Either way, I'm still pooping on company time.

OMG That's wage left!!! You should be ashamed! The boss could make more money if you work more like a robot and less like a human being! Heck, if you were an actual robot they wouldn't have to pay you at all! Think of how much the stock price could go up then! Robots don't complain about living wages, require training or form unions, and they don't worry about climate change and ecological collapse! The perfect worker.

And then my company asks us to pitch in 20-50 on the owners birthday to get him some expensive toy he could buy himself without a second thought.

Last year it was an Expensive 3D printer. Meanwhile, raises < inflation...

Google says the average CEO makes $823k, and the average worker makes $74k. That’s only 11x.

The boss makes $1.11, I make a dime…
