You are effectively saying we should get over capitalism.

I agree, but I gotta ask why are you sugar coating it?

It is time to talk about unionization that would throw all these bullshit inequalities out the window.

Unionizing would have no need for such a "handbook"

It's also fun to see people who believe in global capitalism and make Ben-Shapiro-level of arguments.

it is not much as R, as the (relative) unwillingness to break compatibility or enforce global standards. Why do all string functions do not accept UTF-8?

there is no indication of your claim anywhere to be found.

project2501aon Greek Delivery Giant Efood Faces Major Backlash over Worker’s Rights

Bull. Still nowhere in Kathimerini's article that they were "low performers".

project2501aon Greek Delivery Giant Efood Faces Major Backlash over Worker’s Rights

"unbiased view of the law" in Greece is a dogwhistle for "right wing/libertarian".

I'll stop this thread here, since hackernews is really not really interested in the internal political differences of the Greek bourgeoisie class and workers.

[CITATION NEEDED] over at /r/greece and the original and subsequent message, there has been no such indication.

Sorry I linked the wrong massacre

While WilmerHale may not have a direct connection to actually cracking heads open, their current methods were picked directly from the Pinkertons in the 1970s.

Dunno, is Pinkerton notorious for that?

Yeah, this is the bulls^H^H^H^H^Hstory that perpetuates that mythos, too.

> persist and get lucky with a good team and a good market angle at the right time - is a very potent moral.

What we should take away is that there is money to be wasted. A lot of money (which is not going into employees pockets). If someone was willing to give a billion dollars for a press of a bag of juice that could be squeezed by hand, a useless product, imagine what can be had if you have an actual product.

Coping from my other comment:

What you should take away is that there is money to throw around. A lot of fucking money.

Which is not going into our pockets as employees, but easily given to those in the know, even with a huge chance of everything going to vapor.

Remember that, next time you ask for a raise.
