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.

"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."

This has to be satire. Please, someone tell me it's satire.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 days ago (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

Do something to differentiate yourself, accept a pay level like you live in a war torn country

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

If Verhoeven put this in a movie people would be like “that’s a little much” these people are disturbing

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 days ago

I would hack the next incoming drone and target it at the CEO.

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.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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...

The disconnect from reality here is just mind blowing. Dude needs to go overseas and witness how utterly terrifying a threat on your life you have no control over actually is. Sidenote: punchable face.

[–] [email protected] 118 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Yeah actually mental.

What he calls 'dedication' is actually fear at having to hold your job down during the middle of a fucking WAR because if you disappoint your corporate overlords you will be both getting missiles rained on you AND unable to support your family.

It's desperation, and desperation which is very intentionally baked into the system so dickhead 'leaders' like these can get the slaves they are looking for and label that slavery as a 'positive work ethic'

So out of touch with real people.

Silly domestic remote employees want a livable wage and are less tolerant to being paid less because they don't live in an overpriced area.

I’ll bet $50 this “CEO” has very few “employees.” Maybe just one. Which makes the screenshot message even sadder.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (9 children)

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 ~~kid~~ young 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 ~~kid~~ young 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

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 days ago (3 children)

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.

"Returning to the office" is such a gross phrase. Get fucked.

[–] [email protected] 56 points 3 days ago

Isn't it. It has a strange implication as though being in the office is the proper place and one day we all just forgot to be there.

[–] [email protected] 47 points 3 days ago (3 children)

My employer has stooped so low as to call it "return to work". Like, what the fuck have I been doing the past 5 years!?

I'm currently in the final round of interviews for a new employer. I don't expect that they will be nearly different, but at least they will pay more.

The reason they are cheap and dedicated is because they are desperate, living in a country where if they didn't have this job they would literally be starving and in poverty.

So CEOs like this are simply capitalizing on their desperation to save money from hiring domestic workers who have a better safety net. Absolutely disgusting pieces of trash.

Also why does this guy who looks like a 19 year old frat boy believe anyone should listen to his advice?

Great, another 26 year old that stumbled into wealth and thinks that makes him an authority.

Like those 20 something "executive coaches" fresh out of school I always seem to stumble upon on LinkedIn. They think they are incredible, but in reality they are only incredible in the literal sense.

Yeah, when you're easily replaceable and need the job, you tend to work yourself to death. It's really hard to get a tech job in India, and I assume the same is true for Pakistan.

So yeah, dude has no EQ.

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.

If Americans would just socialize in real life and stop using these companies, then they wouldn't get ad revenue and they would go away. I block all fucking ads. I have contingencies. I VPN all the fucking time. I lie about my telemetry. I have a recursive DNS server. I mean I do everything I can. The internet has become walled gardens and hostile towards working people. It is a front in the class war. Some people are just late to show up to the party. I use my Boomer mother who's too stubborn to adopt my methods and also probably doesn't have the cognitive abilities as my control group. Being a pessimist and not trying is you locking yourself up in your own chains. My mom's phone rings off the hook daily. While mine rings about once a week. we use the same phone. Two phones, same model phone. I do not use Facebook because I'm not a beta cuck or any of these things. I do not use Twitter. I do not use Reddit. I do not use GitHub. I don't use any of these fucking things. If I had a job that required these services, I would create a computer that was just for work, and I would take the battery out of it when I got home. I would never connect it to my own internet. You pay for something and then they milk you. Now tell me how does that make sense? The problem with America is a nation of uber-cucks. This is war! At the end of the day, if it gets worse than this, I am willing to smash every computer I have. But I don't need to do that, because I don't have Windows Management System. I don't use Mac. core boot baby. If you want a future worth living for, then try harder. The last thing you want to do is bring work home. I will return to the office and I would hope the workers that I worked with wanted to have a union. I don't shit where I eat.

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

I was managing a project with contractors in Ukraine when the war broke out. They had some equipment of ours on loan for around 10.000 euros. While I was handling their employees suddenly scattering all over Europe, my upper management wanted me to ask them to keep our equipment safe. I told my management to get fucked. Luckily they understood how insensitive they were being.

I continued the project, we even paid our invoices earlier to help them out. The company was so grateful. Later in that project, my coworker who is originally from Iran expressed his sympathies when Iranian drones were raining down on Ukraine, how he was ashamed his country was doing this. What a moment

This is the most monstrous human being I’ve witnessed here. There is something fundamentally broken in him, and I’m terrified that this diseased thought process will spread through speech. I pray it’s genetic, and therefore quarantinable.

I’ve managed people in India before - not to save money but to handle overnight tickets - and to me they work too hard.

One of my reports was affected by some pretty significant flooding and asked if maybe they could have a day off.

I told them to not worry about work until their house was no longer filled with mud and water.
