Boss made a dollar
I made a dime,
That was a poem.
From a simpler time.

Now boss makes a thousand.
And gives us a cent
While he's got employees.
Who can't pay the rent.

So when boss makes a million.
And the workers make jack.
Then that's when we riot.
And take our lives back.

In the US civil service the website used for applying for government jobs (USAjobs) is whitelisted and it's pretty commonplace to see people using it at work, on their work machines.

Even volunteers. Yup. The amount of colleges and hospitals and everything else you can think of looking for e.g. older retirees who are bored, or young teens who need experience or whatever, they'll take it all. Without paying them a cent. Then when they get enough of those, they start to cut back on the paid staff. The poor volunteers do not even realize that by "helping" they are putting people out of real jobs:-(. [Edit: which then continues that cycle where they have to beg for more help b/c they are in such "need" and won't someone think of the poor children, or the people undergoing cancer treatment or whatever - don't you want to... "help"?] Meanwhile the managers are seen walking around in expensive italian shoes...

Even the most non-profit activities can be weaponized to become a tool to make moar money, if only you are willing to do that to people! 🤮

Far too real.

A meeting - Ok

The boss asking a clear question - Unlikely

People actively brainstorming - Possible enough

The boss listening instead of just going with whatever he decided beforehand - Completely impossible

Not just here either

I swear every humor-based Lemmy community eventually becomes a "definitely not making strawmen to support my political views" bitchfest
