Yeah, we need more of the “I’m so desperate I have to keep working even though my town is being shelled” mentality here in the United States of Freedom! That’s the dream our forefathers fought for!
“I live in a poor and war-torn country so I will work for a low wage even while my home might be bombes”
Captialist nut jobs: “So dedicated!”
I swear, if it was legal to execute employees they would do it everyday because “that’s what it means to be a good CEO” or some shit
They’d sell their organs first.
“Today is mandatory skin, bone marrow, and liver donation day. There might be pizza. Employees with moret han one kidney have to refer to HR.”
This guy rents out storage boxes and thinks he’s some sort of business genius LOL.
His ego is larger than his penis size.
This has to be satire. Please, someone tell me it’s satire.
It has to be.
Point one says come back to the office, indicating they don’t like remote work.
Point two says hire people to work remotely.
I’d like to believe you, but that could just be hypocrisy and cognitive dissonance.
Do something to differentiate yourself, accept a pay level like you live in a war torn country
If I post in slack that my family was almost killed and the CEO responds with “this is getting me fired up!!” I will absolutely leak admin credentials and let that bitch get hacked. Kinder and gentler than choking a mf
I saw that disgusting comment at the bottom. He is a caricature businessman from a Verhoeven movie. We’ve reached what was supposed to be over-the-top satire.
If Verhoeven put this in a movie people would be like “that’s a little much” these people are disturbing
I would hack the next incoming drone and target it at the CEO.
No, you won’t.
Them: If this thing happens to me that most likely will not happen to me, I’ll do this thing.
You: No, you won’t.
You see what that shit looks like? Congratulations Cletus, you’ve spoken the obvious about a hypothetical. No I won’t be shooting the people responsible for destroying the planet, thanks for reminding me.
Because it’s so important that you physically sit here in the office, we’re replacing you with people on the other side of the planet.
Bonus points if your company mandates return to office, lays off people after they return to office, and then builds a nice new office overseas in a completely opposite timezone to fill with replacements. Then make the people there physically sit in that brand new office… and make them report to the people here.
The job? Data entry.
I just… I don’t… Why…
Something something a lot of people falling for talking points put forward by people invested in commercial real estate because if companies start going fully remote the value of commercial real estate will collapse. Combine that with a mix of people who own these companies also being invested in commercial real estate so it’s self serving and companies just in general wanting to have more control over employees.
The disconnect from reality here is just mind blowing. Dude needs to go overseas and witness how utterly terrifying a threat on your life you have no control over actually is. Sidenote: punchable face.
Yeah actually mental.
What he calls ‘dedication’ is actually fear at having to hold your job down during the middle of a fucking WAR because if you disappoint your corporate overlords you will be both getting missiles rained on you AND unable to support your family.
It’s desperation, and desperation which is very intentionally baked into the system so dickhead ‘leaders’ like these can get the slaves they are looking for and label that slavery as a ‘positive work ethic’
So out of touch with real people.
What are “people?”
You mean the objects that exist to further my ambitions, and accumulation of wealth?
Not my problem.
/s
Motion to eject them before they eject us
I yield back my time
Basically any CEO, and even most small business owners, would kill you if it meant a few percent more yearly profit.
Not all, but definitely the majority.
He’s been brainwashed to exalt capitalist culture, probably by his parents and their social circle.
Someone should fire this guy. Out of a cannon. Into the sun.
Just set him on fire here, no need to launch a rocket with all the pollution that will create.
End result is extra crispy lunatic either way.
We need a Pacific Garbage Patch for billionaires and horrible CEOs. Just shoot them into the garbage and let them become one with the ocean.
CEO: Working in office is good Also CEO: Hiring offshore is also good
???
Silly domestic remote employees want a livable wage and are less tolerant to being paid less because they don’t live in an overpriced area.
That’s weird. It’s almost like they don’t actually care about “incentive structure”, “attracting top talent”, “work/life balance”, “team cohesion”, etc. But they wouldn’t prioritize exploiting workers by seeing who they can control the most for the least amount of pay, would they??
😂🤣😂
I’ll bet $50 this “CEO” has very few “employees.” Maybe just one. Which makes the screenshot message even sadder.
OK yeah. He is a recent grad from Dartmouth and his company markets exclusively to college students and boasts $500,000 in sales.
This might sound like a lot but it’s not enough to have many employees. He’s essentially a self-employed
kidyoung man acting as the sole managing member of a disregarded entity and his “Pakistani employee” is likely a 1099 gig-worker, not a w2 employee.So, big grain of salt here. It’s a
kidyoung man cosplaying as a big-shot CEO on social media. Maybe don’t luigi this one until he’s had the chance to actually be a colossal piece of shit.Edit: trying to learn not to call young adults kids, even when they totally look or act like one
Receiving a message like that from an employee and responding with anything other than encouragement to do whatever they need to keep themselves safe makes you a colossal piece of shit.
It is common for children to lack global perspective and we don’t smother them in their cribs. It is common for that immaturity to persist into adulthood and we still don’t murder those people for their naïveté. It takes some people longer to learn their lessons. Killing them before they’ve learned them is an unforgivable mistake.
I didn’t say anything about doing violence to him. I just said he was a piece of shit.
Then I’ll rephrase. But there are a lot of comments in this thread suggesting we murder him, which would not be a punishment fitting the crime.
Edit: trying to learn not to call young adults kids, even when they totally look or act like one
Meh. Act’s like a kid, is likely a kid.
Edit: trying to learn not to call young adults kids, even when they totally look or act like one
This is admirable, I could do better about that myself.
likely a 1099 gig-worker, not a w2 employee
I’m not familiar, but those both sound like visas for foreign workers? From the original post, I don’t think the developer is living in a western country. I think it’s outsourced to a Pakistani living in Pakistan.
Just the tax forms. I should’ve said [sub-] contractor instead of 1099 sorry. Calling a contractor an employee publicly on social media is a hilarious way to owe back taxes but he has no experience with that yet. He just started and thinks he knows everything.
They are tax forms, a W2 is an employee (basically) and a 1099 (usually -NEC) is a contractor.
Fun story on that subject! When I was a kid my dad briefly worked for a online shopping company and when he was laid off he filed for unemployment. Upon filing for unemployment he learned he was misclassified as a independent contractor and became the center of a lawsuit between the DOL and his old employer. He ultimately got unemployment benefits and a severance btw
Yeah it’s a fairly common exploit that you can’t really get away with long term because of stuff like this. If your employee still thinks they’re an employee, they will assume they have the rights of an employee, and the DOL and IRS might be inclined to agree.
International gig workers are generally safe from misclassification. The companies they work through usually handle most of the paperwork and give you a subcontractor agreement. As far as the government is concerned they’re the same category as temps, which is fine, but obviously you still should avoid calling them “employee” on a public social media page just to make your company sound more successful than it is.
Those are just tax code for employee/self employed contractor
“Returning to the office” is such a gross phrase. Get fucked.
Isn’t it. It has a strange implication as though being in the office is the proper place and one day we all just forgot to be there.
My employer has stooped so low as to call it “return to work”. Like, what the fuck have I been doing the past 5 years!?
I’m currently in the final round of interviews for a new employer. I don’t expect that they will be nearly different, but at least they will pay more.
They hate the idea of not being able to control others as much as possible.
Even as they email directives in their pajamas, while skinnin’ it on Pornhub at the same time.
In my salary calculations, office days will attract an added cost and is part of the negotiation. MDA , with its multiple sites and janky schedule, for instance, was a 100k job with 300k of attracted bullshit.
We didn’t come to an agreement.
This.
“According to my analysis, a “Work From Home” strategy would eliminate the burden of office rent, utilities, inspections, and other arbitrary expenses.”
“None of that affects my compensation package. Requiring employees being here would increase productivity, and profit.”
“Actually, the data has shown that productivity and work flow has incre…”
“Fuck that, I know they’re jerking off, eating Cheetos, and playing video games on my clock. Bring them back, now.”
I’m going to start calling it “Leaving your home”.
This guy seems to have no clue that introverts and neurodivergents are way more sensitive to the hot/cramped/bright/loud environment as the toxicity it is - fun fact: open plan offices are considered sexist - and if he can’t engage his people at their fullest simply by enabling people to self-select work environment, then he needs a little more mentoring.
But that went out of style 20 years ago with technical writers and putting employee health before workload as required.
Your first mistake is assuming this person thinks other people are “People,” neurodivirgent or not. Other “people” are objects to be used when useful, and discarded when not. The only thing that matters is what can empower and enrich one’s self.
Your second mistake is thinking the the “Work Culture” of 20 years ago is a dead ideology. It’s not, they have a goal, and conviction to bring that back.
I’m not trying to be condescending, or insulting, but these people are incapable of empathy, and don’t have a conscience. The smart ones hide their psychopathy to a degree to keep themselves out of prison. They do not care about anything, or anyone not themselves, or anything that is not useful to their ambitions, or goals.
I mean that literally. THEY. DO. NOT. TRULY. CARE. ABOUT. ANYTHING. BUT. THEMSELVES.
Especially to “differentiate yourself” 🤣 it’s basically the exact opposite.
It feels like a phrase from a cult trying to convince ex members to return to the fold.
The reason they are cheap and dedicated is because they are desperate, living in a country where if they didn’t have this job they would literally be starving and in poverty.
So CEOs like this are simply capitalizing on their desperation to save money from hiring domestic workers who have a better safety net. Absolutely disgusting pieces of trash.
Also why does this guy who looks like a 19 year old frat boy believe anyone should listen to his advice?
why does this guy who looks like a 19 year old frat boy believe anyone should listen to his advice?
No, I get it. He reminds the bosses of their kids who they’re ignoring. He tells them what they want to hear so they can pretend their kids love them.
This sounds like the most convincing reason why this guy (or bot maybe) makes these posts. It is posts on LinkedIn afterall.
I looked this guy up. In addition to having the most generic white person name ever, and a face that I’m starting to suspect is an AI composite from the prompt of “generic professional white boy”, his website is a shitty SquareSpace template where the links don’t even work and the images are all generated as well.
His only claim to fame is owning a no-name storage unit business which anyone with some land and Pods can do.
I think this is a scammer who preys on “entrepreneur” wannabes.
No, not anyone can own a storage rental facility.
That takes a lot of money to buy.
Daddy probably bought it for him.
Anyway, my point is that he’s not some tech startup CEO who hires engineers off shore. He’s the equivalent of someone who bought a convenience store franchise license to “run his own company”.
Oh good. At least he’s a massive loser as well as a massive loser
He’s a rich kid who thinks he’s superior.
Put him to work in a rural South produce picking operation for a year without access to his trust fund.
But then, he may scheme how to work that situation for more profit after his term.
Cause mommy and daddy say how great he is
And loaned him the money to buy his self-storage business.
They have a Zero-Sum ideology.
The literally believe that life is a Zero-Sum game. That there are winners, and losers. Everyone only cares about themselves, and objects that can benefit them in some way. That includes family. Every single human will take advantage of you, if they can, to benefit themselves. Anyone who says otherwise is deluded, or lying. Any act of generosity or altruism is a strategy to benefit yourself, in admiration, or profit. The Russian culture openly accepts this. Everyone, EVERYONE, is working an angle. If you fall for it, you deserve what you get.
They literally believe this Social Darwinist nihilism, and believe anyone who doesn’t is stupid, or weak, and deserves to be dominated. They are incapable of true empathy, and think it is weakness.
The definition of True Evil.
Pokemon trainer NPC
That got me fired up!!!
Great, another 26 year old that stumbled into wealth and thinks that makes him an authority.
Like those 20 something “executive coaches” fresh out of school I always seem to stumble upon on LinkedIn. They think they are incredible, but in reality they are only incredible in the literal sense.
They’re in the Cult of Mammon. And most are too stupid to realize they literally worship wealth.
Collin really gives off that “I kill small animals to feel alive” vibe.
