Mildly Infuriating

All of that CEO bonus money could provide free healthcare for the whole world!

all corporations are bad

all billionaires are bad

They STIHL think that more hours lead to more productivity. All I know is no pay leads to finding alternative pay.

"an overregulated economy, high energy costs, high labour costs, high taxes and a declining level of education and qualifications."

Yeah. Because self-regulation and no taxes certainly worked for, for example, America's skills and education level.

"People need to work more for less pay."

~ Nepo baby hoarding billions doing nothing

I call for us all to quit, and go back to the trees.

I find it amusing the CEO of a company whose employees - at a bare minimum - are awash in chainsaws has any opinion on their pay that is not in line with the employee idea of fair wages

I'm sure the timing is very coincidental and has nothing to do with the recent AFD win

People like this will happily burn the world so that they can rule over the ashes

I am entirely convinced that if every billionaire drops dead today, there will be peace on earth tomorrow.

The family entrepreneur from Waiblingen in southern Germany does not mince his words...

Family businessman Stihl takes a long-term view...

STIHL: €5.48bn in revenue and more than 20,000 employees

Just a small FAMILY businessman... The stilted way these pieces always try to humanize the people calling for more worker exploitation always creeps me out. Do they think the workers don't have families or something?

…In the past eight years we have lost around 15 percent of our industrial output. Month after month Germany is losing around 15,000 industrial jobs

I mean, keep deporting your workforce totally works. (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

In 2025, STIHL generated €5.48 billion in revenue and employed 20,246 people worldwide. Founded by Andreas Stihl in 1926, the company is celebrating its 100th anniversary. Nikolas Stihl is the founder's grandson.

Undoubtedly never worked a day in his life. Which also, undoubtedly he would argue about and tell us about that day when he was seven, his grandfather made him carry a sack of nuts and bolts from one side of the factory to the other.

I'll bet that one day still sticks in his memory as if it was some form of torture.

But he thinks everyone that does it daily for hours should do it more for free.

I hope that this badly affects their company before he dies.

I don’t disagree with the point of this post, but the image of the chainsaw in the article was completely incorrectly captioned.

It is actually a photo of an electric powered (not electric start) 2 man chainsaw (not one man) that weights 48 kg (106 lb).

So is the author not careful, or did a slop machine make it?

Also I’ve never seen of an electric start chainsaw in person and there were only a couple models in the 70s that made it to consumers and had weird removable batteries.

Chainsaws could be turned into very effective guillotines. Just saying.

Kill capitalists. Save the planet. Simple.

I have an idea!

Now we need to muster all our strength for further reforms that will then generate tangible investment and growth impulses.

A+ at saying a lot of words that only have meaning to a select class and no one else.

The CEO of Stihl chainsaws wants the chainsaw makers to work more for less.

Bold strategy.

90s mosh pit intensifies

I'll add it to the list of reasons I'm a Husqvarna man.

Financial obesity is neurotoxic, an existential threat to any society that tolerates it, and needs to cease being celebrated, rewarded, and positioned as an aspirational goal.

Corporations are the only ‘persons’ which should be subjected to capital punishment, but trillionaires should be forced to transition into billionaires, and billionaires should be euthanised through taxation.

Business: we need "additional incentives for research and development"

Govt: ok, this will help grow the economy.

Employees: we need additional incentives to work due to eroding wages and increasingly shitty work conditions. This will also help grow the economy.

Business & Govt: Get fucked!

Parasite leeches. All of them. They use far, far more than their share of resources, and give zero in return.

Fuck em.

If he likes free stuff so much, why does he charges for his chainsaws?

MBAs too, while we are at it. They like to play cookie clicker with the global wealth distribution and it is insane.

Let's update that saying about capitalists selling us ropes.
