Amen
Every days great at your Junes
Cumpanies aren't our friends!
And aren't our families
Ugh. I hate that so much. "Welcome to your first day at ConHugeCo. We're a family here." No you aren't. I don't pay my mother a salary. I can't fire my brother and replace him with a new brother. Also, everyone in my real family knows who I am and I'm free to ignore them when I want to.
Pirating is beautiful and moral
Good luck putting a roof over your head and feeding yourself with that attitude.
I've always had that attitude and never had that problem. It's the people who think that the corporations like them and have their best interests at heart that get fucked over the most.
Ok thanks, I need someone that knows who gets fucked over the most.
Any laborer who thinks that companies are their friend is (clearly) not a socialist.
But any laborer who thinks that companies are their friend is also, quite clearly, not an ideological capitalist.
The negotiating power of labor with capital is core to the functioning of capitalism and the free market. Laborers who think the elites are their friends, and not just cold cogs of an economic machine that must be dealt with only on terms and with power balances that benefit the laborer, are not capitalists. They're feudalists who are happy to kneel in exchange for nothing but scraps from the lord's table.
Left or right, companies are only your friend if you're willing to be a slave.
Actually, understanding that my company isn't my friend has helped me put a roof over my head. If I hadn't said "this is exploitative" and then left for a better company with higher pay, I probably wouldn't have a roof over my head.
Remembering that companies don't give a shit about you or your family is not the same as deciding not to work at all.
Good luck accomplishing that in this economy with the assumption that companies are your friend. Watching out for your own interests is a fat cry from not working...
Exactly. Like the VP who only signed on because of a guaranteed termination package of 1M thinks the company is their "friend." They see it for what it is, a cow that you milk for excess value, until it's time to move on to the next pasture
You don't need a corporation to be your friend to work for them in order to make money to mostly survive. You never have and never will. They don't care about your friendship, they care about the value you create for them, so why should you care about anything other than what fraction of the value they're willing to give back to you in return?
There's so much stupid in your comment it's not even worth trying to correct it lol
What attitude? Seriously, what attitude exactly are you denouncing here?
If you're suggesting that for-profit companies aren't trying to make money at the expense of the average person, I have some snake oil you might be interested in.
Also... you kids get off my lawn!
