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!
According to Corp propaganda, not doing more than what one’s job description entails is ruining profits, so it shouldn’t be hard to achieve. And it doesn’t go against work ethic, either!
The owner class: No one wants to roll up their sleeves to do a hard days work anymore! Shameful!
Also the owner class:
I had a work ethic, got a masters in a helping profession, just to find out it was my job as a psychologist for poor populations to prioritize getting suffering poor people back into the jobs ASAP, after providing some coping exercises and pills to dull the pain, that drove them to a breaking point or desperate crime to begin with, in the 3-6 whole sessions they were allotted, while ratting them out for confiding in me that they smoked a joint to their parole officer.
Eventually I couldn’t take part in it anymore, and certainly couldn’t pursue providing therapy to the willfully ignorant with infinite budgets that don’t even care what their gluttinous lifestyle demands inflict below them.
Sincerely, thank you. And you have my full respect. It was precisely such honesty which got me out of a self-deprecation spiral, when one therapist proposed that maybe I just hate myself because the world taught me to.
I work in a public library so, we don’t have profit. I do rage at the bureaucracy though.
I work at a non-profit.
Good job then, no profits, well done!
