Is this supposed to be serious or is the term "bro" used so heavily to criticize/call simplistic their take on it?

It's a parody of an ancient meme (knowyourmeme link) where in the original, the rant above is instead "That's my world without you bro."

Also not that it justifies the pay disparity but do people really think there is zero labor involved in management? Cause even then, it comes with a crapton of liability risk under respondeat superior. Not sure everyone wants to be personally sued for every negligent mistake their coworkers make.

Thank you and exactly. I think most people who think managers do no work actually just don't understand managers' jobs (and how much work some people are to manage lol).

The employees who don’t understand managers’ jobs are the ones who are making the managers’ jobs hard.

Doesn't seem to be like it's trying to be 100% accurate but the underlying message it tries to convey is probably serious (that there's a class of people who mostly make money because they have money to own things).

Ah makes sense. As someone deeply and unfortunately entrenched in middle management, I never think of "boss" and "owner" being the same person, and I know for a fact that my boss is working hard as hell lol

Also technically in a management position, but 90% of my work is what I was doing before the promotion and its not that I'm doing less of that stuff (I'm doing more of it). I just have extra responsibilities like more emails and making sure we have supplies. I hope people don't really think of me as a "boss." Given its a small company, my boss is the owner and all the workers were interviewed, hired by, and regularly interact with said person. But I know no one at my job would accuse me of not doing any work.

Sounds exactly like my (and most managers') situation(s). Oh, work...

It's part of the meme template

It does have "stoner revelation" vibes.
