Why is this in shitpost it’s true
I wasn’t sure where to put it. Wanted to put it in memes, but didn’t relish the inevitable “it’s not a meme” comments, so this seemed like the best fit.
It’s NOT my OC and I encourage you to crosspost as you wish. 🙂
Kinda. Billionaires don’t usually have a checking account with a few billion in it because they took it from a company’s profit instead of giving it to payroll.
Their net worth is largely in non-liquid assets like stocks and real estate.
Man I am so sick of people explaining this as if people don’t understand the concept of wealth as oppose to liquid assets. The argument still stands and it just serves to derail the point of whether billionaires should exist or not, and usually it’s used for tax evasion purposes and is entirely moot to the point anyway.
Isnt this a contradiction?
They earned a billion USD by underpaying you, but they still earned the money
I think this post is missing a “fairly” or something similar
They obtained it. They didn’t earn it.
Then negotiate. Stop fingerpointing.
Step 1: Figure it out.
Step 1.5: Spread the word.
Step 2: Negotiate.
Spread the word and they’ll try to get rid of you. Negotiate for yourself. Not everyone is worth more and some people actually prefer to stay on government subsidies like SNAP, and HEAP.
Negotiation almost de facto requires group effort, or a union. The only time negotiation works outside of that is edge cases.
Unions only help themselves. If you failed at negotiating; you over value yourself.
Unions only help themselves.
That’s utter bullshit.

They lead to higher wages, job security, better benefits, and better PTO/sick days. In every respect, in general, a union job is better for the worker than a non union job.
They lead to higher wages
They lead to companies being forced to keep horrible employees that cost them money and pay them more than they’d otherwise need to. You could have negotiated better pay for yourself, but you want to keep leech employees around. They also can cause the closure of businesses (the opposite of job security). Sick time shouldn’t be a thing. No one should be incentivized to call in sick, and that costs the company money which again comes out of what you could have negotiated for yourself.
Posting a bunch of union propaganda doesn’t change the fact that they only serve themselves.

I don’t care.
and pay them more than they’d otherwise need to.
Good, that’s the fucking point.
You could have negotiated better pay for yourself
You can’t, which is why unions have higher pay.

Are you a troll, or are you genuinely this backwards?

My dude, this is all of the sources showing that they’re better jobs. It’s the government, corporate media, scientific research, all coming to the same conclusion. It ain’t propaganda.
Hey now, that’s not fair!
The owners don’t “earn” shit.
They lay down their chips from their last trip to the exploitation casino, and take.
Leeches that don’t do shit.
I don’t think most people begrudge owners a reasonable profit, especially if they’re running things and taking an active role in the business and pay their workers well. It’s not unreasonable to have some cash squirrelled away for the business having hard times either.
For me the issue is megacorps who exploit workers shaving working conditions and benefits until it’s bare bones, expecting more work from fewer people at higher quality, paying the bare minimum after being lucky enough to be the first to market with some idea so they’re in a completely dominant position and making billions.
Is this a shitpost community or another ihatemoresuccessfulpeople lunatics group?
Good of you to take a break from licking corporates shoes to post this.
Oh, you are so rebellious. What are you, 15?
Oh no, I’m so wounded lol. You have a lot of maturing to do before that kind of insult has any kind of meaning behind. Come on, corporate isn’t going to notice you if you don’t try harder than that.
The classic “I don’t care about you so much that I keep engaging in the conversation to prove you that I don’t care about you”.
My man, what are you doing. We all dislike billionaires because the amount of money is not feasible to earn via honest wage work(<500k a year) in your lifetime.
They ain’t successful, they cheat. (In a usually permitted form)
My man, what are you doing.
I’m complaining about irrelevant content. These posts don’t fix the problem, they aren’t funny either. This is just an echo chamber repeating the same sound over and over again. There are other communities for that.
repeating the same sound over and over
Or in other words, a shit post.
A shitpost is purposely wrong, surprising or both.
This is neither. So keep it in other c’s otherwise, why would we even have different communities?
A shitposting community isn’t the sort of place that needs gatekeeping.
Go back to your billionaire pickme group, then.
Go on, shoo. Shoo
Go back to your fifth job, loser.
