    Ok, lets start by labelling CEO’s who don’t do shit as “unemployed”.

    Next is every billionaire that don’t pay the taxes they are owed.

    I’m putting in a proportional amount of effort for my pay compared to what my CEO does for his pay. Seems fair to me.

    Some CEOs deserve to be fired… out of a cannon… at a brick wall… covered in large spikes.

    They realize 40% of the population isn't employed, right?

    I mean, I have talked with a number of people who know that there are people they work with that are little more than “warm bodies” and get by doing as little as possible while dumping everything they can on someone else. They stay employed because “at least they do something” and there is no one else to do it. Before I get a “low pay” response, these are working professionals and paid accordingly.

    It is also a well know economics trend (Phillips curve) that states as unemployed falls, inflation rises. Most countries are underemployed, and it is driving inflation.

    Unless he is saying all workers are arrogant and entitled, in which case fuck him.

      I would argue that “these working professionals” are not paid accordingly. If you’re expecting more of them, pay more. Top talent tends to go where the money is.

      If you’re wondering where the money should come from, see: out of touch billionaires.

        I don’t want to go into too much detail, but 1.5 times the countries median wage - not minimum, not living, 1.5 times the countries average income - should be enough to get people to be able to answer a phone and respond to basic emails in a timely matter (like, 24 hours) when people’s lives and financial security are on the line.

        This isn’t a top-talent argument - its acting with a basic sense of actually doing work while you are being paid.

      If management can’t do better than place “warm bodies”, I’d say management is overpaid.

        Based on the other person im “talking” with maybe management should be paid more to attract the right managers, and maybe management isn’t paid enough to do more than the bare basics.

        I mean, what’s the difference? Both are people paid to do a job, yet change the job title and all of a sudden someone not doing a job shouldn’t be paid so much.

        Are there shit managers - absolutely. But don’t act like employees not doing that they are paid to is acceptable either.

    And I say in order to fix things he should jump off a cliff. Maybe he should try my idea since it only hurts one person instead of millions.

    Guy’s a fucking moron, Australia could not survive such high unemployment - nor could any modern economy.
