“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
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’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 kid young 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 kid young 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
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.
They are tax forms, a W2 is an employee (basically) and a 1099 (usually -NEC) is a contractor.
There was a time when there was 1 working person that could support a family, buy a house, buy a car, and save for their retirement… and often save for their children’s education. I don’t know who is to blame. All I know is there are now oligarchs. 2 working adults have trouble paying bills. Many are stuck in an endless payday to payday cycle just to pay their rent and expenses. Oh! But wait a minute…Trump is offering $5000 to families to have a baby! No health care, no maternity leave. But $5000. These SOBs are so out of touch!
That time was super short, happened only in a few selected countries and is an anomaly blip in the history of the world. And even if you think that your life is noticeably worse today, you’re still far far better off than the majority of the population today and throughout history.
As for why this time has ended: humans have a need to live in a need. Otherwise they become bored and destroy everything they have. Again, that state of life is not normal, humans cannot live like that, we’re not adapted to such conditions.
Indigenous people were living all over the world very well, until the Europeans invaded their space, and their world. Hawaiians were the epitome of peace and tranquility. And then the Europeans came…
