    I am surprised it’s called “America’s celebrated work ethic” - from my (Dutch) perspective, it’s notoriously terribly exploitative and bordering on dystopian for many. Is it true that people celebrate American work practices?!

      Methinks perhaps the International Business Times may value capitalism over quality of life.

        I think they especially value the poor people paid to spam their sites around until their user gets banned and they make a new one and continue.

        Seriously, ibtimes spams Lemmy like crazy.

        I think capitalism tends to be valued over life in general.

    A tone-deaf oligarch is emotionally stirred…

    It’s disturbing to hear that there are people like this CEO who think this way. But it’s important to share such news. Thank you for posting this.

    I feel bad for that working mother - as I do for so many struggling people.

    Corporate “culture” is a plague.

    Its jargon is designed to encourage self-enslavement and normalize sociopathic behavior.

      Whenever I see people promoting ‘hustle culture’ on TV, social media or books, I feel a strong urge to crush their skull with a big wrench. They are predators out to make money by fueling the insecurity of regular people.

        That’s marketing in a nutshell.
