The original intent of corps was to be progressive. They would close after a job was completed. Somewhere our elders decided no, we should keep them open and shovel trash into peoples lives and keep them down with employee abuse and corruption.

Side note:
My favorite corruption story was when that oil platform blew up and years before we found out that the MMS (which oversees contracts between O&G and the US GOVT) was having sex and cocaine parties in the offices.

O&G and ALL INFRASTRUCTURE should be nationalized and heavily regulated.

Our parents dropped the ball and it smashed tho.

Good.

You don’t get to those levels without being a grade A+ rigged capitalism bootlicker.

That’s what you get for dedicating your life to sociopathic, for profit corporations.

“Aw shucks Colin, just gotta work harder than those 16 hour days next year if you want that big raise, ahyuck!”

The real villains, the owner class, are untouchable, they won and are effectively destroying human habitability of earth unopposed to keep running up their ego scores in the face of the Armageddon of their making, unless you count empty rhetoric.

There’s no victory to be had, and no hope if you’re paying attention.

So yeah, I’ll take a little joy when the truth is inflicted on their doting Stormtroopers who enact their sociopathic orders, who will still believe in the cause no matter how hard daddy capitalist slaps them around.

That’s literally every company.

As a manager, you get frustrated because no matter how good an employee is,they won’t let you rate them as high as they should be, for…reasons.

The reason why is more that you have to justify top performmers against their peers and against their role responsibilities. That takes work and many managers dont want to do it.

It’s why I focus on work life balance over everything else. No point in giving away weekends and nights for an average review. Average is perfectly rine with me, but that’s also what I give now.

Slave must work hard but slave must not be rewarded for that labour… That’s holy profit and it belongs to shareholders after top execs get their cut obvi.

This is why every day more people are finding out that providing good service is for idiots who have no self respect.

The priest caste of capitalism - the economists - do not understand why lowly humans will not sacrifice their lives to the Great Eternal and Unaging Corporations.

I was actually told during a review that they couldn’t rank me higher because then they’d have to give me more money. My boss said I deserved it, but they didn’t have the money to give it to me.

I started looking for a new job that day.

And yet they always seem to have enough money for executive bonuses and excursions…

Used to work for CenturyLink. The year they took away our Christmas bonus is the same year the company really took a nosedive.

CEO got a 20 billion million dollar bonus, enough to cover our Christmas bonuses and still give him 15 million.

Not to mention hiring the always more expensive replacement dev.

I had something similar! But my manager was a former dev that I worked for that didn’t know how to manage and tried to convince me that I didn’t deserve it.

I got a 30% raise moving elsewhere.

My wife’s company does this overtly.

Raises are based on performance scores, they were prohibited from giving top scores for any category, because “nobody’s perfect.”

But when asked what could be done better there’s never any answer.

Psst!

Its because they don’t want to raise their pay, and also want the employee to blame themselves for not getting the pay raise/promotion instead of their greedy employer.

But don’t tell anyone. Its a secret!

another reason I heard is it’s also another tool to give the company wiggle room to say they’re not in the best state they could be, that there’s still room for growth. under the current system, companies have to keep growing and keep appearing to have the potential for growth, or die

Unless you’re telling your sick grandmother she looks great, deception as a standard practice makes you a deceiver. They’re clearly comfortable with that, though.

Yes. I work at a power plant in a large department. The best “ratings” that dictates our bonus multiplier is limited to five people because there are certainly only five people whose performance exceeds expectations. /s

We abolished the system where your manager has to place you and your colleagues on an untruthful scale.

Now your managers can tell the truth, but your managers’ manager places you and your colleagues on an untruthful scale! Very different!
