God it’s so transparent. I’m a software engineer, and I have first hand built software that has made my business teams and execs wealthy. I have sat there and watched them buy new audis and new houses while I’m told “sorry we can’t afford a raise this year”. And I know I do better than most being in software, but man do they want to keep us arguing about that while they go and buy everything while we squabble.
Release an “update” with a “bug” that can only be fixxed with a raise.
Nothing goes wrong:
“Man, what do I even pay these IT guys for???”

I make my company 100-200k a month. I make around 4k a month. No performance bonus, nothing.
Meanwhile the higher ups that do bare minimum are raking it all in. I love our society.
So I figured I’m also going to do the bare minimum. Good thing my managers aren’t actually competent in IT so I can set my own deadlines (with a big juicy margin for doing fuck all and getting money for it)
John Deere CEO, John C May, took $23 million in bonuses this year.
He also laid off almost a thousand guys just in my town alone.
Can we eat the rich yet?
