Collin really gives off that "I kill small animals to feel alive" vibe.
I have said this in another post, Western employers love to hire non-Western immigrants because non-Western cultures are still traditional and conditioned to obey authority and hierarchy, and to value work more. And more importantly, this results in a less class conscious population, so non-Westerners are less likely to complain and unionise than their Western counterparts. While the minimum wage in most Western countries is peanuts these days when one considers the worsening cost of living, immigrants think Western minimum wage is CEO-level salary when compared to their home country's basic pay, and thus don't complain for being overworked for little pay by Western standards. Needless to say, Western companies exploit non-Westerners because the latter don't know better.
i thought he was going to say something like "I got this message, look how horrifying our foreign policy is and how it affects random innocent people" but he just instead decided to go "hey wanna exploit some labor overseas for cheap? consider hiring someone currently getting carpet bombed; it's so lucrative!" fucking psycho
Biggest way to save on payroll, take the highest paid employee, and just offshore that position. Going to guess that's probably the CEO.
And honest question, the fuck do most CEOs even do, exactly? Not there ones working at startups or whatever... Why are they given seemingly dictator power over the company? Why not remove the position and use democracy to run the company...?
They're supposed to be the one that lead the company to become better and bring in changes, and take the fall if something happened. They make decision for the company. But often its result in someone of nepotism/cronyism background with the boards and just sit there being useless, or someone the board of directors merely bring in to take the fall. The position itself is very useful for small private limited company, as the founder might not have the expertise to lead and inspire confidence from the worker.
Why not remove the position and use democracy to run the company…?
Because that would be socialism, and socialism, as we all know, is EVIL.
Hey, look I'm all for democracy, but it isn't a be all solution for everything.
This is the corporate behavior Libertarians never want to discuss. Their Elysium where corporations treat everyone well and don’t destroy things out of some unforced understanding that to do so would place them at a major disadvantage is a farce. There will always be disparity, and corporations will leverage that to pay the poorer less than the better off, dump waste where there are no rules, and drive people to keep working while bombs fall near their homes.
I'd rather starve than return to office more than once a week
"makes me want to run through a wall" is an interesting way to say you are turgid

This guys xitter account will turn you green with Luigi.
What a bloody insufferable cunt
He's a Dartmouth alum, too. I can tell you as a New Hampshire native that we'd be in a better place if that fascist finishing school for nepo baby cunts was wiped from the planet.

I'd call him a douche nozzle, but I doubt he sees that much action.
Fucking cunt thinks he invented something he calls Bottle night. No, he just found a way to make spending time with him bearable. Fucking little shits have to "invent" something to spend time with actual people
I love that colloquial, and am stealing it. Thank you!
Keep running through those walls my guy, don’t let your dreams be memes.
Great, another 26 year old that stumbled into wealth and thinks that makes him an authority.
Like those 20 something "executive coaches" fresh out of school I always seem to stumble upon on LinkedIn. They think they are incredible, but in reality they are only incredible in the literal sense.
Born on third base and thought he hit the home run look and feel.
Born on third base and thinks he scored a touchdown.
This is the most monstrous human being I’ve witnessed here. There is something fundamentally broken in him, and I’m terrified that this diseased thought process will spread through speech. I pray it’s genetic, and therefore quarantinable.
If he wants to actually attempt running through a wall, he has all my support.
I hope it's a brick wall.
Or the outer wall of a 20th floor suite.
I'm in favor of letting him turn the metaphor literal. Please go headfirst, Collin
I've seen someone try that.
Alcohol was involved.
Yeah, when you're easily replaceable and need the job, you tend to work yourself to death. It's really hard to get a tech job in India, and I assume the same is true for Pakistan.
So yeah, dude has no EQ.
The disconnect from reality here is just mind blowing. Dude needs to go overseas and witness how utterly terrifying a threat on your life you have no control over actually is. Sidenote: punchable face.
Basically any CEO, and even most small business owners, would kill you if it meant a few percent more yearly profit.
Yeah actually mental.
What he calls 'dedication' is actually fear at having to hold your job down during the middle of a fucking WAR because if you disappoint your corporate overlords you will be both getting missiles rained on you AND unable to support your family.
It's desperation, and desperation which is very intentionally baked into the system so dickhead 'leaders' like these can get the slaves they are looking for and label that slavery as a 'positive work ethic'
So out of touch with real people.
The reason they are cheap and dedicated is because they are desperate, living in a country where if they didn't have this job they would literally be starving and in poverty.
So CEOs like this are simply capitalizing on their desperation to save money from hiring domestic workers who have a better safety net. Absolutely disgusting pieces of trash.
Also why does this guy who looks like a 19 year old frat boy believe anyone should listen to his advice?
why does this guy who looks like a 19 year old frat boy believe anyone should listen to his advice?
No, I get it. He reminds the bosses of their kids who they're ignoring. He tells them what they want to hear so they can pretend their kids love them.
Cause mommy and daddy say how great he is
CEO: Working in office is good Also CEO: Hiring offshore is also good
???
Silly domestic remote employees want a livable wage and are less tolerant to being paid less because they don't live in an overpriced area.
😂🤣😂
"Returning to the office" is such a gross phrase. Get fucked.
My employer has stooped so low as to call it "return to work". Like, what the fuck have I been doing the past 5 years!?
I'm currently in the final round of interviews for a new employer. I don't expect that they will be nearly different, but at least they will pay more.
I'm going to start calling it "Leaving your home".
Isn't it. It has a strange implication as though being in the office is the proper place and one day we all just forgot to be there.
Someone should fire this guy. Out of a cannon. Into the sun.
Just set him on fire here, no need to launch a rocket with all the pollution that will create.
End result is extra crispy lunatic either way.
I was managing a project with contractors in Ukraine when the war broke out. They had some equipment of ours on loan for around 10.000 euros. While I was handling their employees suddenly scattering all over Europe, my upper management wanted me to ask them to keep our equipment safe. I told my management to get fucked. Luckily they understood how insensitive they were being.
I continued the project, we even paid our invoices earlier to help them out. The company was so grateful. Later in that project, my coworker who is originally from Iran expressed his sympathies when Iranian drones were raining down on Ukraine, how he was ashamed his country was doing this. What a moment
That reminds me of 2015 when there was a big flood in Chennai. We were working on a project and the software team was located there. When the floods happened we didn't hear anything from them for a few days. A middle manager sent a very angry email to them complaining that we would not be able to make the milestones if they didn't work during that time and he actually asked us to send an email every few hours asking for updates (we all ignored the order except for one guy)
Thankfully upper management and the CEO office knew better and sent a support email to them and I believe they reprimanded the other manager.
After a few days we learned that some employees actually lost their lives and the office itself was affected and they're were not able to return to work for a few weeks
My former company had an offshore team in Bangalore (actually, 90% of our company was located there). We had a morning meeting right before a critical release, and the offshore leader told us that nobody there would be able to do anything or even be in contact for the next two or three days. Turns out they were moving to a new office building but nobody there had told the US team anything about it - even though they knew our project schedule. This was completely representative of our communication with them.
As shitty as things like this are, at least they're self identifying who needs to be in the Guillotine line.
This kinda shit is one of the smaller reasons we all cheered on Luigi.
I’ve managed people in India before - not to save money but to handle overnight tickets - and to me they work too hard.
One of my reports was affected by some pretty significant flooding and asked if maybe they could have a day off.
I told them to not worry about work until their house was no longer filled with mud and water.
Nice job dude. How did your wife take it after they fired you for being human?
I wasn’t fired. I just stopped being a manager. The worst part is all the other managers.
I have been in tech for almost thirty years and this August will mark the 20th anniversary of the company I started.
In my experience, there are two predominant types of tech exec. On the one hand you have the folk who invest in "human capital", which makes it sound awful but it is meant as a way to acknowledge that your workforce is your main asset, not a liability to be trimmed for cost savings. The other are douchebags like this guy who start and run companies putting out sub par garbage on the cheap. Some of these companies do business at a loss, just so they can show an active book of business so they cam borrow even more money. They are rarely profitable and produce nothing of value...but they do love to circle jerk each other to no end.
Hahahaha, yeah, hiring overseas is a great way to skimp on payroll. In my experience, it’s also a great way to skimp on quality, effectiveness, and sanity. We just got rid of one guy who, immediately after hiring, asked for an RTO exemption for a newborn child; fine, it was granted. When that expired, still refused. Was counseled on it and their low quality of work. Then tried having someone else attend their meetings, was called on it, and resigned. Pretty sure they were trying to subcontract their job to work multiple full-time jobs.
Seeing more and more of this domestically.
People are recognizing that their relationship with their employer is exploitative and are trying to return that energy.
I've worked with a few people recently that clearly were holding multiple jobs or were much more focussed on their side hustle.
Symptom of a bigger issue in my opinion.
Could it have been Jesus that said "Those who live by the free market shall die by the free market?"
I like how his expression of inspiration / passion is destructive (running through a wall). It's very on brand.
Yeah, I hate the exploitative nature of overseas hiring, just colonialism with a fresh coat of paint. I also dislike their in-person requirement of two days per week. As has been noted elsewhere in this thread, there is a good, non-exploitative use case in providing overnight coverage for US-based orgs so that no one has to work night shifts. I’ve done both, and it’s hard to get and keep good people on a night shift, regardless of where they live.
I’m all for doing the minimum to stay employed, but in this case I was told the employee didn’t, so not only were they not meeting even a low bar, but they were exploiting someone else in turn to do it.
That guy was a "straight-shooter with upper management written all over him."
i would not be able to work in an environment where any colleagues fellate the exploitative bullshit corpo "leadership" with such fervor
What a little shitbag...
Good fucking god Perkins, that shouldn't be the takeaway !
Dude looks like he is 12 in his pic, wtf
