    Are we sure this isn’t Poe’s Law in effect? This post reads like a troll that people have taken seriously.

    Corporate “culture” is a plague.

    Its jargon is designed to encourage self-enslavement and normalize sociopathic behavior.

      Whenever I see people promoting ‘hustle culture’ on TV, social media or books, I feel a strong urge to crush their skull with a big wrench. They are predators out to make money by fueling the insecurity of regular people.

        That’s marketing in a nutshell.

    I opened this post thinking the woman in question was some high level C suite worker. Nope she was supposedly working in fast food. This is beyond dystopian. You mean to tell me this fucker walked in a fast food place saw a toddler and an infant behind the counter, recognized that the mom must have just given birth and thought “Yup this is inspiring.” I’m honestly speechless. This might be one of the few instances I’ve ever seen where everyone responding is on the same page with their reaction and rage.

    A tone-deaf oligarch is emotionally stirred…

    It’s disturbing to hear that there are people like this CEO who think this way. But it’s important to share such news. Thank you for posting this.

    I feel bad for that working mother - as I do for so many struggling people.

      You’re going to be disturbed quite a lot. There are a lot of CEOs like that out there. For example, Jeff Bozos thinks that the Amazon warehouse workers are lazy. These sociopaths would be crying with joy if an employee died in the process of making them an additional fifty bucks of profit.
