Donny exemplifies everything wrong with corporations - they want to dictate to employees as if they are only valuable if they do as told. People learned during the pandemic that they don’t have to do exactly what they’re told to earn a living. The flexibility of working from home - not commuting, not noticing who is in the office 1st & last, etc. - allows for the true focus to be on productivity. Donnie, like many CEOs is white, middle-aged, and so far removed from the average worker that he doesn’t think it obscene to make 300%+ more than the average worker.

If you’re referring to the compensation differential between corporate CEO’s and their rank and file workers, the difference isn’t 300% (three times as much) it’s more like 30,000% (three hundred times as much).

An inanely simplistic comment about a very complex issue.

Yeah, something changed. A lot of people decided work wasn’t worth risking your life for, and that we work too many hours for too little money. That fat cats like Johnny there are living off of us and he’s no better than me or my neighbor.

Most of all, we’re tired of being seen as interchangeable widgets, or fist centers to eliminate. We. Are. People.

It's Ovah.. Moving On to Starship Earth Era.

Let's talk about how we will have 10 years to study this object that's the size of a city coming towards us from outside the solar system... What better way for folks that are from another reality place to make first contact than to slowly move to come and talk to us before they meet us. Like you'll be able to send all kinds of automated things to this city size object which most likely contains a group of folks wanting to welcome us home.

I would love to see Deutsch get off his privileged butt and work one of those jobs for one day. Or two or three of those jobs in the same day, as many working Americans must do to survive. Then he can whine about workers going soft because they don’t cheerfully line up in their thousands to be exploited and abused.
