I mean a tad overly cynical but vaguely true. Is this really such an epiphany for people? I never understood where does the idea that your employer is your friend even come from? Wait until you find out the etymology of the word salary!
These structures exist to make money. If they stop making money they die and all the jobs go with them and nobody gets paid anymore. If they stop growing they die.
Companies need money like you need oxygen. And if they don't die, if they figure it out and grow big, it is like the goose that layed the golden egg. All it has to do, all it can do, is waddle around and keep on laying golden eggs and shitting everywhere.
- Meritocracy is a myth;
- There is no value without labor;
- The only risk CEOs are assuming is the nightmare scenario of becoming a worker;
- The company is not your friend. There is no loyalty; and
- The people paying the price for any bad decisions of a company (eg The metaverse) are rarely the people responsible.
