Work Reform

Facebook really flipped the script on how to act online. They made it acceptable to just post all your personal information online despite all previous advice to do the opposite.

Good luck applying to jobs without going on the internet in 2026.

That’s why those pieces of shit made me do a credit check before I joined, huh? Oh I’m getting back on GlassDoor to update my review now. I thought it was scathing before. Just wait.

People deserve to exist even in imperfect worlds. Fight like hell to make them better though

Sure seems like it. Not like these same algorithmic salary calculations will be used for the C-Suite.

I dont want a link, I dont want a image. Just post the text.

I was seriously just about to make a comment if anyone read the article because like, what data would even be usable in this way? Like, Indeed has you input what your desired salary is, and maybe my credit card company sells my spending habits, what else would they use?

The article references the typical data collection practices that companies have been using for about a decade now, just with AI tools instead of manually or other kinds of bot collection. So, your social media presence (whether you'll be a unionization risk), spending habits via companies that you should already not be buying from if you can help it (like Amazon or Walmart), and any other kind of public information on income level and previous employment. The bigger thing is for gig workers (which most liberals on here don't give a shit about) whose wages can be much more easily altered since their employers can control their hourly rates depending on how many jobs that are available or that any given worker has taken on as well as how many potential workers can take on these jobs. For most people, this is nothing new, but yeah the highly adaptable nature of AI tools means that groups of people whose jobs are literally facilitated through these systems are at high risk of exploitation (as per usual).

Headline culture.

We lost 50% of our team this year. They all cited a shitty work environment as a reason. (Like most people who quit.)

I'm trying to get the boss chain to understand that it takes a fresh person a year to be fully operational. If you have to replace someone, it directly costs you money, let alone the likely higher salary.

If you as a boss feel like your team is "underperforming", it's your job - not the team's - to come up with KPIs and evaluate if your feeling is just greed or if there's an actual issue, and if there is, it's also your job to remedy it. You need a strategy for that - you know, the kind of thing a boss does.

But since only sales reps get promotions because they're good at selling themselves and bring direct income, we're all fucked. They only know competition and their responsibility stops after their signature, be it a sale or a job contract.

But why do that when you can wantonly exploit your workforce for obscene profits? /s

See, they don't need the best workers, isn't like they are going to be partaking of the services or products they are shoveling, they just need obedient workers who will meet a minimum threshold of quality; anyone who falls below the threshold can be used as an example to ensure the rest keep working.

They aren't delusional, they are owning class capitalists and their incentives are fundamentally different from ours as working class people.

As someone not super familiar with Uber, how does a lowball offer work? Can riders ask for low price rides in exchange waiting longer or something?

The price might be slightly lower but will be optimized to be the bleeding edge of what you're willing to spend.
