“Go to your parents and ask them: hey, like every time I get a chance to talk to my boss, ask me if I can have more days off,” he said, per BI. “Ask your parents what they think of that as a career strategy.”

I do not support violence as retribution but I also reallllllllly want to slap this manbaby in the face, do his parents know he is behaving this way?

edit I would also like to note the evidence about employee efficiency being decreased from them being given vacations is simply not there, in the longterm vacations improve the performance of employees, thus taking them away and overworking employees is done out of spiritual and ideological belief not out of any actual pursuit of efficiency.

This ideology is deranged and unsupported by the science, even if you don't care about the dumpster ethics of it, which you also should too.

"AI" doesn't make us more efficient. Generative LLMs make slop that that requires a lot of attention and revision.

Nonsense, next you are going to claim the point of English, Creative Writing and Non-Fiction Writing degrees aren't to increase the raw amount of words being written in the world as if these degrees existed to do anything other than focus on drilling student's typing and writing speed while only grading their output on quantity and other superficial bulk metrics!!?

You are SO naive!

Do you even know how the whole world works? No? Well you should have studied computers and not wasted your time!

People still employed at google know what they are in for. Same for Tesla and a few others. Normal businesses know that burning through human capital is expensive.
