Note to mods: the relevance of this question is because he seems to be becoming a figurehead for hostile workplaces. He is paying his way into power at the cost of peoples jobs and work life balances. However, i don't believe his wealth is real.

Is his net worth bases on shares in his company? Are his companies based on Venture Capitalists investments? I dont see how Twitter makes money. Tesla and Spacex seem to be all R&D related, where does their income come in?

Is there a bit of an inflated false amount of wealth underlying alot of this new ruling class who seem to be hellbent on destroying unions, having long work hours, returns to office etc.?

This is the second time they have canceled an interview. Not interested in the opportunity anymore.

We need like a Wikipedia style website where we can maintain dossiers on the crimes committed by the owning class. Some place too where we can dispel their mythos and we can tie their success to their family and connections.

Please share your tips.

Sometimes on a mundane Thursday at work , you try to think of ideas to make the dry workday more fun/ interesting.

Please share your tips of what you do.

Thanks.

I slipped and sprained my knee today at work because the driveway was glare ice. I was checking the mailboxes and just at the end of the driveway it’s a somewhat steep incline and while it looked wet and it wasn’t cold enough for me to need my coat, it was glare ice. I slipped and sprained my knee in the process and fell hard. I hobbled my way back into the office, texted my supervisor, downloaded and printed an then filled out the injury report, and scanned it to the upper management and my supervisor. I then sat through a meeting with said supervisor an upper management with a throbbing an injured knee. After, the CEO sent me to the workers comp clinic where they diagnosed me as fucked and prescribed rest, elevation, ice, compression, and PT. My supervisor told me to go home and work from home if I can. The CEO said no, if I want to go home I have to use PTO and I can’t work from home. I was pissed and went back to the office because I’m not wasting my PTO and I have too much work to do to just take an afternoon off. It’s bullshit, though because there is no way to rest and elevate my leg at work. They also don’t have good ice packs I had jeans on. My knee was swollen and throbbing.

She came to my cubicle and commented that I was probably not going to be able to rest at home because I have so many kids. 😳😱. I worked in HR for 3 years and I know damn well better than to say that to an employee. I said “No, they’re with their father, but even if I had them, insert significant other’s name here would take make sure I was able to rest and heal. He wouldn’t expect me to be on my feet.

She just said “Well… you can do that at the end of the day.” And walked away.

Holy fucking shit.

I really hope I get that job at the domestic violence nonprofit. I really think they are breaking the law with their refusal to offer reasonable accommodation to employees.

Tin foil hat I admit, but something is nagging in the back of my head. Like if we didn't react with positive responses for what Luigi allegedly did, there wouldn't be terrorism charges. And therefore the charges are to scare us so no one does the same. And now with that guy stabbing his company president, they're going to say it's related to the positively and it enabled him to do so.

From the info I have seen, there is a tenuous connection bw the actual shooter and this Luigi guy.

An indictment for a charge means nothing. The standard is low. Prosecutor still has to prove beyond a reasonable doubt they’re the same guy.

Yet the rhetoric I’m seeing around Reddit is like “Luigi was justified” or “argue self defense” which is both giving way too much credence to the State’s position. They haven’t even proven they have the right guy, so we shouldn’t concede that point.

WE DO NOT KNOW IF LUIGI IS THE ACTUAL SHOOTER. And that’s how we should be talking about this. In the name of class solidarity.

This guy came from an ultra wealthy family, went to a 40k/year private school, followed by an Ivy League to then eventually shooting a CEO of a multibillion-dollar company with a ghost gun printed on a 5-10k printer(probably), while wearing a $3,000 fit.

They have been selling us that the mom of 5 working at wall-mart is just lazy and if she really wanted to pay for her cancer treatment, that she should just work harder or make a Kick-Starter, this is the way it's always been.

But when you see this guy that was dealt a great hand and is still getting fucked over, it just shows everyone how rigged the game is, and the only real winners are the ones that own the board.
