“I live in a poor and war-torn country so I will work for a low wage even while my home might be bombes”
Captialist nut jobs: “So dedicated!”
I swear, if it was legal to execute employees they would do it everyday because “that’s what it means to be a good CEO” or some shit
They’d sell their organs first.
“Today is mandatory skin, bone marrow, and liver donation day. There might be pizza. Employees with moret han one kidney have to refer to HR.”
If I post in slack that my family was almost killed and the CEO responds with “this is getting me fired up!!” I will absolutely leak admin credentials and let that bitch get hacked. Kinder and gentler than choking a mf
I saw that disgusting comment at the bottom. He is a caricature businessman from a Verhoeven movie. We’ve reached what was supposed to be over-the-top satire.
If Verhoeven put this in a movie people would be like “that’s a little much” these people are disturbing
I would hack the next incoming drone and target it at the CEO.
No, you won’t.
Them: If this thing happens to me that most likely will not happen to me, I’ll do this thing.
You: No, you won’t.
You see what that shit looks like? Congratulations Cletus, you’ve spoken the obvious about a hypothetical. No I won’t be shooting the people responsible for destroying the planet, thanks for reminding me.
Because it’s so important that you physically sit here in the office, we’re replacing you with people on the other side of the planet.
Bonus points if your company mandates return to office, lays off people after they return to office, and then builds a nice new office overseas in a completely opposite timezone to fill with replacements. Then make the people there physically sit in that brand new office… and make them report to the people here.
The job? Data entry.
I just… I don’t… Why…
Something something a lot of people falling for talking points put forward by people invested in commercial real estate because if companies start going fully remote the value of commercial real estate will collapse. Combine that with a mix of people who own these companies also being invested in commercial real estate so it’s self serving and companies just in general wanting to have more control over employees.
This has to be satire. Please, someone tell me it’s satire.
It has to be.
Point one says come back to the office, indicating they don’t like remote work.
Point two says hire people to work remotely.
I’d like to believe you, but that could just be hypocrisy and cognitive dissonance.
Do something to differentiate yourself, accept a pay level like you live in a war torn country
Yeah, we need more of the “I’m so desperate I have to keep working even though my town is being shelled” mentality here in the United States of Freedom! That’s the dream our forefathers fought for!
This guy rents out storage boxes and thinks he’s some sort of business genius LOL.
His ego is larger than his penis size.
I’ll bet $50 this “CEO” has very few “employees.” Maybe just one. Which makes the screenshot message even sadder.
OK yeah. He is a recent grad from Dartmouth and his company markets exclusively to college students and boasts $500,000 in sales.
This might sound like a lot but it’s not enough to have many employees. He’s essentially a self-employed
kidyoung man acting as the sole managing member of a disregarded entity and his “Pakistani employee” is likely a 1099 gig-worker, not a w2 employee.So, big grain of salt here. It’s a
kidyoung man cosplaying as a big-shot CEO on social media. Maybe don’t luigi this one until he’s had the chance to actually be a colossal piece of shit.Edit: trying to learn not to call young adults kids, even when they totally look or act like one
Receiving a message like that from an employee and responding with anything other than encouragement to do whatever they need to keep themselves safe makes you a colossal piece of shit.
It is common for children to lack global perspective and we don’t smother them in their cribs. It is common for that immaturity to persist into adulthood and we still don’t murder those people for their naïveté. It takes some people longer to learn their lessons. Killing them before they’ve learned them is an unforgivable mistake.
I didn’t say anything about doing violence to him. I just said he was a piece of shit.
Then I’ll rephrase. But there are a lot of comments in this thread suggesting we murder him, which would not be a punishment fitting the crime.
Edit: trying to learn not to call young adults kids, even when they totally look or act like one
Meh. Act’s like a kid, is likely a kid.

This is admirable, I could do better about that myself.
likely a 1099 gig-worker, not a w2 employee
I’m not familiar, but those both sound like visas for foreign workers? From the original post, I don’t think the developer is living in a western country. I think it’s outsourced to a Pakistani living in Pakistan.
Just the tax forms. I should’ve said [sub-] contractor instead of 1099 sorry. Calling a contractor an employee publicly on social media is a hilarious way to owe back taxes but he has no experience with that yet. He just started and thinks he knows everything.
They are tax forms, a W2 is an employee (basically) and a 1099 (usually -NEC) is a contractor.
Fun story on that subject! When I was a kid my dad briefly worked for a online shopping company and when he was laid off he filed for unemployment. Upon filing for unemployment he learned he was misclassified as a independent contractor and became the center of a lawsuit between the DOL and his old employer. He ultimately got unemployment benefits and a severance btw
Yeah it’s a fairly common exploit that you can’t really get away with long term because of stuff like this. If your employee still thinks they’re an employee, they will assume they have the rights of an employee, and the DOL and IRS might be inclined to agree.
International gig workers are generally safe from misclassification. The companies they work through usually handle most of the paperwork and give you a subcontractor agreement. As far as the government is concerned they’re the same category as temps, which is fine, but obviously you still should avoid calling them “employee” on a public social media page just to make your company sound more successful than it is.
Those are just tax code for employee/self employed contractor
I have said this in another post, Western employers love to hire non-Western immigrants because non-Western cultures are still traditional and conditioned to obey authority and hierarchy, and to value work more. And more importantly, this results in a less class conscious population, so non-Westerners are less likely to complain and unionise than their Western counterparts. While the minimum wage in most Western countries is peanuts these days when one considers the worsening cost of living, immigrants think Western minimum wage is CEO-level salary when compared to their home country’s basic pay, and thus don’t complain for being overworked for little pay by Western standards. Needless to say, Western companies exploit non-Westerners because the latter don’t know better.
That may be true, but that’s not what’s happening here.
What’s happening is that person is so desperate for any income in a place that is an active war zone to support their family. Earning more money than they ever could there, where there in literally no income.
Fuck, I hate American MBA culture.
I don’t disagree. Economic predicament is also exploited by capital owners to exploit workers no matter the race and ethnicity.
Collin really gives off that “I kill small animals to feel alive” vibe.
I vote for sending drones to american ceos, I’m sure they will “give a shit” afterwards and be more motivated on the workplace. 📈 /s
CEO is just a regime whore tbh
i thought he was going to say something like “I got this message, look how horrifying our foreign policy is and how it affects random innocent people” but he just instead decided to go “hey wanna exploit some labor overseas for cheap? consider hiring someone currently getting carpet bombed; it’s so lucrative!” fucking psycho
Pokemon trainer NPC
That got me fired up!!!
This guys job ‘title’ is an automatic block for me, dawg.
He probably went to School of life.
This definitely meets the Lunatic level.
This is the corporate behavior Libertarians never want to discuss. Their Elysium where corporations treat everyone well and don’t destroy things out of some unforced understanding that to do so would place them at a major disadvantage is a farce. There will always be disparity, and corporations will leverage that to pay the poorer less than the better off, dump waste where there are no rules, and drive people to keep working while bombs fall near their homes.
No Libertarians have that philosophy.
Their philosophy is “No one should stand in my way to make profit, and I should never have to spend one cent on anything I don’t want to.”
Libertarians are hardcore Republicans who are smart enough to not state they are Republicans. They are True Believer Objectivists, and there is nothing admirable about them.
