CEOs don't deserve respect. Their goals directly oppose their workers. It's 2023, there are no new Revolutionary Ways to run a company,so the only way to increase shareholder and executive payout is to steal from workers. Calculate your hours, taxes, and benefit payouts on your own systems. Wage theft is the largest theft in the world. Even if it's a single dollar they will do it to every employee to increase profits. Never work off the clock, never do someone else's job, and always ask for raises that's at least 2x the projected inflation rate.
Company I work at will likely not even match inflation even though I've been going nuclear in my performance (specially in contrast to others )
Which is why I will no longer be doing anything past the bare minimum
And you still work there, so they've won
Not for long though.
I'm really at a loss with comments like this. What in the world do you guys propose instead? I've been job hunting for months to escape the hellhole job I'm currently in with no luck. I send out at least 3 apps a day and reach out to many of the companies I apply to over the phone. Most companies are barely willing to pay above federal minimum wage when they do give you a chance, which has been the same figure since I was a child. What do you actually want us to do? Live in the streets until we die? I can't even organize a union where I'm at because the turnover rate is the worst of anywhere I've ever been and no one stays for more than a few weeks, no clue what they're doing for money when they leave, but I'm not finding it. Again I beg, what am I supposed to do?
