I drink your milkshake! a metaphor for capitalism

Annnd it all boils down to, your employer is paying you an agreed upon amount for you all to, in exchange, provide a designated and also agreed to service. If you didn’t agree with the terms, why take the job?

because their terms are the thing thats broken, not us slackers.

work is not a moral activity. there were some hard working nazis...

im paid by the hour regardless of how little work i do.

We don’t employ nazis, do you? If you want to be paid what you are worth, work on commission.

So you’re saying they changed the terms of employment after you were hired?

thats what they should do. pretending to work is wide spread, and this isnt the first job where ive done + seen it.

 

[rickyb]

no but they should consider it bc lots of guys slack with their current terms.

a strong work ethic doesnt make you a good person

i think its far more moral that me and other coworkers slack than work hard. this system is shrouded in secrecy. alot of things are kept secret from workers. workers dont have a basic understanding of economics or even democracy for that matter. all by design too. people dont know what tyranny looks like, what terrorism is, what democracy is. i think most people have an image of what these words are from the powers that be, but cant connect them to anything with their own thought process.

alot of people know that in this BS system somebody is getting stinking rich at our expense. even if they dont know what the solution is, or the facts, they correctly sense this.

the employer certainly is not acting responsibly.

if the employer wanted us to work harder, they would pay us by how much we produce, which might not work either because then the quality would drop.

the true test of a mans character is how much he sacrifices himself doing the right thing, and letting go of the outcome.

You don’t have much content in your character, do you?

Not alone, but it’s a part of being a decent person.

So in other wards, you’re saying that your word is worthless.

Even though Ricky talks a good game (in his mind), he still wants everything handed to him on a platter.

maybe your a poor judge of character

you know in state communism, they probably had terms that workers agreed to as well.

doesnt mean it worked out in practice.

depends what your working on.

lots of work causes more problems than it solves.

Well I used to think you were a good kid.

Lol. You totally dodged what I said.

can you quote MLK more often? it'd be good for you

 

[rickyb]

Lol. You totally dodged what I said.

thought it was ridiculous. i rarely lie.

Lol. Rarely?

 

[rickyb]

Lol. Rarely?

theres a difference between lying, and an idea you disagree with.

i think the terms of employment are ridiculous to begin with, so i dont blame the workers who pretend to work. i blame the employers who set the terms.

Then you shouldn’t take the job if you don’t agree.
