Comment on The hardest workers get the smallest pay.
Showroom7561@lemmy.ca 7 months agoWhile not often billionaires, if there’s one thing I’ve learned from watching Undercover Boss is that most bosses wouldn’t be able to handle the workload that they expect their min wage employees to on a daily basis.
And that’s on top of the struggle that nearly every one of those min wage employees are going through in their life, which is infinitely more difficult than the problems of a rich person.
I don’t think that all billionaires are lazy, but I also don’t think they could do the work of their lowest paid employees.

Absent the coercion brought on by the threat of starvation, illness, and homelessness, most people wouldn't be able to handle a lot of minimum wage jobs. They wear down your body and soul. But having a gun pointed at you and your family is a hell of a motivator.
Who cares, though? Laziness is not the problem with billionaires. I wish for everyone to live in a world where they can get away with being "lazy". Where they can pursue their passions and refuse to do the tasks that make life a drudge.
The wealth hoarding is the problem. Even if every single billionaire was provably the hardest worker in their company, it doesn't change how I feel about the inequality.

I pretty much agree with all points.
