@tosensei he's just playing a character, I consider none of this legit
-
@Hazarth yeah, thing is: it doesn't matter if you make everything worse because you _are_ an asshole, or because you _convincingly play_ an asshole.
-
@b2plane considering how strongly you are focused on your "enormous shits", you have to be pretty close to the bottom.
-
@magicMirror That's what I thought. Do we conclude @b2plane is working in an Apple store?
-
@tosensei what amazingly moral companies have you contributed to
-
divide by number of people on project
then estimate government's cut, including all the insurances and licensing crap
then subtract equally the support staff, like HR who moves all the paperwork around and makes sure you're in compliance with the government
there's no way that's profit, that's revenue
unless that's like a giant company or something
1.8b profit maybe? but they have 21b revenue? cuz otherwise the numbers don't add up -
with banking there might be a very long sales stage where they take their clients out to fancy places maybe, before they do projects, idk
you also have to take into account them flying you out and hotels and plane tickets and etc for everything, cuz that will reduce the pure profit
companies don't want a lot of profit because then taxes
it's better for the company to spend it as a "company expense" -
@jestdotty none, because in a capitalist system, there are no moral companies. but i think it's not worth the effort to try to explain to you how "actively WANTING to make the system even worse just to get on top" is different from "just being stuck in the system and trying to make the best out of it".

@tosensei in a communist system, there are no people because everybody died joke here
idk why it surprised me you'd be a communist. somehow I was expecting to be surprised, but then I was surprised that there actually was not any surprise. why does this always happen to me. how do I stop expecting too much -
@jestdotty please, tell me, where did i mention - or imply - in any way i'm a communist?
i believe i tried (and failed) several times before to explain to you that "saying one extreme is crap" does not automatically mean "the other extreme is great". -
@tosensei do u have an identity
-
@jestdotty yes, but it's a little bit too complex to break down into one single association with an abstract group like "communists".
so details about it would only confuse you. -
I feel the same but to be honest
It’s irregular that a ”normal employee” would be paid a percentage of profits.
Unless you were part of a startup with stock options as part of your salary.
To some extent I would feel it would be unfair if me and another dev made a vast difference based on one of us working for a company that struck gold -
@tosensei ur identity is "too good for others" got it
-
@jiraTicket it aligns incentives though
why work to make someone else rich? that's just self destructive
now if you get rich... suddenly you care -
@jestdotty perfect example of why it's a waste of time trying to explain this to you. your mind doesn't seem able to grasp more than two nuances of any topic.
-
@tosensei why, are you dropping subtle hints like a woman and I'm missing them?
This morning i received an email from the boss reporting their record breaking profits for 2024 by now
1.8B €
Then for other subprojects
27B €
21B €
Etc
All net profit. More than about 130B € profits just in these first 5 months of 2024
This made me realize
My 17€ an hour (GROSS income not even NET) Is pennies. Im working to literally make someone else rich
I gotta switch sides and code some crypto coin to scam people for millions asap and see how its like living like those bosses for once
