Abso-goddamn-lutely.

John Brown. The man stood up for what was right, even at the cost of his own life.

Let's use an analogy. You need to go west. There's two buses on offer: one goes east, and the other goes further east. Do you get on the bus that goes less east, or do you just start walking west?

I didn't make a silly mistake, you did.

(thanks, lol)

The right one will be twice as willing as the left one!!

0*0 is 0, you see

At 400F it would no longer be a chicken but a pile of glowing cinders. A chicken is cooked at 165F.

Oh wow just switch employers, is that all

Beyond that, you missed my point. Even if I were being paid more, I still wouldn't have any incentive to make myself dispensable. Unless I'm vested in the company profits, then the profits don't matter to me.

Lmao fuck integrity I'm trying to make rent

It's not like the company has any integrity in their dealings, like when they lay off entire departments with no notice. One of my current coworkers worked for Dell for 17 years before being laid off. According to you, if she were confident in her abilities, she shouldn't have worried.

Companies don't care about integrity. They don't care about people. All companies would replace you with someone cheaper if they could. Why should we care about them?

Then they should pay me based on that—giving me partial ownership, for example, would incentivize me to do better for the company. As it stands, I get paid the same no matter how the company is doing. I only have an incentive not to get fired... which is easier if I'm indispensable.

Capitalism offers a perverse incentive in this regard. I have no motive to keep the company healthy, only to get paid. Ensuring I can be replaced benefits the company while harming me.

This is the most devastating insult I've ever read

That's literally exactly how voting works. You can't put an asterisk on your vote. An exuberant, wholehearted vote counts exactly the same as one where you feel dirty for a week after.
