Imagine? This is real life.
Whatever you say 🤷♂️🤦♂️🤣
I guess we're simultaneously in 3% unemployment and employers are at the same time firing effective employees all day.
You’re watching in real-time as middle managers fire as much as half their staff using ridiculous “return to the office” policies (when wfh had productivity up, saved employees money, and reduced pollution) just to save their own jobs and those of their commercial real estate landlords. Employees are already being replaced with AI.
If you don’t think that bosses would just fire people and replace them with automation then you really must be the most dense motherfucker in America. Stop defining your self-worth by how hard you work, it’s just what your bosses want to turn you into a slave they can exploit while you never criticize the ever increasing problems with a system that doesn’t give a single solitary shit about you.
Lolol that's one company. Median tenure in the US is about 4 years depending on who you ask.
Do you think getting fired means you don't need a new job? Those people getting fired still have bills to pay. They're just finding new jobs.
And you think companies are firing the efficient employees from employer to employer while keeping a sub 3% rate? The median tenure in the states is about 4 years. What you are claiming just isn't mathematically possible
Then show me the failed calculation
"Efficient employee" is corpo speak for "abused and compliant worker". Of course they wouldn't fire the people that give them the most results for the least in return.
Edit: I do work 40 hours/week and it's bullshit. I don't reply to corporate shills
Blah blah. Blah blah, go walk dogs if you can't be brothered to put in a decent 40 hours.
