‘time theft’
Right. Treating human beings like robots where any ineffeciancy or time taken to not focus on corporate overlords is bad.
Fuck 'em.
Wage theft is the largest property crime in the US but the state don’t care and parasite will do it if you let them.
Never give a parasite more than what was paid for
And current wages, it ain’t much and hence I shit on company time
“Nearly half of US employees admit to time theft!”
Nah, it’s the other way around. Company profits of any kind are wage theft.
I mean a company does need to make profit. Excessive profits is another thing.
Nope, any profits not reinvested in the company itself, or the employees is wage theft. Full stop. Capitalism is a scam we’ve been fed so rich assholes can get richer.
I think it’s a bit unfair to blanket statement that capitalism is a scam. There need to be checks in place. Like, I agree it’s not fair that me as a business owner can simply say “this year we are skipping raises, and I am paying myself 2 billion”. There’s no reason any one person needs a trillion dollars. That’s an insane amount of money. Even 100 million is a shit ton of money. There definitely need to be checks in place, but I don’t think communism is the answer either.
Nope, any profits not reinvested in the company itself
This isn’t clear to me what you’re saying “nope” to. How I said companies need to make profit? If so, they do. If they do not make profit they lose money, if they lose money they can’t reinvest into themselves or pay wages. Or maybe I misunderstand what you meant by “nope”.
No they do not. They need to break even only. Profit is the result of charging customers too much, paying employees too little, or enshitification.
That was dystopian as hell to read.
Late stage capitalism is now turning inward. What a time to be alive.
So, in other words… Big Brother is watching
It results in a lot of performance theater. If being at your desk, key presses, mouse clicks and eye movements are the most important then you can expect a lot of long winded lists, reports and mails. There’ll be people doing thousands of things manually instead of thinking about it and automate things. So much productivity measured and nothing gets done.
People just need to befriend the IT dept. Who do you think is having to run this shit? Easy to bypass with a beer.
