They’re a (former) worker that owns a part of that company. That’s how it should be. Workers owning their company.
Comment on Disneyland workers say they live in cars, motels due to low pay
whostosay@lemmy.world 1 month agoYou own stock but you’re rooting for the impoverished? Get absolutely fucked. Instead of that. How about you help you your fellow man instead of enriching yourself? Sounds real fucking good next to “hoping” my stocks pay off.

You sound like a Disney villain, how ironic.

Not sure if that’s accurate but it wasn’t great

Some companies give stock as a primary benefit. Some of those companies may provide stock in lieu of pay. That doesn’t mean it’s necessary valuable - they typically give you some amount of stock equal to today’s salary, and you would be hopeful the value increases substantially.
Just the fact that the other person has stock from his time being employed by Disney is no indicator of their wealth.

I’m saying this would probably go against my stocks (that I got as part of the 401k from working next to these people) and I STILL want them to win. Even if my stocks go down.

Make sure you send thoughts and prayers too.

Well, I spent several hours talking to them the other day, wishing them well and wishing my support to them. If I was still in the state, I would be out there side by side with my literal fucking friends. I’ll also support the newly formed entertainment union that JUST voted to unionize. I’ll speak on their behalf and tell people how the company treats them unfairly and fucks them over every single day.
What the fuck do you want me to do? Not have taken advantage of my employer while I was working there and taken the employer match? It’s in a 401k, it’s not like I can just get rid of it all for another 30 years and it’s not like I have much.
Stop being a fucking dick.

You know what man, I really don’t know what I want you to do, and I’m sorry for coming at you like that. I and we have been taking so many godamn L’s I lashed out. I hope you and y’all and we find a way. I don’t have a means to help and I also don’t have anything close to retirement so I assumed you might. I hope it gets better.

The best kind of friends. Though I’ve usually just heard them called “friends with benefits”

That was unnecessarily mean. Are you mad at him because he has stock in the company?
whostosay@lemmy.world 1 month ago
You know what, you’re likely right. But also I’ve been broke sense forever and never had a chance to think about a 401k, which historically has benefits the 1% significantly more than any contributing person. I guess my point is, don’t appear to sympathize if you’re not directly experiencing it or taking action.
