Quaint rhyme from better times. Boss is making $34 for my dime today.

[–] [email protected] 67 points 1 year ago

"Boss makes a 20, I make a buck. Now I smoke crack in the company truck"

Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime,

that was a poem from a simpler time.

Boss makes a dollar, we don't make jack,

that's why we fight to take the means back!

Boss makes a million, I make a buck That’s why we steal the catalytic converter off the company truck

i love WFH because i can wake up feeling like shit and log on immediately to start the clock instead of waking up on my own time and giving my peak hours to the capitalists

No commute though so at least you're not crying in the car while stuck in traffic.

Do you really win if capitalism dictates when you should feel / cry?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But they don't dictate it. They win if you cry only when it doesn't affect them

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

They do. The capitalistic grind makes you think it's more worthwhile to cry while making money, rather than cry when you needed to.

If I can be less productive at work and get paid to cry, then that's a double win on the capitalists

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But they get you to cry on their terms. How much is agency worth as a human being - more or less than the hourly wage?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

On their terms? The capitalists don't want you to cry while you're supposed to be working. Crying on their terms would be crying outside of work.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

Yet capitalism is ingrained enough for you to think that's the best option, instead of what you need / want it's whatever that makes you the most money. So it's a win for capitalism in the sense that you are the capitalist first, and human second.

jesus christ, just start a union. unionized companies habe so much better wages. at least where i live.

And have higher standards.

Don't spend money on what you can get for free if you can avoid it.

Crazy seeing people complain about not having enough money while wasting their paychecks on digital entertainment they could be getting for free.

It all adds up.

piracy is not the answer to not getting paid enough. getting paid more is.

Then they'll just raise prices.

My brain does not allow me to schedule convenient sad times

[–] workerONE 6 points 1 year ago

Don't waste your sick days being sick. They're for going to the beach

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Yes! Don't let the capitalist win!

I work weekends so I'll be sad if I want to. My Mondays are pretty chill. All you people who do a single damn thing on the weekend that requires anyone at all to work can shut the hell up about it too.
