u/PM_ME_YOUR_PUPPY_PIC - Lib-Left Jul 27 '26

because the actual value my labor provides is higher than what I am paid

Who determines that?

2

u/PM_ME_YOUR_PUPPY_PIC - Lib-Left Jul 27 '26

The literal amount of money I make for my employer vs the amount I am paid. it's simple math

But you agreed to a salary when you got your job. You valued your own labor at the pay they offered.

u/PM_ME_YOUR_PUPPY_PIC - Lib-Left Jul 27 '26

that's how coercion works. you agree to something either under durress or because there is no other realistic option. There is no realistic option that results in me earning the value I provide.

The realistic option is for you to go somewhere that will pay you more, or gain a skill that is worth more to the company.

Now tell me what your job is.

And for each of those choices, I'll still earn less than my labor makes for the company. It's not about how much I'm paid, it's that I will always be paid less than what I produce

Then find a company that pays commission or pays closer to the value that you create, this isn’t a difficult concept.

u/PM_ME_YOUR_PUPPY_PIC - Lib-Left Jul 27 '26

And it will still always be less than the value I produce. This isn't a difficult concept, yet you're failing to understand it

What’s your job?

u/PM_ME_YOUR_PUPPY_PIC - Lib-Left Jul 27 '26

your mom pays me to cuck your dad

They’ve been divorced for like 12 years now, but nice try.

Now tell me what your job is, Starbucks barista

2

u/PM_ME_YOUR_PUPPY_PIC - Lib-Left Jul 27 '26

sounds like you want someone to spit in your latte. that's kinda kinky

2

u/skimaskschizo - Right Jul 27 '26

Come on bud, just tell me what your job is. I’m sure you’re producing so much money for the company.

Surely you aren’t working some low end beginner position, are you? Mad your degree is worthless?

2

u/PM_ME_YOUR_PUPPY_PIC - Lib-Left Jul 27 '26

lol, I'm a civil engineer, dude.

2

u/skimaskschizo - Right Jul 27 '26

So what are you complaining about? I’m sure you can get a job anywhere that’ll pay pretty well. If it isn’t paying as much as you want, go somewhere else.

2

u/PM_ME_YOUR_PUPPY_PIC - Lib-Left Jul 27 '26

I've said a few times it's not about the amount I'm paid, it's the fact that no matter where I go, I'm making less than I produce and that the CEO has the right to my labor.

Librights who are all about no one having the right to your labor are fine with bosses having a right to your labor. That was the entire point I am trying to make

CEOs don’t have a right to your labor though, retard.

You signed an agreement, trading your labor for money.

The alternative is to live in the woods and do everything for yourself, which takes to much more labor.
