  19. It's called SOCIAL DUMPING on Video-Game Publishers Outsource Development · · Score: 0

    When a country with lower living standards and
    almost inexistant social welfare takes jobs from
    us, it is basically exploiting it's slave-type
    population to DUMP the difference in labor costs on to us !

    The west needs leaders with a real vision, not
    the fat pigs who are gorging themselves at the expense of the rest of us, while saying :
    "oh, you should just adapt !"
    Meaning : get poorer or die in the street.

    Morality : REVOLT !!!

    ***** a corrupt congressman today !

  20. The rich are waging war on the poor. on The Surprising Benefits of Being Unemployed · · Score: 0

    Of course we can't compete with the emerging third-world masses on wages. These irresponsible breeders keep pumping out kids that grow up to despair so much that the only recourse is to take on a slave-wage or die trying to get in to the richer countries, where they will be exploited again, but not so much as before (and drag down local wages, therefore exporting their misery). It's quite strange to see that the US can put up tariffs for steel but not for IT services... No unions for geeks I suppose. No unity, no common voice, so most get shafted. The real problem of this sick planet is greed. The Fat Pigs that control most of the capitalist system (admirable in many ways) are not interested in long-term responsibility. They are there to fill their pockets and "after me, the deluge, for all I care". It's this selfish attitude that is destroying the hopes and aspirations of millions of young and not-so-young people today. "oh, we know." they will say, but do nothing because it is not in their interest. They are just too many of us on this planet and it's only getting worse. Too many people + rich getting richer + middle classes getting poorer = WAR. Whether it's only an economic war remains to be seen. Oh, and to employers moaning about state charges being too high, I don't hear you complaining about the way having lots of unemployed around allows you to drag down wages and standards of living of those you employ !

  21. Re:This is bullshit. on Executing a Mass Departmental Exodus in the Workplace? · · Score: 0

    I like the way you avoid mentioning that
    the workplace is another place where power struggles go on.

    Why would you? As I imagine you are a manager it would not be in your interest to mention it because you probably exercise that very power over
    other people. Maybe rightly so because you
    are more clever or better educated.

    I am simply reminding the slaves underneath you
    to watch out because power corrupts.
    And in a power struggle between you and some
    body you can fire at a near whim on your part
    it is not exactly an equal fight is it ?

    You may be a good person, but experience
    dictates caution and suspicion for the more vulnerable people.
    Success of the people under
    you is very basic manager duty and should be obvious to all except the crassest retard.

    I feel sorry for you for the way you rate success as the rank you get to in a hierarchy (and of course the money that comes with it) instead of just the plain old pursuit of happiness.

    As for my own success, I've moved on from manning
    the phones to a highly paid consulting job in under 7 years so I think I'm already there, thanks.

    Oh, and keep your patronizing tone for your drones,not me.

  22. This is bullshit. on Executing a Mass Departmental Exodus in the Workplace? · · Score: 0

    Who cares what managers think. Their ACTIONS speak for themselves. Managers sure know how to talk their way around the mess they often leave behind them but not everyone is dumb to the point of actually believing what they say. Sure, there is the occasional brilliant manager out there. I must have seen maybe, three, in ten years. The rest deserve all the contempt and suspicion you can think of, with good reason : they're all looking after number one and screw everyone else, especially anyone underneath them, because they usually can get away with it. Of course, some people say that you shouldn't think like that because it's going to harm your career. Ha! That's right, bend over for the Man ! He sure will thank you for it ! But reward you ? Keep dreaming. Only exceptional organizations driven by truly gifted people get any real respect from the lower echelons. They are quite rare. Being clever is not showing that contempt and suspicion until you are ready to make your move. It is NOT disneyland out there, people !

    Freedom is priceless.
    Do not be scared by lack of money.
    Just put aside enough and then tell your
    greedy asshole boss to go fuck himself
    (politely if you're still in good terms).
    If you have a mortgage/family, well you only
    have yourself to blame for the shackles
    around your ankles.
    Free your mind and the rest will follow.
