A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

I got a 63 cent raise this year too!
while trying to buy a license they claimed i needed a subscription to 365 garbage first. hung up and installed linux.
Remember, he's the real victim here, he had to sign off on all those layoffs, he's going to have to live with that decision...
...in one of his multiple mansions.
He gets paid that much because he's one of the few people on earth who can make those kind of tough choices. The poor guy must be weeping into his caviar.
Our CEO announced layoffs recently and then even more recently sent a follow up email complaining about how people were complaining about it and saying how hard it has been for the executive team. We're a small company and I get the pain they are feeling due to financial constraints but at the end of the day we work for money and they are taking home 3-4x as much as anyone else each month while making all the decisions about how money is spent. It's hard not to become resentful.
3-4x is in the fair region still. Do you think Microsoft employees make 20-30 millions each? (3-4x less than the CEO)

Because of the devastating year for layoffs.
The purpose of a system is what it does.

Eat. The. Rich.
We can't even get people to go outside and meet live humans for sex anymore, everyone has switched to online apps for dating. People order food and groceries because we learned from Covid we don't need to actually interact with other people.
Does anyone actually expect us to mobilize and topple powerful financial institutions? We have the most comfortable society on Earth in the US. Despite how miserable everyone is, nobody wants to leave their soft chairs and giant computer monitors and immersive video games and discord chat channels where you can mute and block anyone you don't like. The only thing that could possibly change our course at this point would be some transhumanist/singularity nonsense like artificial general intelligence being developed and wrecking the economy.
But that's tech being developed and controlled by the wealthy elite, so my hopes faded long ago.
Everything is going exactly to plan. You're welcome.
Maybe someone can make an app, so I can have someone paid at an insultingly low hourly rate to go protest/riot in my place?

And I bet he does less work in a day than every single one of the people who were laid off to fund his pay
Maybe they can come up with some technology that would someday take the position of CEO. Think of the savings...
Right, but the whole point of a corporation is to benefit insiders at the expense of the owners, employees, suppliers, customers, people that breath air, dolphins, platypi, etc.

I'm pretty sure CEOs are supposed to be one of the most AI replaceable jobs.

Every time a big company lays people off I always try to remember that it's not because they aren't making enough money as a company. It's because the "important" people want more money.
“Growth for the sake of growth is the ideology of a cancer cell”
He get this pay becuase he laysoff people.
Executive compensation is structured around this.
He wouldnt bother withnthe layoffs if his comp didnt improve...
~~despite~~
thanks to
What a miracle! He must work that much harder than everyone else there! I'll bet A.I. could never do as good a job as he does!
I almost forgot... I heard his marbled meat will taste better than many other breeds of billionaire, especially when slow-smoked over Mesquite. I hope we are able to taste that one day.
"Despite"
...because of layoffs
Yeah they want to make it clear that they laid off people and he should not get rewarded for it, however I think we all read 'thanks to the layoffs he could increase his pay'
Fire the CEO and hire back the best with pay rises, if they're willing. JC, MS, get a grip on yourselves.
Wow! He must be not just hundreds but many thousands of times more productive than an average employee! Incredible! Well deserved.
Wow such work, much deserve
Absolutely insane. I literally cannot fathom accepting that much money when there are so many other people who need it more.
That's because you're not a piece of shit. Most major companies CEOs are pieces of shit

Satya's union of 1 knows how to negotiate apparently.
It’d be cool to never be held accountable for bad business moves, but we also know that layoffs are celebrated by Wall Street for cutting costs.
On the one hand, Nadella has, in my opinion, saved Microsoft. They were on a downward spiral right before he took over. On the other hand, nothing justifies a $79.1MM salary. That is grotesque.
They still are, they might have started to pull up, by they're still squarely on a collision course with the ground. When this AI bubble pops, thier Boeing provided auto-pilot will crater them into the ground.
Sorry, this metaphor got away from me.
