They can. It’s called Work From Home.
That’s why they can’t
And pay them with company specific crypto they can spend in the company store.
You push 16 branches, and what do you Git?
Another day older and more tech debt
@saint_peter don’t you page me, 'cause I crashed the repo----
I owe my soul
to the bezostore
I owe my soul to the company store…
Next stop, severance minus the outie part.
Oh, for fuck’s sake. I started reading this thinking it was satire, and after it just kept going did I realize that this was serious, and not just some long-form ribbing.
We really need a term opposite to “eat the onion”.
I really shat the yam on that one.
I don’t know. I think the opposite of an onion would be an orange not a yam.
Well the opposite of eat would be barf, so, “horked the orange”?
Edit: a word
That works
I thought horking was snorting. Huh. I wonder whether that’s ever led to communication issues.
Corporations: “We will literally do anything to avoid giving our employees dedicated workspace where they can do their job uninterrupted.”
Company towns coming back as company apartments.
in the key of G “and I sold my soul to the company stoooooooore”
Glad to see someone on the same page. I read the title and immediately thought SAINT PETER DONTCHA CALL ME 'CAUSE I CAN’T GOOOOOOO
That’s what happened here. The mines gave apartments to the miners. The higher ups lived in better ones etc. Worked out well till the mines weren’t profitable anymore
well till
Water charges?
Can I pay in company scrips?
Nah, Europe isn’t as ducked as the US, the apartments just went to them and the city moved away from mining
Sure, let me take a dump on your desk too.
“No, no, no, it’s not a company town… it’s a company tower… which is completely different. By the way, did you meet Brian? He’s the new manager of the convenience store the company opened in the lobby. It’s right next to the company elementary school. You can use the company issued script to buy stuff there, it’s great!”
I’m sure it was your autocorrect, but for anyone who doesn’t know it, the term is “scrip” :)
Wait, I should type :( because it’s a very depressing concept.
It happens, sometimes, if you’re hiring someone to work in a remote location. Oil rig workers, say.
Why not cut this slippery slope crap and just go straight to slavery?
they stopped themselves from being literally The Onion just in time
I find it hard to believe he’d just table the idea at that point.
After the employees realise it’s just slaves
Slaves are more expensive since you have to treat them as capital.
Nah, you generally can depreciate capitalized assets /s
Only if they’re regulated. Or if salaried workers have any rights, since you could otherwise just conspire with other companies to push salaries down, ensuring
“free” slavescollaborating individual entrepreneurs are cheaper
This reminds me of the Onion episode where the staff from two different car manufacturing plants fight for there jobs.
No. They are absolutely desperate to get people to return to office aren’t they?
I’ve said it many times now. The workhouses are coming back.
