    Yep, that’s why it’s so important that people who produce value shouldn’t be able to retain it! Silly employees.

      Right? What the hell is this article?? “Employees are so well compensated they’re lazy”. I guess we should stop paying CEOs so much money then. That’ll only make them lazy after all. Wouldn’t want our CEOs to be lazy now would we?

    Meanwhile the largest stockholders didn’t develop or engineer shit complaining from their penthouses and scenic retreats about the “lazy workers” at the company they profit off of the most, having contributed no labor or invention to it, the real do nothing welfare class collecting a check for nothing.

    And fuck off claiming their ill gotten capital they got exploiting others to invest in exploiting new others still having DONE NOTHING of actual value is somehow a contribution rather than the cyclical grift/theft it is.

    If you want to defend them for holding the means of production hostage from laborers, the entire point of capitalism, then enjoy that high grain boot leather flavor, because thats all you are, a sycophant preening for daddy capitalist thief. They’ll never let you into their clubs, you aren’t human to them, but go ahead.

    Law of unintended consequences. Get complacent thinking you have a fortune in stocks. Quality goes down. Stock value goes down. Have to work longer to make that money back.

    Achieving motivated people will always work hard no matter how rich they are, but if they are rich enough will work in what they like…that is not so bad, at the end the life is meant to live for, is not meant just to work for. And for those not achieving motivated, why not relax a bit and smell some flowers… Be happy, those who are happy working hard for the sake of acomplishment will be there…
