Not sure if this belongs here but felt it was appropriate.
A worker does all the work to generate profit
The company takes all the profit and nobody bats an eye
The worker asks for some of the profit and everyone loses their minds
There's probably a simple explanation for it, but it's weird to me that the bottom text has a fixed height* but the top has oversized Cs, Gs, Os, and Ss.
*or whatever the proper font terminology equivalent might be
I'm choosing to believe it's another element of the meme displaying the Joker's disregard for order or something.
Capitalists don't "create" employment - they gatekeep it.
βYou tell us what your salary expectations are.β really just means βlow-ball yourself because youβre scared and we know damn well itβs hard to communicate with other candidates.
Tell me what youβre willing to pay and we can go from there. Tell your employees what that position pays, and have that be available. There is ZERO reason not to unless youβre actively trying to hide something from the people youβre exploiting.
And a message to anyone who thinks itβs ok and isnβt even benefitting from it: Shove a hot poker up your ass, idiot.
That's also why I try to do the least possible.
The only way to be comfortable in this system is to disadvantage others, step on others' backs. The most ethical way to earn comfort in a greedy capitalist society is to earn, borrow and steal as much money as you can. The moral code of a thief stands: Steal only from the rich.
You have to ask for the money. No one is going to throw it at your feet.
Job before last, boss offers me a raise, told him I thought I should be making at least $50K. "I thought I was paying you that? OK, if you feel your work is worth that, I'll get with payroll and see where we currently are." Got a fatter raise.
Hell, even working a shit job at Lowe's had me an offer on a raise within a few months. Was chatting with the GM in his office one day about a thing I thought should be fixed. He very pointedly told me that if someone working for him felt they were doing a good job and deserved more pay, even if it wasn't time for a scheduled raise, he would be glad to talk about it. HINT. I quit in a huff very soon after that, but at the time we were both trying to get time to meet.
"Fortune favors the bold." True both figuratively and literally.
God forbid me having a dream of getting a promotion.
Its still just debt slavery under the hood.
Who loses their mind? Aren't salary discussions commonplace every year?
Can we not write complete sentences anymore?
if you ask for a raise and they say no, then keep working or find a better paying job. making a meme about it doesn't change anything.
