not happen to me, I’ll do this thing.
You: No, you won’t.
You see what that shit looks like? Congratulations Cletus, you’ve spoken the obvious about a hypothetical. No I won’t be shooting the people responsible for destroying the planet, thanks for reminding me.
Pokemon trainer NPC
That got me fired up!!!
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
Receiving a message like that from an employee and responding with anything other than encouragement to do whatever they need to keep themselves safe makes you a colossal piece of shit.
It is common for children to lack global perspective and we don’t smother them in their cribs. It is common for that immaturity to persist into adulthood and we still don’t murder those people for their naïveté. It takes some people longer to learn their lessons. Killing them before they’ve learned them is an unforgivable mistake.
I didn’t say anything about doing violence to him. I just said he was a piece of shit.
Then I’ll rephrase. But there are a lot of comments in this thread suggesting we murder him, which would not be a punishment fitting the crime.
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.
Edit: trying to learn not to call young adults kids, even when they totally look or act like one
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
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.
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
Collin really gives off that “I kill small animals to feel alive” vibe.
The disconnect from reality here is just mind blowing. Dude needs to go overseas and witness how utterly terrifying a threat on your life you have no control over actually is. Sidenote: punchable face.
Motion to eject them before they eject us
I yield back my time
Yeah actually mental.
What he calls ‘dedication’ is actually fear at having to hold your job down during the middle of a fucking WAR because if you disappoint your corporate overlords you will be both getting missiles rained on you AND unable to support your family.
It’s desperation, and desperation which is very intentionally baked into the system so dickhead ‘leaders’ like these can get the slaves they are looking for and label that slavery as a ‘positive work ethic’
So out of touch with real people.
What are “people?”
You mean the objects that exist to further my ambitions, and accumulation of wealth?
Not my problem.
/s
Basically any CEO, and even most small business owners, would kill you if it meant a few percent more yearly profit.
Not all, but definitely the majority.
He’s been brainwashed to exalt capitalist culture, probably by his parents and their social circle.
This guys job ‘title’ is an automatic block for me, dawg.
He probably went to School of life.
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.
