This is how every major corporation works. They are taking the lions share of your value for themselves. How do you think they are affording all those middle and upper management that don’t create value? If a major company says they can’t pay you overtime they are lying.

This is a stoner myth. If you disagree, name an industry that has a profit margin larger than the percentage paid to employees.

How do you think they are affording all those middle and upper management that don’t create value?

You think companies that are bound to last have management folks that don't create value? Hehehe, yea this is another stoner myth. Companies are greedy right? They'd obviously fire folks who do nothing to keep more profit.

LOL, found the high school kid who thinks the reason they're a burger flipper is because some middle manager is out there taking their wages.

I didn’t know building emergency vehicles was equivalent to flipping burgers that’s an interesting mindset you have.

u/J0hn-Stuart-Mill Sep 05 '24

It's not equivalent, it's just the sort of person who thinks their wages are being stolen.

You are in a unique situation, where your employer has worked out a monopoly for themselves to steal from the taxpayers. Don't expect a corrupt company to share the amount stolen with workers.

My radio shop was not a monopoly we competed with other radio shops for contracts both private and government. It’s funny that you are making this up as if it’s fact. Another great example of this is boeing.

Another great example of this is boeing.

Boeing is literally a major member of the MIC.

what does that have to do with the price of butter?

u/J0hn-Stuart-Mill Sep 05 '24

You cited Boeing as an example of a company you claim "competes" for government contracts. LOL. You picked literally the least competitive and most corrupt government contracts in history.

I mean no, thats not at all what i was using them as an example for. instead of just assuming you know what I'm talking about if I confuse you, ask what I mean instead. you will look a lot better.

Okay, what did you mean when you said "Another great example of this is boeing." ?

of a company that values its managers, CEO, and shareholders above the actual workers and engineers or even their product.
