Is this supposed to be serious or is the term "bro" used so heavily to criticize/call simplistic their take on it?
It's a parody of an ancient meme (knowyourmeme link) where in the original, the rant above is instead "That's my world without you bro."
Also not that it justifies the pay disparity but do people really think there is zero labor involved in management? Cause even then, it comes with a crapton of liability risk under respondeat superior. Not sure everyone wants to be personally sued for every negligent mistake their coworkers make.
Doesn't seem to be like it's trying to be 100% accurate but the underlying message it tries to convey is probably serious (that there's a class of people who mostly make money because they have money to own things).
It does have "stoner revelation" vibes.
I mean, you'll never get 100% of the value of your labor unless you freelance or become your own boss, simply because if you did, there would be no incentive for companies to hire you.
No one expects 100% return for labor. They expect fair pay for fair work. The fact is that employee wages have been flat or declining for 50yrs, while productivity has more than doubled and profits gave gone up 5x. Companies are getting 10x out of their workers then they were in the 70s, and paying everyone less.
If the wage line kept going up with the productivity and profit line, people would be chill. When profits go up 23%, exec comp goes up 230% and worker wages go up 2.3%, thats the problem.
I agree with you but I have also seen the prices of the housing market rise while interest rates went down.
Wages can rise or products can become cheaper.
Problem is that resources become scarce. Things out of plastic are cheap. Things out of wood have become much more expensive.
As someone who is a floor manager partly responsible for 50 people if you think "the boss" does nothing take a moment and think about the dumbest cunts you have ever worked with and the dumbest laziest ones you currently work with.
Those people are their problem.
One person can literally eat my whole day by being a jackass for 3 seconds.

Yep, they are all managers.
I have worked with some real idiots, people so stupid you wonder how many tries it takes them to get their pants on right. Those guys ain't so bad.
By far the worst people I've worked with are the people who are smart enough to know they're smarter than most, but not so smart as to realize they're pretty fucking stupid. Those people claw their way in to management then make life miserable for as many people as they can, all while thinking they're doing just great.
Oh that happens too, on my management team one of us is a hapless idiot.
Yes, 3 glorious, beautiful seconds. I know how to make it look like an accident. I can make it look like someone else. I can bring this entire building to a halt with one simple mistake.
What was that about working this weekend?
Its now mandatory.
My boss works a lot harder than I do. I know he is the exception rather than the rule, but still. The man is working himself into an ulcer and an early grave.
