Its almost as if the more real work you do, the less you matter.

I wonder what would happen if the higher up in a company you get, the less you got payed. I'd imagine more actual work would be accomplished.

It saddens me the fact that there are people out there wanting to do more work.

The game is rigged. Do nothing and get paid.

Agree with you but depends on where someone work. It's rare but some work are undeniably positive to the society.

Have you been watching me at work?

Just had a conversation with someone on this last weekend. They’re what I call someone dependent on corporate daycare. They need to be working or they lack self value. Their boss is an ass, hardly works and this guy thinks he’s slacking at 12 hours a day (exaggerated only a little).

What are you doing that is so important? Is it saving someone’s life? Life changing cancer drugs? No no, it’s a PowerPoint that shows the progress on the projects of equally less important tasks that is only making your boss look good.

And the fucker still thinks he’s not WORKING HARD ENOUGH!!

Yeah it is truly sad. I wish with all my heart that I could have one of those government jobs where I would do the minimum and still get paid well, but sadly, I am stuck in the corporate world.

Thankfully, I just give them my 1% and do the Barr minimum to get the annual increments...but fuck I just hate wasting 8 hours of my life a day doing worthless computer shit. It pays the bills though.

I wouldn't be in the field if I didn't enjoy the work.

However I've positioned myself to make sure no work is ever unpaid, unless it's for my own future startup idea.

The higher you go the closer you get to the people who actually controls the capital. The CEO can have a personal relationship with the board, people who do actual work are merely a number to the higher-ups.

The CEO is usually on the board and a lot of the other board members will also be CEOs but yes
