Apart from Spez and Musk, what other examples are there?

[โ€“] panopticchaos 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Those are probably the highest profile examples.

Everything else is way smaller scale, and often more about the tone than even what is being said. There's a general "how dare anyone push back" or a complete failure to understand what life is like (some of this overlaps with the "ok boomer" stuff).

I'd point to:

  • Martha Stewart's rant about RTO
  • Many many of the "nobody wants to work anymore" rants we've seen
  • The tenor of Starbuck's anti-union actions
  • The communications I've seen from my (large) company and those at friends' (obviously not going to list which)

It's not like I've been keeping a list but those are what come to mind first.

Probably it's all linked to the post-virus epiphanies about working conditions that have lead to things like the great resignation, the concept of quiet quitting (which is a bullshit term for me) and in general a bigger conscience of how work affects life
