why does every small bean capitalist have a 5 year olds understanding of the world?
Having sold their souls to capital, they long for the last time they experienced real human connection — thus they retreat into an infantile state of mind, desperately trying to claw back that which they lost.
Or something.
The US education system is not conducive to gaining an adult understanding of the world.
It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his dividends depends upon his not understanding it
Profits are up… Costs are down!
My brother in wages, we ARE the cost!
gross
especially the ones about taking a pay cut and not needing a raise
fuck you, pay me
There’s a pizza place I don’t go to anymore because it has a “joke” sign up that does some bad math to prove no one works enough thus no one deserves days off. Reminds me of this.
I know the sign you’re talking about.
If porky needs me so badly that he would die if a single employee took one unpaid day off, then imagine all the extra cash we can yank out of that pig’s trotters if multiple workers threatened to not go to work unless he parted with some of his precious cash stack.

Can we make Fridays “dress-up” days?

This has to have at least a little irony poisoning to it, right? They can’t be that childish in their expectations without at least a hint of “just joking” cowardice, right?
Sounds like a guy that misses the “good old days” of outright slavery and indentured servitude. Place screams for unionization.
I’d have to deface this sign the minute I saw the “I’d take a pay cut to keep working here” spot. Like, this is why I carry sharpies right next to the folding knife when I leave the house.

Joker-ass named company right there
You’re gonna go home early anyway, so why should I invite you to do it?
The font and style looks like something you’d find in an elementary school classroom where I grew up.
These are always the kind of managers who (unsolicited) tell me I don’t conduct myself appropriately in the workplace, as if they have better social and communication skills.
