I hate that we are in a timeline that I can't be absolutely sure that this is satire anymore.

I can no longer tell which ones are real and which are satire.

I had a boss like this once! Fucker pushed for overtime every night, argued against taking vacation, and would bitch people out for taking sick days, calling anyone who took time off lazy.

Turned out he fucking despised his wife, but didn't want to go through the "shame of divorce"(his words, after she kicked off the divorce).

Hope that dude stubs his toes every morning.

The places to watch out for are the ones who have “unlimited” vacation time. That actually means “ooh, now’s really not a good time…”

Even though I live what I do, getting paid is literally the only reason I go to work. If they did not pay me, I would not go.

"I offered my employees a salary, they then expected the full salary paid out. Miserable, ungrateful wretches."

We offered the CEO $550 million as a benefit. A gesture. A show of vision only a Super Board can have.

Instead, they treat it like a right. Like pay is something they're owed.

Some cash those checks. Some have it direct deposited. Different labels, same result, money leaves the company.

And that's when it hit me. If you really enjoy your job, why would you ever want to be paid for it?

Or am I the only one who sees it this way?

Sounds like a real stupid guy.

"I'm an insufferable rich cunt who doesn't do much at work, I have enough money to pay other people to do everything for me in the rest of my life, so I spend my free time persuing any hobby or interest I want, I'm also very empty inside so spend most of my time working."

You get 28 days plus bank holidays by law though

Even if you love doing something, you'll eventually want a break. What this guy is describing is addiction. Work addiction is one of many types of addiction that isn't even seen as such because while it can destroy everything else in your life, it likely won't stop you from being financially successful and that's the only measure of success anyone actually gives a fuck about, it seems.

Your salary has been made available in your corporate account, but why would you want to use it all and deprive your employer of the extra security a cash reserve brings? Work well done should be its own reward after all. A shareholder cries every time you make a withdrawal.

I'm pretty sure this person is joking.

If you really enjoy spaghetti & meatballs, why would you ever want to eat anything else?

I have such a hard time imagining this is actually a real person writing a real post.

USA needs some worker rights laws(apart from free healthcare, free education and others), in normal countries you'll be in trouble if you somehow didn't take your 28 days(more in some) of vacation, or were spotted at work in those days.

I love my job. I really do. I also love other things more. It’s not rocket surgery.

After being America pilled I moved to China and had a British roommate. My mind was blown when he told me his mom took paid vacation days to tidy the house. I would NEVER dream of using the 14 days of vacation I had in the USA to clean the fucking house. Just IMAGINE having so much time off that you'd even consider using some to clean the house. It seemed awesome to me.

I have an idea! Co-operatives, taxed automation, total freedom! Fuck work! Fuck all work! Most of us had enough of it for a lifetime. Even if you believe in working hard and earning your keep, the real issue is, you don't actually get to enjoy much of the results! You waste time you could have spent helping others, getting fit, developing your skillsets and hobbies! Living life! Experiencing things!

People with all the equity thinking that they don't need to share to get people to take ownership of work

~~what a fucking cunt~~ oh it is satire

This is crazy. Next thing you're going to tell me the employees actually keep their full salaries for themselves and don't give you back most of it?

What kind of psychopath enjoys working?

If you really enjoy your job, why would you ever want time away from it?

Good point, maybe you should think about that a little harder bro.

If you really like running why would you ever stop running?

I pay them every month but instead of keeping their salaries, they spend it all! Meaning I have to keep paying them! Absurd.

I love my field, I hate the majority of jobs in my field because while tech can do many cool and wonderful things and could be solving many more issue, most companies are busy doing what one percenters want and pushing for the least effort solutions and everything is always a cram. No breathing space, no time to enjoy the product and reflect on what to do next. Just cram, enshittify, add tracking, automate away your peers, do more with less people so we can fire more people.

I'm so sick of the efficiency rat race that capitalist investors demand.

I could tell it was satire because of his title, "probably the weirdest CEO of a recruit", but it's one of those cases where you just know a significant amount of bosses looks at that and sincerely agree
