Intellectual capability of career welfare individuals

How many Canadian citizens do you think get government healthcare they are not entitled to?

Maybe we could cut down on car thefts by having the government give away free cars!

Fair? There is nothing fair being an employee. Your employer doesn't have to be fair to you, at all.

My whole working career (1984 - present), on just about every job I needed some kind of overtime to bring home a decent wage.

I guess over the years I have grown slightly bitter that I was lied to and exploited.

When I was growing up, I was told over and over to do a good job. The employer will recognize that good job and I would be rewarded. It was nothing but lies.

Even though companies do not care about treating their employees well, I feel its a matter of human dignity and respect.

How can a company justify paying their employees $9 an hour, but pay the ceo tens of millions? To me, that is morally wrong, and an insult to human dignity.

See how that works? To the system you're barely scraping by. In Reality, you're livin large...

Yes, and I'm arguing that doing those things wouldn't require a very high mental capacity at all.

Because the company is run by people that have large egos. Large ego'd people think very highly of themselves. That part of Mooners joke posts is actually correct. These highly ego'd people actually believe that what they do is actually worth what they are getting, or more accurately, the 'worth' they bring to the company is worth their compensation.. So when it comes to having a new CEO, well, that CEO needs large $$$'s. You'll notice there are no peons on the Board of these companies, no one grounded in Average Reality.

As for your work ethic, the only thing that matters when you're lying in the hospital bed knowing you're going to die and there are no extra days/weeks/months coming is, are you satisfied with what you did/didn't do? Don't be ashamed to have worked hard, it's nothing to be ashamed of. Just because there are Super Smart <profession> Guys out there scamming, screwing, and generally F'ing things up to fullfil their ego trip, doesn't mean the rest of us have to be like that.

The race doesn't go to the swiftest or the smartest, it goes to who plays the game the best.
