You have to look at the whole compensation package...

No, I don't. I can't feed my family with an EAP program or a 401(k) that will disappear with the next robber baron of Wall st, or a marginally better healthcare. The world still runs on dollars and cents and until we all get our fair share, we need to be coming for these corpo-clowns.

Also anytime a company offers a 'benefit', it's because they're able to make money off of it somehow. i.e. 'unlimited PTO'.

[–] InevitableWaffles@midwest.social 3 points 1 year ago

Absolutely. Those traitors who think they can become owners by grinding hard enough make the world miserable for the rest of us. They don't take PTO so they serve as personal scabs to us who actually enjoy getting away from the office.

What a clown of a website. Just reposting someone else’s content, and they have the balls to ask me to disable my adblocker? Fuck you, you didn’t do any journalism for this story, you don’t deserve any revenue from it.

Here’s the actual content, not just a repost: https://youtu.be/XfSZW8JpxwA?si=Qfpft9O-S80C5dVI

Well they did put the quotes in writing, so I could read them.

I love how he implies multiple times that his own pay increase was 'based on performance', implying that he deserves it because he's done well, when workers' collective performance is literally the metric his performance is measured by.

She, but yes

That's what I get for poorly reading the ad-ridden article. Should have just watched the original video posted in the comments.

My apologies for my poor assumption.

Also, notice her insertion of the claim that 92% of her compensation is based on overall performance, as though to suggest that she lives under precarity, just the same as regular workers.

Yet, I feel reluctant to give her any credit for being clever rhetorically. I clearly sense how comprehensively she is apathetic and out of touch.
