Corporate Cucks / Hustle Culture / LinkedIn Loonies - Corporate bootlickers and shills

[MarvinTheParanoidAndroid]

Quiet Quitting aka Working Your Wage: Doing what you are asked to do, no more, no less. You don't pick up work calls before 8 AM or after 6 PM. Corpo boomers like to call them lazy millennials/GenZ because they are unwilling to work overtime or go after that promotion that they will never give anyway.

So this is what "quiet quitting" is? Doing your job to the letter? Why is it called "quitting" at all? "Quiet quitting" sounds like it means you just don't show up to work anymore.

Because our Corpo culture has become so toxic that "Doing your job" is no longer enough.

*Looks at thread topic* Because of stupid faggots like are in this thread.

Corporate buzzwords to guilt trip you

 

[Meat Target]

You don't pick up work calls before 8 AM or after 6 PM.

Calls should not be made 5 minutes before closing time. If something is so damned important that it requires an extended time on the phone, then call during business hours.

It is rude and inconsiderate to make people stay late.

Yeah. People like to shit on Japan for their work culture, but any sane person can see the US has the exact same problems as Japan if not worse, seeing that I doubt workplaces over there gaslight you into thinking they are your friend/family/community. Sure it's not as intense as Japan, but don't pretend the US and most of the globohomogenized West isn't full of toxic workplaces.

Imo, this is why I think that the birthrates are declining. People are too stressed out and work for very long hours just to make the ends meet and barely have any time for their kids. I remember reading that someone had to fire a nanny because her kid started calling the nanny "Mama". I believe this is how far we've gotten into this shit. Just grind yourself and work to the point where you barely even have time for yourself and your spouse to make a family.

That's horrifying to think about. I'm not antiwork or a socialist or whatever by any means, but I do feel that we live in an era of extreme capitalism that is preventing people from being happy just due to not being to properly execute and realize basic biological and spiritual goals. It's one thing to have a father go out and make ends meet for his family. It's another thing entirely to basically destroy the extended family system and take both parents out of the house just for them to get by. This is why I hate when boomers complain about shit like this:
1) They caused it with their endorsement of retarded government spending projects that they benefitted from and future generations pay for (Medicaid/Medicare, Social Security, crazy amounts of unwarranted military spending, welfare,etc.)
2) They don't realize it isn't the 50s,60s,70s or 80s anymore and that the job market is not product based but service based, it's overcrowded and they refuse to retire.
3) They worship corporations and material wealth like they are fucking God, which goes hand in hand with them hoarding the wealth that should go to future generations to themselves.

That plus low wage/wage suppression that hasnt caught up with inflation for decades, and the mess that is the housing market.

It's Crony Capitalism, It is a bunch of Large Corporations in bed with the Government, It's the shit that the left used to warn us about until Ratheon put a Fag Flag on their twitter.

The Deep State/Administrative Complex infiltrated Corporations with endless free money and being exempt from regulatory pressure in exchange for doing the State's dirty work.

A lot of the social safety net stuff were not started by Boomers but by the Silent and Greatest generations, in hopes that their children and children's children would not need to endure what they went though. The military spending was again not started by the Boomers but the proceeding generations.
The Boomers just benefited from all this and then started to take it away from the generations after them once they got the chance.

This is the real problem with globalism, you're not just competing regionally, you're competing with the whole world and there's always someone living in a shanty town who promises to do the same work you can for way less pay, so you have to make up the difference somehow, and that 'somehow' is corporate cult groveling.

There is nothing wrong with having a good world ethic, or enjoying work. Tbh the corporate world has people so detached from the produce of their efforts that people no longer find satisfaction in the feeling of accomplishment which just feeds into a cycle of making lazier ppl.

Like, when you have a physical task, like idk, you start a little farm. You see the result of your work, you touch the work, you enjoy the work or atleast gain some sense of satisfaction.

But office shit doesn't yield the physical "hit", you just get a paycheck,to buy things, which puts the satisfaction a degree separate from the work,making the idea of working hard seem less appealing.

Idk if it makes sense but so much of this corporate cuckholding just feels like the inevitable outcome of a modern structure where people don't hold their work because they don't physically see or touch the results of their work, it's just numbers on a page.

Dialectic materialism?

3) They worship corporations and material wealth like they are fucking God, which goes hand in hand with them hoarding the wealth that should go to future generations to themselves.

Do boomers even exist anymore? What would their average age group be by now, like 90?

1964 is the Cutoff for boomer so yeah they are still around technically.

The problem with these social safety nets is they're glorified taxes that get embezzled by the government anyway, we'd be better off doing away with them altogether so Americans can keep more of their money, and that includes income tax.

Never going to happen because corrupt people have infiltrated the government and started sapping off of it like mosquitos, walk in middle class, walk out a millionaire.

5 pages and no mentions of Joshua Fluke or Aaron Clarey yet? Interesting.

I'd rather be a Roman slave than an American wage slave. It was against the law for a Roman master to torture an obedient slave; there's no such law in the United States. The Romans were also honest about their slavery. It was more personal to serve some wealthy man honest about how things were than to be some cog in a machine made of tens of thousands of faceless drones. Romans also considered slaves to be a part of the family, but they actually meant it.

No, sorry, you wouldn't. Roman slaves were treated to all kinds of horrible fates. One off the top of my head were the underground Roman miners, where they would put a slave on a water wheel that the slave had to climb like a never ending escalator to make the machine work. Mine slaves had the average life expectancy of about two years. If you were a slave in Rome and not a house slave to a rich aristocrat, you were worked to death. Roman slavery was every bit as terrible as the Transatlantic Slave Trade and then some.

Oh, and if you were a slave to an aristocrat, you were a sex slave, and you'd be the collateral in a husband & wife marital feud on top of getting raped, meaning you'd be subject to all kinds of abuse up to and including getting murdered for obeying orders against the wishes of one of your owners, and refusing would equally get you abused and/or killed, only sooner.

Oh and Romans were infamously not picky about age, so take that to its logical conclusion.

I would much rather be a cubicle cuck than a Roman slave any day, because I reserve the option to get up and leave.

 

[Big Nasty]

Germans were the ones who treated their slaves, or thralls as part of the family.

Thralldom was often a form employment that only lasted for a set period of time. You gave yourself up as a thrall to pay off a debt or obligation, or because you were destitute.

While I agree, this is still the Capitalist version of the It wasn't real Communism argument. Capitalism always leads to exactly this. Amusingly, I see people claim China to unfairly advantage its native businesses, and how Capitalism can't succeed in such conditions. I thought only the evil Communists wanted the entire world under Communism, so it could work. It's the same thing either way, with only minor differences.

No, sorry, you wouldn't.

I'm not very well-versed in this aspect of Roman history, so I will accept what I've been told here, and will still argue with it. Now, this isn't the thread for arguing about the finer points of Roman slavery, so I'll be brief and try not to mention it again for at least a few pages.

I'd rather die on a water wheel than be shot to death delivering pizzas in a bad neighborhood, or some similar death. As we know, executives never molest their employees or drive them to suicide for one reason or another. Yes, being driven to suicide by liars, while cries of my freedom drum everywhere around me, is so much better than being worked to death by more honest masters. I suppose that's my main point; did the Romans lie about slavery? Some people are obviously natural slaves, as has been mentioned already, but we live in a society that pretends otherwise, and all this really accomplishes is torturing those smart enough to see through the bullshit. I know not how realistic it was for the average Roman slave to buy his freedom, but how realistic is it for the modern American man to buy his?

I would much rather be a cubicle cuck than a Roman slave any day, because I reserve the option to get up and leave.

In principle, sure; in actuality, how many people can afford to leave a bad job in the greatest country on Earth? In Roman society, was a farmer expected to work as hard as he could constantly, while being dragged away to endless meetings about the importance of men pretending to be women? Was any Roman ever subjected to the total surveillance to which every single one of us is subjected? Did the slave on the water wheel have Manna on his ankles telling him to work a little harder so he could meet the average slave quota, like any Amazon warehouse worker? Was the Roman slave given a fake education, so he could be a temporarily embarrassed millionaire, or the more honest no education? I think I would've learned it by now if Roman society had major unemployment issues, although I suppose the bread and circuses count.

I think I'd rather walk around delivering my master's messages than feed people poison in a McDonald's, and on the topic of McDonald's, did Roman slaves eat mass-produced poison or real food such as apples and wheat? I think I'd rather be a Roman slave than some insane man on LinkedIn who tells himself and believes that a corporation ever could be more important than his family, and I believe the average Roman worker didn't need his wife to sell herself so they could afford rent and no children like today's man, or am I wrong here?

No, I'd rather be a Roman slave than own nothing and be happy.

Spoiler: Roman history

Slaves had no rights, couldn't buy their freedom and were literal property.

Also, that article you linked about the suicides goes into no detail about what happened, other than employees being giving humiliating jobs. You know what they could do that slaves can't do? Get up and leave, organize a protest, anything short of suicide, really.

Did the slave on the water wheel have Manna on his ankles telling him to work a little harder so he could meet the average slave quota, like any Amazon warehouse worker?

No, they had a task master that would whip them or otherwise physically abuse them, and if they felt so inclined, kill them.

Was the Roman slave given a fake education, so he could be a temporarily embarrassed millionaire, or the more honest no education?

Many slaves were better educated than the average Roman simply because they were the survivors of a lost war, such as the Greeks & Carthaginians.

Some were given trade educations where Roman citizens were given real, general educations, so in a way yes, they were given 'fake' educations.

They certainly weren't given standardized Roman educations guaranteeing the ability to read, right or count.

I think I would've learned it by now if Roman society had major unemployment issues, although I suppose the bread and circuses count.

Yes, they did have major unemployment issues, due to slaves taking all the jobs Roman soldiers were promised upon their return from war. It caused civil unrest in 121 BC. Slavery actually deepened the divide between elite aristocrats who bought the land of bankrupt middle class Roman soldiers who couldn't compete with slave farms. Slavery completely disrupted the economics of Rome.

I think I'd rather walk around delivering my master's messages than feed people poison in a McDonald's, and on the topic of McDonald's, did Roman slaves eat mass-produced poison or real food such as apples and wheat?

You know what modern America has in abundance which Ancient Rome doesn't? Beef, poultry, pork, meat. Americans are significantly better fed than the Ancient Romans.

I think I'd rather be a Roman slave than some insane man on LinkedIn who tells himself and believes that a corporation ever could be more important than his family, and I believe the average Roman worker didn't need his wife to sell herself so they could afford rent and no children like today's man, or am I wrong here?

Roman slaves had no rights and couldn't marry, and if they had family already they would have their children stolen from them. Lots of Romans were rendered homeless due to the slave trade in Rome.

Rome was not this shining beacon of what makes for a perfect society, it had constant economic problems because it was a nascent nation and more or less stayed that way for centuries, pulling amateur moves like inflating their currency to pay debts, restricting Roman citizens from wielding arms or letting in strangers from foreign lands only to get sacked a day later.

Rome had immense potential which it regularly squandered only to end up in a cycle of repeated crises where it needed to be rescued by one lone Roman general who knew what he was doing only to be stabbed to death by his own guard to let the national rot begin again.

No, I'd rather be a Roman slave than own nothing and be happy.

Roman slaves owned nothing and were very much unhappy.
