    if a worker is on their phone during a shift for 5 minutes it’s time theft and unfair to the corporation because that’s 60c of productivity lost. if a corporation systematically extracts maximum profit from a worker while paying them as little as possible, that’s fine cause they took a risk or something

        Unfortunately for the most part, capitalism is. The companies that do exploit their workers and their customers make more money, Corporations that make more money than their competition then get in positions to do shady shit to kill their competitors. In the end of course there’s plenty of shitty jobs that treat their employees like garbage to jump between, and very few jobs that actually treat their workers like humans.
