Well, time to fire the CEO then, he's become a bit too arrogant.

Well then he can start by firing all his employees and not hiring replacements. That'll show those arrogant workers!

The joke is on him. I would rather be unemployed than work in an office provided by my employer. If faced with such a choice, I would simply retire early and live off what I have saved.

In reality, he fails to understand that most startups are remote these days and you will never stop new startups from being created.

The commercial real estate collapse is coming…

...what?! Which governments are trying to increase unemployment?!?!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Google "The Reserve Army of Labour". Capitalists intentionally want some degree of unemployment to make workers more desperate for lowe wages and easier to replace.

The ones who don't like taxable income, poor and desperate population, crime increase and decrease in the general economy due to less spending. So no-one
