When you look how they can't even be bothered to employ a few people to fight all that cheating in Counter Strike even though they make billions with their cases and keys and other stuff then yeah, I'm sure they also just work with the minimum of employees they need lol |
Hope Valve never goes public, this shit is basically the core problem with American capitalism, as soon as a private company goes public they instantly go to shit, they're in a desperate never ending pursuit of infinite growth and it can't just be "good" growth, it has to be the absolute best growth ever, every single damn quarter, average employees suffer and rich shareholders make billions.
It'll come to a horrific crash in a few hundred years from now because humanity population can't keep growing forever, which means growth will stagnate across the board, but hopefully the world takes its dick out of capitalisms ass before then and comes up with something new where "profitable" can be good enough and shareholders can be told to fuck off.
Discord hasn't even gone public yet, they're just preparing to, and they're already adding a bunch of absolute garbage, Lol.
And to be clear, I know this isn't unique to Microsoft, I just notice them doing it a lot more since I'm focused more on them, but I know almost every major public corporation is shedding thousands of employees every year lately, some every 6 months, it's goddamn exhausting to see how these corporations treat their employees like trash only to rehire thousands then layoff thousands again.
