Seven years guillotine. No trial.

The problem isn't even this particular pos, its that almost all rich people think this way.

He is sorry. Sorry he got caught.

[–] Proprietary_Blend@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago

Whew. Thank goodness that passed

CEOs shouldn’t apologize for fireable offenses. They should just be fired.

Who the fuck cares if he claims to be “sorry”? This wasn’t a case of awkward phrasing or poorly chosen words. It’s a reflection of how he thinks, and will continue to think. Even if he loses his job (which he won’t), he’d only be replaced by someone with the same attitude.

They are SO HORNY at the thought of not paying wages.

It's not even that since they usually end up paying more for AI even when it produces far worse results. The rich just hold a contempt towards the working class and would rather the money they'd use for salaries go to their rich tech company friends in the form of AI-use invoices

The biggest clue was when they started referring to us as a "resource". We're just another input on their spreadsheet.

I used to work at a place that actually changed the name from Human Resources Dept. to Human Capital Dept. and none of the higher ups could figure out why that pissed everybody off.

[–] errer@lemmy.world 3 points 39 minutes ago (1 children)

Honestly people being either a “resource” or “capital” still makes people sound like they’re vespene gas or something

[–] ggtdbz@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 12 minutes ago

Frankly “people team” is one I’ve been seeing and I think that’s disingenuous or condescending or something. I don’t know what I think it should be.

[–] devolution@lemmy.world 21 points 4 hours ago

Sorry he got caught.

[–] one_old_coder@piefed.social 45 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

"Sorry not sorry that it was recorded." Why do they waste their time asking for forgiveness?

The Mario Bros of this world know that these rich fucks aren't being sincere.

Saying the quiet part out loud.

“Sorry I told you what I actually think”

[–] hot_mocha_decaf@lemmy.cafe 5 points 4 hours ago

He meant "vulgar pagans".
