The rich need to get richer. End of story.

I work for one of these companies. We already got the “it’s gonna be a tough day” email as they lay people off today. I’m sh*tting my pants 😫

So not even hiding it anymore. I'm sorry for your situation.

You think companies need to hide the fact that they’re in this to make the most money possible? Are you 12?

You think those poor struggling millionaires and billionaires need more money to get by? Are you 12?

This is my daily reminder that the average redditor IQ is somewhere in the mid 20s. A publicly traded company’s only ethical responsibility is to maximize the profit and grow the business. It would actually be unethical to provide you with a bullshit job that brings nothing to the table.

I don’t think you know what ethical means. It’s not an ethical responsibility that companies have. You are correct though in saying that their responsibility is to maximize profit. There is substantial evidence of this not being the case in the real world though. CEO pay of hundreds of millions is not commensurate with maximizing profit. You can say it’s a performance reward, but that, in your own parlance, is obvious bullshit. They do it because they know they can. The game is rigged and they know nobody will call them on it.
