- Comment on Microsoft CEO's pay rises 63% to $73m, despite devastating year for layoffs 3 weeks ago:
Sorry to hear that, typical hierarchical power structure.
We need more worker protections, and more workplace democracy.
- Comment on Microsoft CEO's pay rises 63% to $73m, despite devastating year for layoffs 3 weeks ago:
Remember, he’s the real victim here, he had to sign off on all those layoffs, he’s going to have to live with that decision…
…in one of his multiple mansions.
He gets paid that much because he’s one of the few people on earth who can make those kind of tough choices. The poor guy must be weeping into his caviar.
- Comment on Amazon Contractors can't even sing in their cars now. Unions protect against this micromanagement. 2 months ago:
Oh man…I want labor to have a massive comeback so soon, absolutely put the screws to the corpo scum.
- Comment on Employees Who Stay In Companies Longer Than Two Years Get Paid 50% Less 5 months ago:
That only works if you have managers that give a rip about helping you grow and compensating you well for that growth, which sadly, most people don’t have.
In my experience, staying at the same place and taking on more “growth opportunities” was just an excuse for management to throw more on my plate without compensation increases. Sure I would get a little raise sometimes, but it was always pissy amounts of money, even when I asked for more.
I started jumping jobs aggressively and magically my pay exploded upwards. I now have basically zero loyalty to the companies I work for, just like they have for me. Contract work is even better for this, but the downside is usually you have bad or zero benefits.
