I wonder if this is the right question. No company I know cares about my well-being and safety, except for my employer.
- akkad33 2y agoWhy do you think your employer cares about your well-being and safety?
- robertlagrant 2y agoYou get the point I'm making, right?

- chrsw 2y agoJust hire someone else.
- mrguyorama 2y agoSome fairly bad faith people like to say "Slaves couldn't have been poorly treated, they were an expensive investment, like a grain harvester, and no rational person would damage their own property like that". Except, we have ample evidence that people would beat, rape, murder, fuck around with, starve, and otherwise destroy their "investment" regularly, sometimes because "it will keep the others in line", but plenty often just fucking because. Because humans are not rational. Farmers just doing what they believed would be the most rational to make money was one of the main causes of the Dust Bowl. Your boss is human, and plenty able to do things that make you a LESS effective worker while adamantly believing you are just lazy.

- micromacrofoot 2y agoCompanies are incapable of caring about anything because they're not sentient beings — one of the biggest tricks they've played on us is referring to them as if they are. Sundar Pichai, Tim Cook, Mark Zuckerberg, Shou Chew, Satya Nadella... if you were laying in a ditch on the side of the road they wouldn't even give you the time of day.
- robertlagrant 2y agoDo you agree that it's a silly question to base things on?
- micromacrofoot 2y agoOh certainly, I'm just elaborating that "companies don't X" is part of the scam. Companies don't do anything, the people running them do.
