Oh wow just switch employers, is that all
Beyond that, you missed my point. Even if I were being paid more, I still wouldn't have any incentive to make myself dispensable. Unless I'm vested in the company profits, then the profits don't matter to me.
Lmao fuck integrity I'm trying to make rent
It's not like the company has any integrity in their dealings, like when they lay off entire departments with no notice. One of my current coworkers worked for Dell for 17 years before being laid off. According to you, if she were confident in her abilities, she shouldn't have worried.
Companies don't care about integrity. They don't care about people. All companies would replace you with someone cheaper if they could. Why should we care about them?
Then they should pay me based on that—giving me partial ownership, for example, would incentivize me to do better for the company. As it stands, I get paid the same no matter how the company is doing. I only have an incentive not to get fired... which is easier if I'm indispensable.
Capitalism offers a perverse incentive in this regard. I have no motive to keep the company healthy, only to get paid. Ensuring I can be replaced benefits the company while harming me.
This is the most devastating insult I've ever read
If only. Things would go a little different.
No, my point is that unless you're day trading, chances are you just use an index fund and have virtually no control over what you're investing in.
Yeah as much as I'd like to hate on the American justice system this is a nothingburger. My retirement account probably has Boeing in it too considering I set it to buy the S&P 500 and never thought about it again.
Trump's foreign policy is less hawkish than Kamala's, somehow. I genuinely don't see how she's an improvement if she'll start a war in Iran, which she seems frothing at the mouth to do given her comments about having the world's most lethal military and criticizing Trump for not taking a harder stance on them.
Of course, if the reader isn't familiar, it's completely opaque.
That's literally exactly how voting works. You can't put an asterisk on your vote. An exuberant, wholehearted vote counts exactly the same as one where you feel dirty for a week after.
What do you call it when you have an alliance that will defend you from the repercussions of your illegal actions, as NATO would have shielded France from any Libyan counterattack?
At 400F it would no longer be a chicken but a pile of glowing cinders. A chicken is cooked at 165F.
