    Apparently he’s the same guy who said that millennials can’t afford homes because they eat avocado toast.

      Like couldn’t be that jobs don’t think we’re worth a livable wage and that they union bust or coworkers can’t be convinced to do so…like I want things better for myself but without others banding together at any job I get it never will…

        No, no according to this CEO. When he was young he worked 7 days a week non stop till he got a house. Kids nowadays just don’t want to work. They want to spend $40 on avocado toast and coffee and not work. Definitely not salary growth for workers being horrible.

          Yea can’t be the fact they make excess that used to be taxed appropriately that forced living wages. Not to mention greedflation on necessities like meds and groceries(not including that avocado toast which is a dumb point bc that’s cheap af). Don’t forget those like me with severe social anxiety that keeps getting worse ontop of being audhd that isn’t “high need” enough to be considered for disability or nothing(tho the latter could be me overthinking while in the middle of a autistic burnout from pandemic and other life shiz up to this point…)

    “We need to see pain in the economy”

    “There’s been a systematic change where employees feel the employer is extremely lucky to have them”

    “claimed that shift is hitting productivity in the sector”

    This attitude is an actual mental illness. Productivity is killing us, killing our climate. What we need is LESS PRODUCTIVITY and more leisure, more time to care for one another, focus on food production, distribution, healthcare, and education, things that involve taking care of other humans. Why should everyone everywhere forever have to live on the razor’s edge of their ability to keep up with life?

      These are productive pursuits.

        We need to end the habit of prioritizing things based on whether or not they are “productive.” It’s ok to be unproductive. It’s ok to be lazy and fuck around and socialize and just generally hang out helping people.

        Sorry, this is a particularly sensitive issue for me right now where our Chief Nursing Officer acts like if we have time to have any conversation with our colleagues, then that means we have enough time to manage one more patient. When the fuck did being able to have a little downtime at work become such a terrible offense?

        (Yes, we’re unionizing. Because absolutely fuck this mentality.)

    Let the pain start with this entitled asshole, he should be permanently unemployed and lose all his assets to fund those in need.

      He’s been saying what every central banker has been saying as well. It’s why they’ve been raising rates, they just phrased it in slightly softer language.

      They will solve every economic crisis by taking from the working class and funneling that money to the rich. It’s how they fixed the GFC, COVID and now inflation. The wealthy are not to be made to ‘suffer’.

    "If you didn’t like what I said then I’m sorry you see it that way. But if you did like what I said - you’re welcome. wink "

    Straight out of the neoliberal / right-wing playbook.

    Should we care what this guy has to say? I swear half the headlines these days are about the most random people who have opinions that don’t matter

      He’s a billionaire and president of some financial group. His opinion directly affects hundreds. It’s not some dickhead on the street this guy wields power. You have an opinion that doesn’t matter because you aren’t in a position of actual power. This guy is.

        While I hear you my complaint mostly comes from the idea that there’s a difference between awareness and outrage porn. In my experience on lemmy (and the website formally known as the front page) the tendency has been toward the latter. If we wanted to share awareness then the focus would be on an analysis on the opinions of all the dickheads with big bank accounts rather than one-off interviews. If it were about awareness there would be suggestions of materials, yt videos, and books to read. If it were about awareness then it would be about showcasing which dickheads with big bank accounts are slightly less terrible than the others so we can rally behind them to begin to affect change

    If he said that nonsense to me in person i would obliterate him into a new dimension. You can tell he surrounds himself with “Yes men” because he is completely out of touch with reality.
