Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime. Now I cry on company time

Quaint rhyme from better times. Boss is making $34 for my dime today.

- "Boss makes a 20, I make a buck. Now I smoke crack in the company truck"

  It wouldn't be so bad if it were only a 20x difference. It is more like a 5000x difference. 🥲

Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime,

that was a poem from a simpler time.

Boss makes a dollar, we don't make jack,

that's why we fight to take the means back!

- Boss makes a million, I make a buck That’s why we steal the catalytic converter off the company truck

i love WFH because i can wake up feeling like shit and log on immediately to start the clock instead of waking up on my own time and giving my peak hours to the capitalists

- No commute though so at least you're not crying in the car while stuck in traffic.

Do you really win if capitalism dictates when you should feel / cry?

- But they don't dictate it. They win if you cry only when it doesn't affect them

  They do. The capitalistic grind makes you think it's more worthwhile to cry while making money, rather than cry when you needed to.

- If I can be less productive at work and get paid to cry, then that's a double win on the capitalists

  But they get you to cry on their terms. How much is agency worth as a human being - more or less than the hourly wage?

old Stanhope joke: drink Sunday through Thursday. if you're gonna be hungover anyway, do it on the company dime.

I work weekends so I'll be sad if I want to. My Mondays are pretty chill. All you people who do a single damn thing on the weekend that requires anyone at all to work can shut the hell up about it too.
