like, the primary offender in the gender pay gap isn't mean old husbands working all the hours, it's employers not paying women as much. He could pay her as much as her husband is getting paid! That would be the MOST feminist action on his part, and then the husband can quit his job and she can be the breadwinner, yas kween, woke boss drowns in twitter likes for feminisms, everyone's happy, but for some reason this isn't happening :thunk:

Turning workers against each other so they don't align against the bosses is capitalism 101

Hong Kong fans of Donald Trump are changing their Twitter icons to support the US president and protest the company for suspending his account.

Comparing Twitter’s decision to ban Trump with the Chinese authorities’ use of censorship to silent opposition voices, Hongkongers switched their profile pictures to portraits of Trump over the weekend, accusing social media platforms of violating rights to free speech.

Didn't anyone else slog through startup and/or agency work in the past? That's just the way they pitch their tyranny and a lot of the times it works. That's how you end up with those places where people are happy to work extra hours, catch up on more work when they get home and on weekends, and think it's awesome because of the "culture".

It reminds me of when that type of boss wokely promises unlimited vacation. It'll be in your onboarding paperwork as "The whole work/life thing? hey - we get it. Mental health is real - humans are complex. We're on it. Wanna take a day trip? Cool. [visit ALL the things meme]". But whoopsie, it's always crunch time! You're never using those "unlimited" days and if you do you'll hear about it (directly or indirectly) in any sort of review.

Just say no to informal buddy/buddy arrangements with your boss. They'll screw you eventually, and if you want to file any kind of complaint or get unemployment it's just your word against theirs. Love to see a boss soaking up the likes for his "actually lets *not* document this (ps i see you, you are valid)" management style lol

The more 'entertaining' an office looks, the more likely it is that they expect you to live there so go to places with the most boring offices possible as they're more likely to be 9-5 places where leaving the place is expected.

The person printing out her coursework and church bulletins on the regular is the same person that fired two guys for carpooling and each claiming mileage on their expense report. How can the average worker distinguish between "this is mine because I give everything to the company" and "this is mine because the company takes everything from me?"

When the boss tells you he's got an open door policy because he wants to work with employees one on one about their concerns, do you think it is some kind of benevolent offer?

Let me reply to this sincerely.

It doesn't matter what a capitalist (or their managers) think in their heart of hearts. Asking whether they are a "good" or "bad" person is beside the point. A capitalist (or manager) who chooses to reduce exploitation of their workers is eventually out-competed by a rival and is soon no longer a capitalist.

The system demands exploitation from top to bottom.

So unironically anyone who has a business, to the extent they employee others for their labor, is forced to maximize exploitation through means both overt and covert.
