    Making a contract with a person to do a job A and forcing him to do A+B without compensation is exploitation and breach of contract. Making a person do A+B without compensation, making him think it’s his idea and making him feel good and accomplished is a brilliant piece of managership.

      minimum wage keeps people “hungry” and working for more, something better all their lives. same way you train dogs, start with kibble as treats, so they’re always looking for higher value treats as “rewards”, easier to train and control.

      my dog gets duck wrapped sweet potatoes, much harder to train this way, but I feel good giving her better treats. and she loves them

    He’ll be laid off in 2 weeks for asking for a raise, as workers should be there for the love of their job and not the paycheck, per the capitalist owner who would drown a bus full of orphans if it lowered their tax bill.

      We once had a remote town hall meeting for our department, and the VP had asked everyone if they had any questions about anything. My close coworker had asked about raises and a few other things since it was the start of not getting yearly raises anymore. The VP answered appropriately (not give any answers and change the subject). Later that day my coworker told us he was pulled into his bosses office and questioned about why he did that and if he was trying to put our VP in an uncomfortable position. So the ask any questions part was just a formality, and I guess not to be taken seriously…

    But here’s a pizza party for the crew! Be sure to only have one slice so there’s enough to go around.

    I assume he’s not talking about mesothelioma then.

    Because if you or a loved one have been diagnosed with mesothelioma, you may be entitled to financial compensation.
