Yeah, ask Ukraine. Or Estonia. Or Latvia. Or Belarus. Or Lithuania. Or Poland. Or Czechia. Or Hungary. But what’s a few genocides and a dozen colonies, right?

I’d love to see a company of thousands of people without bosses…

It’s the basis of the EU…

Awesome, it is exquisite. I happily trade 2-3 hours everyday with my kids for some concept of “boot” of strangers on the internet.

If you are unhappy with your boss I’d say it’s a skill issue.

My previous car was a small 6 cylinder BMW and used about 10L/100km (mostly short city trips, about 8L highway).

That’s 23mpg in the city, 30 hwy, at 10.6USD per gallon (2.5 eur/L)

Now it’s about 18kWh/100km so 3.5 miles per kWh at 0.09 cents in summer and 30 cents in winter (solar panels).

So we consider CEOs and owners not bosses?

Just to clarify: this was a startup and all 3 were the only co-owners, +5 employees .

What is the bait?

Yeah, if companies are going to cheat and lie, they are going to cheat and lie, a piece of paper is not going to stop them. Paper or digital, no difference, the problem is corruption not digitalization.

Their own monthly documents be damned.

I’m glad that we agree.

2. Dont like selling your software to your boss? Sell it to clients directly and pocket the difference! The means of production are literally a laptop and an internet connection, about 200 dollars capex for a decent ThinkPad and 30 opex, free if you go to a library.

Yes, they are, unequivocally. As is China. As was the Soviet union.

In the company I work for the CEO does quite a lot of work, in the previous company the owners were there when I came in the morning and still there when I left home, writing code like me but also meeting customers, doing acquisition, finding out why the cleaning company didn’t send anyone that week, etc.

If being “a boss” is so easy, I don’t understand why don’t everyone here just go freelance, hire people and start browsing for Ferraris.

It is.

Those are for libtards and make you gay and woke.

I though there were like 3.6 or 3.8 liters in a US gallon.

“got Americans killed” sounds like they removed the airbags in their cars, or dared them to swim with gators.

It was murder.

No no, killing the CEO of BP will suddenly make you car run on unicorns and your heating work on good vibes.

We don’t need public transport, investment in green energy and a reduction in our consumption. We need to kill a few guys, that’s all.

Plot twist: it’s using Gemini 3.6 flash!

I wonder how many outraged posters have ever tried to be their own boss. I gladly trade 50% of my potential income for uninterrupted family time, PTO, marketing, customer service, support, accounting, tax declaration, and all the other crap that I had to do myself as a freelancer.

The outrage is the important part, math is for nerds!
