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.

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.

Someone should fire this guy. Out of a cannon. Into the sun.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 week ago

Just set him on fire here, no need to launch a rocket with all the pollution that will create.

End result is extra crispy lunatic either way.

CEO: Working in office is good Also CEO: Hiring offshore is also good

???

[–] [email protected] 75 points 1 week ago

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 57 points 1 week 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 1 week 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?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

They have a Zero-Sum ideology.

The literally believe that life is a Zero-Sum game. That there are winners, and losers. Everyone only cares about themselves, and objects that can benefit them in some way. That includes family. Every single human will take advantage of you, if they can, to benefit themselves. Anyone who says otherwise is deluded, or lying. Any act of generosity or altruism is a strategy to benefit yourself, in admiration, or profit. The Russian culture openly accepts this. Everyone, EVERYONE, is working an angle. If you fall for it, you deserve what you get.

They literally believe this Social Darwinist nihilism, and believe anyone who doesn't is stupid, or weak, and deserves to be dominated. They are incapable of true empathy, and think it is weakness.

The definition of True Evil.

No, I get it. He reminds the bosses of their kids who they're ignoring. He tells them what they want to hear so they can pretend their kids love them.

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.

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.

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

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.

Nice job dude. How did your wife take it after they fired you for being human?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

With flowers, wine, and by candlelight. Not that it's any of your business.

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 have been in tech for almost thirty years and this August will mark the 20th anniversary of the company I started.

In my experience, there are two predominant types of tech exec. On the one hand you have the folk who invest in "human capital", which makes it sound awful but it is meant as a way to acknowledge that your workforce is your main asset, not a liability to be trimmed for cost savings. The other are douchebags like this guy who start and run companies putting out sub par garbage on the cheap. Some of these companies do business at a loss, just so they can show an active book of business so they cam borrow even more money. They are rarely profitable and produce nothing of value...but they do love to circle jerk each other to no end.

Keep running through those walls my guy, don’t let your dreams be memes.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 week ago

"makes me want to run through a wall" is an interesting way to say you are turgid

[–] marine_mustang 30 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Hahahaha, yeah, hiring overseas is a great way to skimp on payroll. In my experience, it’s also a great way to skimp on quality, effectiveness, and sanity. We just got rid of one guy who, immediately after hiring, asked for an RTO exemption for a newborn child; fine, it was granted. When that expired, still refused. Was counseled on it and their low quality of work. Then tried having someone else attend their meetings, was called on it, and resigned. Pretty sure they were trying to subcontract their job to work multiple full-time jobs.

Seeing more and more of this domestically.

People are recognizing that their relationship with their employer is exploitative and are trying to return that energy.

I've worked with a few people recently that clearly were holding multiple jobs or were much more focussed on their side hustle.

Symptom of a bigger issue in my opinion.

Could it have been Jesus that said "Those who live by the free market shall die by the free market?"

I like how his expression of inspiration / passion is destructive (running through a wall). It's very on brand.

i would not be able to work in an environment where any colleagues fellate the exploitative bullshit corpo "leadership" with such fervor

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

Then you need to find a career with a skill where you can be self employed.

I'm not being a smart ass.
