A pay cut, they should take a large pay cut. And do a proportional layoff at the executive level. How is that hard to understand?
What do you gain by defending execs by reducing their criticism to absurd?
- Kiro 4y agoEven when they do exactly that (e.g. Zoom whose CEO took a 98% pay cut) you guys are not happy, calling it a symbolic gesture or even propaganda unless they also give up all their equity. What do you gain by demonizing execs like they are not even human?
- kubb 4y agoYou're claiming that you know my position on the Zoom CEO, which I didn't state AND insinuating that I'm demonizing executives? Are you a troll?

- ohgodplsno 4y agoHatred of multimillionaires coming from generational wealth and being patterns of social reproduction is a healthy habit to take. They should indeed be bullied into humiliation. Especially when they go with a fake, pretend-heartfelt apology and saying they're "taking reponsibility" while trying to pull a veil over everyone's eyes. They lost nothing, they took no risk.
- robertlagrant 4y agoThis is a horrible take. Do you know if they are rich, and how they got rich? And why would you demonise the children of people who went from nothing to doing really well?
- ohgodplsno 4y agoThis is a take that can save our society and species and prevents us from going into a new kind of serfdom. Make no mistake: they do not care about you, and they will not be on your side the day shit inevitably hits the fan. For your well being, and the future of your children, you would do well to consider them as the leeches on society that they are.
- robertlagrant 4y ago> This is a take that can save our society and species and prevents us from going into a new kind of serfdom No it's not. The replacement for people who are rich due to them (or their parents) having created a load of value is not some imagined utopia. It's people who are rich due to having taken it in the name of utopia. Rich people aren't a problem, or even the sign of a problem. If people get rich through exploiting power (e.g. government power) then that's a problem. > Make no mistake: they do not care about you, and they will not be on your side the day shit inevitably hits the fan. That's because they're people. I don't think anyone in particular cares about me other than a few people I know. Why should they?
- comboy 4y agoI'm sorry if I'm being ignorant and I undestand that especially for minimum wage workers layoffs are a tragedy. But working in tech, you want to work among the best people. So how can you improve quality of teams without laying off those who are worst performing? This is sincere question, laying off people one by one seem to be creating more drama and psychological baggage for those fired. Of course I don't know how good are corpos at deciding who's contributing the least. Probably pretty bad. But that to me is a completely separate story.
