a small company that will not exploit them and that will protect them.

Cute that you believe this

[–] nyan@lemmy.cafe 13 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Small companies vary widely in their morals. The best ones might indeed protect and teach, rather than exploit, a young worker. The worst ones . . . are worse than any large company, and you can't always tell from outside which type you've got. And family companies can be just as bad as any other small company, alas.

[–] sunzu@kbin.run 2 points 4 months ago

I am sure some employees of mega corps also happy with their treatment too

The point being is that it is an exception to the general savagery of "legal persons"

[–] MapleEngineer@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 months ago (2 children)

It's got to be stressful to be so cynical. I'm sorry.

[–] cygnus@lemmy.ca 10 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Remember that this was YOUR family's company. Family businesses writ large definitely don't have a good reputation as far as their non-relative workers are concerned. At least with a megacorporation you can expect some guardrails that will limit their abuses.

megacorporation you can expect some guardrails that will limit their abuses

i would not expect that tbh but yeah megacorps are serious about managing their liability, they will generally avoid crime unless they can get away with it.

most small biz owners are too stupid to understand liability so they just do as they please which is generally either a crime or breach of various civil laws and regulations.

Like the mega corporations that have children cleaning equipment at night in abattoirs?

[–] sunzu@kbin.run 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

At least I know who I am deal with and able to fight the good fight

It is a lot harder being fucked while living a delusion IMHO

[–] MapleEngineer@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

You seem really dedicated to being miserable. That really sucks for you.

[–] sunzu@kbin.run 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

are you going to keep up the bootlicking, boy?

[–] MapleEngineer@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

So much anger. It must really eat you up inside. I'm sorry that you're like this. It's got to be very stressful.

[–] sunzu@kbin.run 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

just doing my job spotting the bootlicker.

it is a public service :)

[–] MapleEngineer@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I'm sorry that you're so angry. I really feel sorry for you. I wish you were happy.

[–] sunzu@kbin.run 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)
[–] MapleEngineer@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I hope you find a way to be happy.

[–] sunzu@kbin.run 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)
[–] MapleEngineer@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

That's good. I hope you have a good day.

[–] sunzu@kbin.run 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Hurt a boomer, that's always a good day :)

[–] MapleEngineer@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

That's what it takes to make you happy? Thinking that you've hurt someone? That is a truly sad existance.

I hope you some day find a way to be happy.

[–] sunzu@kbin.run 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Got you triggered enough for this circle jerk dear haha

[–] MapleEngineer@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

You're projecting. I've been checking in with you between whipper snipping around my wife's gardens. I've spent the entire day outside in the sun under a clear blue sky and now I'm watching YouTube videos and having a cold drink.

You really are a sad, angry, pathetic person. I hope you eventually find happiness.

[–] sunzu@kbin.run 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

As long as you sleep well at night lol

[–] MapleEngineer@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I will sleep very well after I have a shower to wash off all the grass I've been touching all day.

I really am sorry that you're so angry and miserable.

[–] sunzu@kbin.run 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Muhh booma.. you are just butthurt for being called out for bootlicking.

You got a lot to learn about how the world works or don't lol but bootlicking is no way to live a life for an adult man.

[–] MapleEngineer@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

I'm still touching grass. I'm touching so much grass that it clogged up my trimmer.

My son, whose report card I just got and found out that he made honour role, just came out to find me to show me a beautiful French rolling pin he made on the lathe. I just had to add string to my trimmer so I thought I would check in on how your rage is going. I see it's still going strong.

I hope that one day you can find real happiness like I have.
