US version:
I’m here for a paycheck and insurance so I can afford medication to not die.
Because I need to pay my high medical deductible, daycare expenses, mortgage, and a car payment that adds up to about $60,000 a year from my yearly income of $65,000 gross before taxes.
Oh yeah and the coffee is free, which helps, because rich people tell us, all this burden would go away if we didn’t buy Starbucks so often.
My job once gave us water coolers and coffee. At one point the coffee was a big all in one where you can make great drinks with it. Then they took it away because it cost to much. We then had kurigs. They then took away the pods because apparently we cant be trusted and people were stealing them. At least we could still bring ours in! Oh once they broke they refused to replace them so we had no more coffee. Then they took the water away as well once the company claimed it needed cutbacks because it is not doing well. Even the perks are all going away. I remember when I first started 20 years ago we got 2 holiday parties where the company rented a big venue and gave out 10, 15, 20 year anniversary gifts and bonuses and the other party was our department one. Those ended 10 years ago and not a word on anything ever coming back.
The only perk now is that they cutback so much they have no room for my department anymore and we became full remote a little over a year ago. Yay!
Remote is great but you might want to polish up your resume while the company is still semi-solvent, since it’s easier to find a new job while you’re still employed.
I am, but I am also in a tight spot since I have a kid who has 1 more year left until school starts and we can’t really afford daycare. This job has been nice since the work has also been much easier compared to 5 years ago. After that happens I am looking for something new immediately.
“Management team”, oblivious as always
Even people passionate about their work expect to be paid for it.
If I’m doing it for free, it’s going to be open source or I’m owning part of it.
You want to own what I make, I’m getting paid.
Family doesn’t make me talk to strangers on holidays.
I just loved Dave the diver so much it made me want to work in a restaurant
even the person who was paid to our that sign up… they wouldn’t be there doing that if not for the paycheck.
They also get a power trip out of it. Some people would do that for free

I’d flip the sign, and write: “Then raise our dividends, Karen Ment.”
Glad I don’t have to remind folks in this community who are the class traitors.
Oh so they want the we’re family mindset?
“Since we’re family, could you help me take care of grandma tonight?”
“Will you be at my mom’s funeral? Can you help with the flowers?”
Management could stand to take a writing course. This reads like a trainwreck
Hourly supervision sometimes fancy themselves as peers with the salaried management. This is accepted by management if not heavily reinforced.
Paycheck is literally the job description. If you want passion, hire a volunteer.
I will never understand the kind of entitled attitude that people should be expected to work in order to make you successful…
Like fuck you manager/CEO. I could not possibly care less about how much more money you get to make or how many pats on the back you get for breaking records… Why the hell should I be expected to be here for that?
The whole “it’s about helping the business succeed!” (…yeah that’s making YOU successful…)
Management spent .75$ more to create that sign.
The management team can lead by example and forgo their salaries in that case.
Thank you. I just had a shock in another community, and I got confused if I was in threadiverse or liberalSky.
Post is in the correct sub and yet everyone in the comments is taking it entirely at face value. Are you all new, or are you just playing along?
This is every single thread in Lemmy Shitpost. People explaining the joke, raging against the machine, offering their solutions, karate-chopping the air… lol
