>Biting off the hand that feeds them.
You forgot to mention that the hand doing the feeding is attached to a body with another arm that’s picking the hungry masses pockets.
- systemvoltage 4y agoCan you give an example of that? How are big corporations ruining your life? What has TSMC or IBM has done to you? Where is the coercion and use of force?
- Aloha 4y agoI know someone who works for IBM, his healthcare costs more in real dollars than it did when he hired on, he gets at best infrequent raises and there's no more pension plan.
- systemvoltage 4y agoHow is that ruining his life though? Why didn't you account for the fact that IBM provided for his family for years? They are welcome to leave, we are not practicing slavery and the best part of at-will hiring is that you can fire your employer and find another job.
- Red_Leaves_Flyy 4y agoDon’t know much about Tsmc. IBM is a rather terrible company though, between their incessant illegal discrimination, mass layoffs, near criminal monopolist behavior, etc. look at any large publicly traded company and the piles of skeletons behind them are shocking. you’ve shifted the goal posts from companies picking pockets (taking unwarranted profit, or worse) to making ruining lives. This isn’ta gotcha though, the state of capitalism is abysmal when we actually consider the crimes against humanity these corporations get away with every second of every day for the past hundred odd years.
