    I’ll bet $50 this “CEO” has very few “employees.” Maybe just one. Which makes the screenshot message even sadder.

      OK yeah. He is a recent grad from Dartmouth and his company markets exclusively to college students and boasts $500,000 in sales.

      This might sound like a lot but it’s not enough to have many employees. He’s essentially a self-employed kid acting as the sole managing member of a disregarded entity and his “Pakistani employee” is likely a 1099 gig-worker, not a w2 employee.

      So, big grain of salt here. It’s a kid cosplaying as a big-shot CEO on social media. Maybe don’t luigi this one until he’s had the chance to actually be a colossal piece of shit.

        I’m not familiar, but those both sound like visas for foreign workers? From the original post, I don’t think the developer is living in a western country. I think it’s outsourced to a Pakistani living in Pakistan.

          Just the tax forms. I should’ve said [sub-] contractor instead of 1099 sorry. Calling a contractor an employee publicly on social media is a hilarious way to owe back taxes but he has no experience with that yet. He just started and thinks he knows everything.

      Bonus points if your company mandates return to office, lays off people after they return to office, and then builds a nice new office overseas in a completely opposite timezone to fill with replacements. Then make the people there physically sit in that brand new office… and make them report to the people here.

      The job? Data entry.

        Something something a lot of people falling for talking points put forward by people invested in commercial real estate because if companies start going fully remote the value of commercial real estate will collapse. Combine that with a mix of people who own these companies also being invested in commercial real estate so it’s self serving and companies just in general wanting to have more control over employees.

    I have said this in another post, Western employers love to hire non-Western immigrants because non-Western cultures are still traditional and conditioned to obey authority and hierarchy, and to value work more. And more importantly, this results in a less class conscious population, so non-Westerners are less likely to complain and unionise than their Western counterparts. While the minimum wage in most Western countries is peanuts these days when one considers the worsening cost of living, immigrants think Western minimum wage is CEO-level salary when compared to their home country’s basic pay, and thus don’t complain for being overworked for little pay by Western standards. Needless to say, Western companies exploit non-Westerners because the latter don’t know better.

      That may be true, but that’s not what’s happening here.

      What’s happening is that person is so desperate for any income in a place that is an active war zone to support their family. Earning more money than they ever could there, where there in literally no income.

    Biggest way to save on payroll, take the highest paid employee, and just offshore that position. Going to guess that’s probably the CEO.

    And honest question, the fuck do most CEOs even do, exactly? Not there ones working at startups or whatever… Why are they given seemingly dictator power over the company? Why not remove the position and use democracy to run the company…?

      They supposedly make decisions to constantly raise the returns for investors. I.E., profit, and stock price.

      That’s it. And when the investors lose confidence in that ability, the CEO “resigns,” and gets an obscene “Retirement Package.” on the way out. The “Golden Parachute.” On top of “Retainment Bonuses” to not to quit while successful, other arbitrary bonuses, travel expenses, figuring out how to not raise wages for employees, suppressing unionization attempts, sacrificing infants to Mammon, having sex with underage girls/boys, etc.

      This entire culture is obscene.

        But they almost never get prosecuted for willful, and intention malfeasance.

        You have to be caught stealing from other rich people to get prosecuted as a CEO, or be so obviously guilty the populace would riot.

      They’re supposed to be the one that lead the company to become better and bring in changes, and take the fall if something happened. They make decision for the company. But often its result in someone of nepotism/cronyism background with the boards and just sit there being useless, or someone the board of directors merely bring in to take the fall. The position itself is very useful for small private limited company, as the founder might not have the expertise to lead and inspire confidence from the worker.

        “Better,” meaning higher profits and stock price.

  • This is the corporate behavior Libertarians never want to discuss. Their Elysium where corporations treat everyone well and don’t destroy things out of some unforced understanding that to do so would place them at a major disadvantage is a farce. There will always be disparity, and corporations will leverage that to pay the poorer less than the better off, dump waste where there are no rules, and drive people to keep working while bombs fall near their homes.

      No Libertarians have that philosophy.

      Their philosophy is “No one should stand in my way to make profit, and I should never have to spend one cent on anything I don’t want to.”

      Libertarians are hardcore Republicans who are smart enough to not state they are Republicans. They are True Believer Objectivists, and there is nothing admirable about them.
