Great way to have half your staff quiet quit, and probably make at least a couple mad enough to really fuck some shit up.
Stupid tech bros think they are entitled to hard work and loyalty, they arent, it must be earned.

The company I work for did this last year.
Unfortunately the tech industry can get away with this shit because the job market is a fucking nightmare and tech bros all think they’re too smart/skilled to need a union (neither of which is true).
4 hoursTo date, I have not heard a single CEO talk about where the money will come from if no one is employed.
How can consumers consume if they don’t have any money?

that’s for someone else to worry about.
Seriously if you talk to these people they live their lives financial quarter by quarter. there’s no plan for 2+ years down the line, they can’t think that far ahead. They’re all like this. It’s all about the now. make money now, release a product now, no future, no updates, now now now. This is why LLM’s appeal so much to them, it can provide that “now” that they crave.

When there’s a 20 million dollar golden parachute when fail why would you care about the next quarter…

Because these drug and AI addled idiots refuse to or can’t think more than a quarter ahead at a time. As there are no consequences for the executive caste, why should they?

Apparently long as bots are buying from them they care. The goal is keep the stock in green Apparently they don’t need consumers for that.

That’s exactly what people should be doing anytime their company boasts about record profits/revenue yet halts pay raises or even has it lower than the rate of inflation.
In my old job I just allocated a percent of my day towards job applications until I finally got out. Morons thought I wouldn’t be upset with a 15% pay cut over 3 years of working my ass off.

“It’s a question of motivation. If I bust my ass and Initec ships a few more units I don’t see another dime. So where’s the motivation?”
It’s insane that companies haven’t gotten this hint in the 27 years since Office Space was released.

They can’t change the incentives without re-inventing how companies work. They’re just structured in a way that gives bad incentives like that. And nobody wants to take a risk on their dime, or break the thing that makes them money, and by now it’s all basically set in stone. Until the whole system breaks and new things get organized in a new system probably.

Not wanting to starve is also a great motivator. Now that you’re struggling either way the motivation goes away.

Quiet quit, show up a bit late, stretch your breaks by a few minutes, leave early, steal stuff, don’t do anything that doesn’t directly contribute to your job, volunteer for nothing, refuse to tithe to whatever their stupid charity is, max out every benefit, max out any family leave, file official complaints to HR, break stuff, don’t refill anything, do no maintenance on anything, umionize, etc.

Build your own AI agent and sell it to your company. It only works when you are around, and profit the money, they are investing it with.
