It might be surprising to many but there is a life outside of the office...

Yes but most people work at least eight hours a day each weekday (Monday through Friday) and it’s incredibly painful for those that don’t want to waste 40 hours a week of their life to have to deal with people that do the absolute bare minimum to get by at work. If people don’t like the job they’re doing; they should quit and find something else to do.

  > to have to deal with people that do the absolute bare minimum to get by at work. Not my problem We designed a system that's actively hostile to life and well being to profit the top 0.1% No contract states you have to give your best, and there is no way for anyone to enforce that anyways

    I never said it was your problem. That was the whole point of my post. It’s a problem for people that don’t want to waste eight hours a day, that want those hours to be meaningful and work with other motivated people.

      What is funny is that in my insides I'm 100% sure the type of people that spout that crap about "not my problem" and fuck their co-workers are the ones that would act the most dictator-like and dystopian-capitalists if given the chance. They just reveal their true way of thinking- the fact they chose "the worker" cause they have no power doesn't mean they wouldn't flip if they had power. Imagine acting in the most anti-communal way while thinking you have a moral high ground and fuck the little guys around you because you think you're sticking it to the man.

      this is exactly what companies going through mass layoffs while distributing record dividends are doing.

        Behaving like a sheep won't change their behavior tho. What's the point of leaving only them the option to abuse?

        If you want to be abused feel free to go ahead no one will stop you. I hope you're confident with your choices because death bed regrets don't sound like fun, especially when it comes to grinding for big brother

        One party is a multinational megacorp with billions of dollars and the other party is a worker. Whether the worker does a "wrong" or a "right" or is even exceptional at doing "right"s, their behavior will never invite more favor from the megacorp, as evidenced by the many layoffs at many megacorps over the last 4 years.

  And that is 8 hours a day. 12 hours long shifts are extremely common around here, with only 1 weekend free in a month. Sure, office jobs are mostly 8 hours long, but the rest are 12 hours, and there is a LOT of those kind of jobs. Overtime hours are typically not paid either.

Why would you not want to do meaningful things instead of work for a huge corporation, even if you think you're "sticking it" to them? Why not give it your full effort and work with good people you respect?
