"People need to work more for less pay."
~ Nepo baby hoarding billions doing nothing
All of that CEO bonus money could provide free healthcare for the whole world!
Exactly this!!!
I have an idea!
all corporations are bad
all billionaires are bad
Closeout sale all billionaires must go!
Due to tragic, predictable and entirely preventable circumstances we are currently OVERSTOCKED on billionaires and they're passing the misery on to YOOOOUUUUU!
Are you broke? Depressed? Working your ass off and still struggling to make ends meet? Then you my friend just need to take out the billionaire class! It's free and good for you! WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO LOSE???
I call for us all to quit, and go back to the trees.
Bonobos have it all figured out. Eat, sex, sleep and repeat. We should all aspire to be more like them
I don’t disagree with the point of this post, but the image of the chainsaw in the article was completely incorrectly captioned.
It is actually a photo of an electric powered (not electric start) 2 man chainsaw (not one man) that weights 48 kg (106 lb).
So is the author not careful, or did a slop machine make it?
Also I’ve never seen of an electric start chainsaw in person and there were only a couple models in the 70s that made it to consumers and had weird removable batteries.
Will it cut a billionaire in half and how fast?
Would you recommend a better model for the job?
The little electric ones that cut through aluminum poles are probably plenty. Lithium ion power tool batteries are crazy powerful at this point so there’s no need to mess around with gas axes anymore.
They STIHL think that more hours lead to more productivity. All I know is no pay leads to finding alternative pay.
No, they don't. They are just openly lying at this point because they get high on fucking over people.
Pensions, social security and health care are all linked to wages. Proposing less pay for the work you do to save the welfare state is like proposing to smash your head with a hammer to increase cogntive abilities.
That actually sounds pretty accurate.
The cruelty is the point, not the increased productivity. Far-right work moralists think I should slice open my hand, not in an attempt at self harm, but while working with a faulty machine, to prove I am a man and better than the non-workers.
Now we need to muster all our strength for further reforms that will then generate tangible investment and growth impulses.
A+ at saying a lot of words that only have meaning to a select class and no one else.
"an overregulated economy, high energy costs, high labour costs, high taxes and a declining level of education and qualifications."
Yeah. Because self-regulation and no taxes certainly worked for, for example, America's skills and education level.
I find it amusing the CEO of a company whose employees - at a bare minimum - are awash in chainsaws has any opinion on their pay that is not in line with the employee idea of fair wages
I find it amusing they aren't afraid of us anymore. Give it more time, we'll get them afraid again. When their greed reaches the tipping point a flood of luigis will come for them.
Well he's expecting chainsaws. He'll be ready for that.
I was utterly unready for this.
Then again, I'm not a CEO.
…In the past eight years we have lost around 15 percent of our industrial output. Month after month Germany is losing around 15,000 industrial jobs
I mean, keep deporting your workforce totally works. (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
It works for them, look at how fat those pockets are
Replace ceo’s with ai.
Mmmm, no. Obliterate all ceo's AND ai.
I'm sure the timing is very coincidental and has nothing to do with the recent AFD win
People like this will happily burn the world so that they can rule over the ashes
He said the same thing a month ago: https://www.spiegel.de/wirtschaft/unternehmer-nicolas-stihl-35-stunden-woche-nicht-mehr-zeitgemaess-a-a69431e3-905a-4c8a-ba45-abdaa6dfceff
But I don't get it. Wealth doesn't really increase by working more. For skilled jobs, working longer means you are producing the same output in more time and feel worse. If you want to increase production, you need to invest in research and technology.
Hundreds of years ago, one farmer could feed a hand full of people, today it's probably thousands, thanks to modern technology. If the farmers back then would work twice as much, they could still only feed a hand full of people, but they would probably die a lot sooner.
Shush! You are not supposed to think about massively increasing productivity.
If you realize that one worker's real economic output is now 10 times as high as a few decades ago, you won't be properly scared about their screaming of demographics and how it's totally unsustainable that now one worker has to "pay" for more than 3 times the amount of non-working people.
Wait? So real economic output per capita is up by ~ +250% and still we somehow don't have any money to keep up with health care or social costs and can't even afford to keep our infrastructure from crmbling away? I wonder were all that money is going...
I'll add it to the list of reasons I'm a Husqvarna man.
The family entrepreneur from Waiblingen in southern Germany does not mince his words...
Family businessman Stihl takes a long-term view...
STIHL: €5.48bn in revenue and more than 20,000 employees
Just a small FAMILY businessman... The stilted way these pieces always try to humanize the people calling for more worker exploitation always creeps me out. Do they think the workers don't have families or something?
Unfortunately he's not an annoying leftist streamer, so we must pretend he got there through hard manual labor, and nothing else.
Chainsaws could be turned into very effective guillotines. Just saying.
Shit stain human
MBAs too, while we are at it. They like to play cookie clicker with the global wealth distribution and it is insane.
