Telegram? I have seen them on the drugs market channels I follow, but they are pretty rare.
If you're taking illegal performance enhancers to get you through your work day, then whatever you're doing there isn't worth it.
Idk, I’d be willing to overwork myself if it were for a really good cause, like ending hunger, or rapidly building houses that will be provided free at point of use to unhoused and low income people, etc. definitely not a normal job I’d do it fit though.
Those are the kind of excuses people at SpaceX make. When a leader fools workers into thinking they are doing unique and societal-changing work, he can push them to work for any amount of punishing hours.
The entire gaming industry runs on this mentality.
Yeah I feel that also. That’s why I believe in democratization of the workplace. Instead of obeying the whims of a single dictator-leader or small board of directors, labor should be able to collectively decide the motivations and direction of their labor power.
With such ownership of development, instead of working for someone else’s vision, we’d be able to collectively develop and manifest a vision that isn’t predicated solely on the extraction of profit, but on the collective needs and desires of those within and without the company itself, meaning those within the community who will also be affected by the decisions of the company.
But of course, as of now, this is just the rambling dreams of one person, and not an actualized reality.
That would be actual socialism, and in theory would be wonderful.
Also really depends on the frequency and reason. Did something go horribly wrong once and does this one-time effort fix it or gives enough time for a decent solution down the road? Sure, I'll put in some extra work. Don't look for me though when it's resolved, I'm on holiday with all the overtime I should've gotten. If it's a structural problem because management wants to squeeze as much money out of their employees and refuses to hire enough people... Fuck that. And yeah, corporate uses the first thing as an excuse, luring you into staying longer "one more time, we really can't do it without you".
Oh cool, so Elon has helped contribute to the adderall shortage in a roundabout way.
Ah! So just like the financial industry which is abusing those like hell
Yesterday evening I took a peek into improving my financial standing and understood very little of the whole convoluted mess called finance and the terms it uses.
I could totally understand why you'd need to take that stuff to even keep the whole picture together in your mind.
While I am not one of those people, some of the jobs in finance is basically high level mathematics and statistics.
They are forced? It's illegal to quit?
These are people who refuse to leave Twitter, no matter how bad they are treated there. Maybe they should learn to quit instead of taking drugs to deal with the job.
I know American work culture is "don't quit", but come on, there are limits... If your work place is actually insane, you should quit. :)
No wonder this Elon fucker laughs all the way to the bank.
@ajsadauskas @technology this kind of shit is all the fault of the pyramids, megalomaniacs like musk know no if they throw enough pain agony and bodies at his projects that history would eventually forget the damage and pain he caused and only remembering for the good or alleged good he has done, it's about an everlasting legacy with these lunatics.
Didn't SBF do this shit too? I wonder how widespread in various industries it is to basically have to take performance enhancing amphetamines just to keep up.
Lol, watch him try to make nerualink mandatory.
@ajsadauskas @technology Imagine being in a space capsule for months with this guy, and then have him pull this on you once you are stuck on Mars and can't do anything about it. Can't quit. Can't really protest. You'll depend on him for survival. It would be a form of slavery. I don't believe people will respond well to a harsh leader for what will seem to them like an eternity of time.
I can totally recall a story that explored this idea already.
I dunno, that's the only thing I've ever heard about SpaceX that makes it sound like it might be a chill place to work. Beats the tar out of free Fruit Loops and a Pac Man cabinet in the break room.
@ajsadauskas @technology ok, who wants to go into space with equipment made by people that can barely stay awake?
