That’s simply not true. I busted my ass for years and because I was a producer, I was kept in my role.
Eventually I wised up and left. I put in the absolute minimum effort now and make way more than I have when working hard.
Work smarter, not harder. And only work hard if it’s your own company. Hard work only goes so far and will eventually burn you out.
It’s not easy. What I found helpful is if you can separate work and personal life. Only work for money unless you start your own business.
Separating the two allows you not to care if the business does poorly, it allows you to not feel guilty when your boss fails or the business does poorly, or needs extra help but you have a date that night.
I was laid off in September from a company, started a new company on Monday, they announced layoffs on Tuesday, and found out Wednesday my job is safe. Suffice to say, companies don’t care about you so get in, cash out.
They didn’t bring a solution, just their own experience, and even that is probably a story.
Mastadon is nice. I like Bluesky better. I think if they can eventually talk between the two, they will both win.
“I don’t know enough on the topic to have an opinion.”… is what I use. I’ll even use that if I just don’t want to talk about something with someone I know doesn’t know the topic

They’re not though. They’re using that as a facade to spring families into poverty, keep them there, keep them uneducated, keep them popping out kids to feed low skilled, high risk modern slavery type jobs, and for prison.
How long should they let it soak?
Neither. 45 all the way.
I host the privacy policies for my mobile apps, a consulting site for mobile related consulting work, and a personal start page full of links I use daily.
Yikes man, so much to unpack here.
You really summed it up. So much good on that list gone poorly wrong. But hey, they made a few increments for the shareholders.
I feel like that will become illegal pretty quickly.
Had to explain that to my nephew. He couldn’t save anything because iCloud was full. His Mac had like 300gigs available, but he couldn’t save anything…
I also choose watching the shitter.
Thank you.
The religious groups still do, just less loudly.
Greed
100 percent agree. Always fight for pay, not for rhe company trying to pay you less.
