Unions are the only way to protect workers. The wealth extraction class only cares about numbers. Collective action can threaten their bottom line and force them to the negotiating table.
Adding this to my list of reasons why I don’t give “110%”
I always give 100% at work:
- Monday: 10%
- Tuesday: 20%
- Wednesday: 30%
- Thursday: 20%
- Friday: 20%
Generous Friday
That’s the before lunch average…subject could not be found for evaluation after lunch.
god I miss going for a pub lunch on fridays
Have to make up 100 somehow. All numbers are just approximations, of course.
What? The guy who fired people who slept in their offices at Twitter fired more people who were sacrificing their personal lives for one of his companies?
Ya don’t say.
I hear masochistic genocidal overlord is much nicer once you get to know him. You just have to look past all the masochism and genocide, to see the fluffy teddy bear inside.
I hear masochistic genocidal overlord
I think you mean sadistic.
Tesla is a massively overvalued stock and has been for a long time. When they announced their recent dire sales, the share price actually rebounded because the clown Mush spouted his usual nonsense about the real value in the company - self drive and robo-taxis - but it’s been widely reported for some time that the companies tech is a dud because Musk decided to remove all the expensive components that actually make the technology work. They lost their first-move advantage; their competitors have caught up and surpassed them both on EVs and self-drive tech.
The guy is a joke, the company is a joke.
That new Chevy RST looking pretty badass, it isn’t just marginally better than a Cybertruck, it’s objectively superior in nearly every aspect that it can be superior.
Does it make you look like as much of a douche?
No joke, a cybertruck passed me on the road during my drive home today, and it’s even stupider looking in person than in pictures and videos. I laughed out loud at the genius who paid actual money for it.
I saw my first one in the wild this morning in Dallas. Holy fuck is that a fugly-ass vehicle, and the dude driving it looked like a pretentious twunt.
My cousin said someone in her neighborhood has one. They live in a pretty rural area.
This is all I can think about when I see them
A good pinewood derby car has looks nothing like a Cybertruck. You want the weight in the back for maximum potential energy
It’s massive like all full size trucks now, otherwise just a matter of opinion on the style. I think the ford lightning looks a lot better but they’re both useful as backup power cells for a house and have pretty good range.
Why bother living.
I guess maybe if the extreme overwork overtime is a means to an end by getting money, retire early, get experience to find a more reasonable job… I guess maybe some can justify it. Maybe. There’s probably some who feel forced due to desperate circumstances.
Idk. I hate this overworked overtime culture.
Yeah I just was forced to quit after putting in 10 hours a day for 5+ years at a company. It caused health problems and is definitely not worth it. Put the extra time into YOUR OWN projects instead of someone else’s.
Why are we still surprised by stories like these? Post pandemic tech layoffs are not performance based. The tech industry has decided that less employees is better than more employees and they’re laying off entire departments.
Tesla isn’t a tech company.
It’s business model is indistinguishable from other Silicon Valley based tech companies, riding hype cycles of disrupting XYZ industry with its incredible new tech thats definitely only a year or 2 away. It’s a tech company.
Except that the manufacture shitty products. Manufacturing something makes them not operate like a tech company, which is why Elon is desperate for people to repeat that they’re a tech company. You’re doing his work for him.
Eh, tech companies also push out shitty stuff, and sometimes the shitty stuff is hardware.
The Box III Signature Edition.
Oh my god, the signature with the cock and balls in it 🤣
The difference is that “tech” companies can produce more of their software with minimal or no additional cost. This is why their values tend to be higher than traditional companies manufacturing things. Tesla can’t do that. Their revenue is their shitty cars, without them there’s nothing to run their shitty non-working software on.
Apple almost exclusively ships their software with their hardware. They’re still a tech company.
I see the point you’re making, and it isn’t a terrible one. But the thing is, Tesla isn’t valued like a car company. They’ve enjoyed a market cap at times greater than VAG and Toyota, the largest automakers, who ship orders of magnitude more cars than Tesla does. Tesla’s value has not been in its manufacturing capability but in its position in the market.
(That is likely to change going forward, as other automakers are catching up in the EV world and Musk has alienated Tesla’s core audience.)
Tesla isn’t valued like a car company.
The market being stupid doesn’t change the fact that they are a manufacturing company. The fact that they can convince people to repeat this nonsense is how they keep the market stupid. Keeping the market stupid is how they continue pumping cash to stay afloat.
They put wheels on an i-phone
iPhone actually works. Also, which generation iPhone weighs two tons?
The iPhone 2T of course 😁
When you work for a snake expect to be bitten.
Mmm yeah, that sweet sweet grind culture
Surely you’ll be a billionaire too some day, if you only play doormat to the owner class hard enough.
- The employee right now.How many times has some fool slept on the job for that asshat only to be given the old heave ho.
It’s probably because he’s a kiss ass and smells like sauerkraut from not baving
Anyone not seeing the writing on the wall, or in some cases in large print on front pages of papers, in relation to this dude deserves to be fired.
