    Yeah it would be great if all those “job creators” could make some new ones instead of slacking off.

    My dad said something like this a couple months back. He didn’t think workers could run a business. When I pointed out all the bad decisions I’ve seen my bosses make, especially the ones made over the injections objections of workers, he didn’t have much of a response.

    People believe things emotionally. (All of us are susceptible to this, sadly.)

    Edit: fix strange autocorrect of injections instead of objections

      The problem with groups isn’t that they make bad decisions, it’s that they struggle to make any kind of decision.

      Doesn’t matter if it’s a boss, an owner, or a rep, someone has to take responsibility or nothing ever happens.

      Well there’s the problem! As good as it sounds, you actually lose a lot of the nutrition when employees are processed into injectable paste. Ultra processed workers are bad for you.

      Eat them raw as capitalism intended!

    As someone who has been a grunt, been a skilled labourer in high demand, been middle management and a small business owner operator can confidently say that the race to the bottom is littered with exploitation and leeches all the way down 😂

    The existing business ecosystem systems are inadequate to operate outside of the capitalist incentive and public service systems pieced together to work in tandem with the “free market” are equally pitiful at balancing efficiency and equality.

    We my friends are so very doomed lol fractured societies in competition at every level of organization compelled to act in their own interest while our collective demise looms.

    But my therapist says I have negative tendencies so maybe it’s not so grim lol

      Depends on what’s a boss.

      As for me, my manager/boss works the same hours I do. I don’t see her as not being a fellow worker even if she has a degree of authority over me.

      The CEO of my last company, was some rich American billionaire- so not them.
