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

And your proposed solution is to personally be actively hostile to the well being of those around you for your own benefit?

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

And as they say, two wrongs always makes right.

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.

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

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.

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.
