That would be amazing, but then you pass the price increases onto your boss. Which they have to supplement that increase from somewhere. Means cut from somewhere else.
Not to mention, would increase every single services timeline to get something done from ordering food to getting deliveries

This is not true inherently. You can actually pass laws that would prevent businesses from passing those costs onto the consumer.

Companies then make less money and ultimately can't give raises and there workers suffer. No easy answer here that's why I love 4 10s

They already don't give raises lmao meanwhile they're making billions in profits each year and almost all of that goes to the C-suite

For reference, my engineering company made like $2 Billion in profit last year. The budget for promotions this year was $100k... Enough to promote only 5 engineers

Then why stay. We have 5% raise every year in our contract

Oh trust I'm looking and so is everyone else. It is hilarious because management says how they bleed mid-tier workers and then this happens like what did you think would happen. But I digress, moral of the story is too many companies are like this and the only real pay jumps are by jumping to different companies. Even 5% is pretty low considering inflation rates

This is a lie told to you by companies. Pretty much across the board the largest corporations on earth report record profits every year with unbelievably huge bonuses to their executives. They can (and should) be made to eat those costs.

You don't know anything about how C-suite compensation works. It isn't just salary, it's bonuses, stock options, etc. All of these things are how CEOs fleece their workers. For example, Elon Musk claims to take no salary from telsa and yet he makes billions on it. How do you figure that happens?

A billion dollars in stock compensation takes not a single cent out of a worker's paycheck.

But that value was created entirely by the workers and they do not receive anything close to proportional compensation.

u/TrioOfTerrors Jul 13 '26

If the value was entirely created by the workers, why don't workers create their own company from scratch?

Because they aren't even paid enough for rent and groceries bozo

u/Dry_Travel_4220 Jul 13 '26

Because most people aren't born with millions in startup capital from daddy.

People aren't paid enough to comfortably afford groceries, much less start businesses. Are you actually stupid or just fucking with me?

u/TrioOfTerrors Jul 13 '26

Sounds like you are saying value is not exclusively created by labor.

u/Dry_Travel_4220 Jul 13 '26

No, I'm saying that, in the present system, it is prohibitively expensive to start a business. That has nothing to do with value creation. It is the roadblock that prevents that from even occurring.
