In light of Vivek’s comments that Americans don’t pursue excellence, pursue excellence at reducing GDP through workplace laziness and negligence(that causes loss, not injury), anticonsumerism, and reminding others that products/services used to be better so why bother buying them new now?
“won’t that effect my quality of life?”
They’ve been steadily reducing your quality of life, forcing 2 incomes for survival, and are literally conning and murdering you through health insurance and food safety abandonment.
Make Greed Contemptible Again.
Be a ruthless capitalist for yourself until they get the message.
Companies want the most return for the least investment. This is “good business.”
You are not a person to the company. You are an investment. The company wants to invest the least in you, while extracting the most value from you.
The company does that to you; do the same thing to the company. You want the most return for the least investment. Since the return you receive from the company - your wage - is entirely controlled by the company, you only have control over the investment side of your equation. Produce as little value to the company as possible.
Well said, the capitalists are unrepentant bad faith actors.
Return the favor, just be clever and discreet about it so you can keep doing it.
I learned it from you, Dad!
