    Find a more disgusting word than 'human capital' to describe a person.

    Dehumanising ghouls

    Hate that they're allowed to publish outright lies like this too. Productivity has rocketed past wages, there is no decline of work, people are more overworked then ever. That's why some are checking out all together.

    It makes me feel slightly better that the more opinion pieces like this surface while people work harder and harder, the more likely they are to smell the bullshit.

      When you spend time posting things on the computer, you are stealing

    Ghouls like this should be glad that slacking off is the only way workers are clawing back the massive amount of their lives that are stolen by capital and not, you know, putting this dweeb and his cohort in a stockade.

      This prick wouldn't even have a job if it weren't for people slacking off at work to read articles like this. Nobody's got time to read news and opinions in their incredibly shrinking free time.

        When you have a salary (like most of the NYT audience), all your time is free time :)

    Wage theft is the largest and most widespread form of theft in the world, reclaim every scrap of your value you can and bully sailor suit nerds like this at every turn.

      The more I think about it the more I have come to realize how beautifully American Goodfellas is. Fuck you, pay me is the only ONLY way to respond to our culture.

    There sure is someone stealing from everyone at work, and it sure as fuck isn't any of the workers.
