companies are merely a tool for extracting wealth. it's not a family. it has no emotions. it doesn't care about you, because it's a tool. so leverage it accordingly.
this doesn't mean you have to be nasty with people or unpleasant in any way.
- fossuser 6y agoWealth can be created - the best companies create wealth and everyone gets a share. In that environment being petty over things like demanding a company pay for your WFH office just comes across poorly (imo). I wouldn't want to work with someone going on about that. I personally find it tedious to work with colleagues that complain about things like that. Good companies do care about their employees, because doing so enables the company to retain good people.
- mLuby 6y agoCompanies are like functions, and the input is labor. Some are hyper-optimized functions that multiply the labor a million-fold. Others are bloated functions with hideous time complexity, barely producing enough value to justify their existence. But what they all share is an absolute reliance on labor. No labor in, no value out. People care about their employees and co-workers; companies cannot.
