I vote we call them 'core contributors' from now on.
I rememebe when they were called them heroes during covid, but received no increase in pay and were treated like shit again the moment the vaccine existed.
ah yes, you helped save society from collapse. Here’s a gold star and a rent increase. Thank you!
Being good is its own reward!
(I'm not a hero, so I'll take your money as mine.)
Yeah, it's also interesting that we almost never say "skilled work". It's just work vs. 'Unskilled'. Might as well just stop with the division (which is only useful to billionaires and people in finance). Divide and conquer, I guess...
I'm afraid it would become another marketing/HR term. We call you Core Contributors, which makes it seem like we're being nice to you, behind which curtain we can mess you around and take more of your output for ourselves.
To be honest I rather have people be nice to my face and screw me over behind my back, over them treating me like shit and also screw me over. 'At least they're being honest' is overrated.
