Try approaching either one of these guy's companies without a college degree and see how far you get. Moreover, try approaching without a magna cum laude or summa cum laude degree from one of the top ten very best colleges or universities.

I noticed that a lot of rich people think they get what they earn through hard work. But frequently take vacations for several months out of the year, and decide to go golfing during regular work hours. If you sit behind a desk for most of the day flirting with the hot new secretary you just hired, and go eat at Tony Roma's for lunch. That isn't hard work. Being rich is one thing, but don't fucking tell me you work hard if you do the above.
Its that attitude that makes them feel entitled to a lions share of the company earnings, when they pay the ones who actually work hard like shit. And this is also why CEOs are making 1000x or more than the average employee. Back in the 50s and 60s it was closer to 50-100x, and you used to be able to actually pay rent with just a week and a half of minimum wage pay. The guy that works hard is the one slaving over an arc welder for 10-12 hours a day, 6 days a week. Just so he makes enough to pay rent and put food on the table. A former supervisor I used to work for made no bones about his job being easy. His exact words were I get paid to sit on my ass all day, and my only responsibility is making sure the operation runs smoothly. That is the correct attitude to have not the "I'm entitled because I'm in a position of power". One is a perfectly reasonable attitude and the other is acting like a Jew. Jews love Capitalism because it allows them to suck as much as they can possibly suck from the company, while paying the ones who work the bare minimum they can get away with. And rely on people to undercut their labor value out of desperation. And this people is what we have in the USA. Last edited by Crowe; February 24th, 2013 at 04:20 AM. |

Funny...this thread is like an X-ray of the WN demographic. Most of us are working class who think anyone not doing physical labor isn't really working. That's sad but telling.
The manager is the guy who worries about work 24 hours a day. The employee is the guy who doesn't give it a second thought once he's off the clock. The reason you're not a manager is you don't have the brains or want the responsibility. Your ego can't accept this, so you posit the manager is there by luck. That's usually not the case. |

A manager is only as good as the employees working under him. Employees make the manager, not the other way around. With a great crew of people working, a manager's job is quite easy. A manager babysitting over a crew of niggers and spics? Quite a difficult job indeed.

Not only do I work fewer hours I make twice as much money as I ever did and most importantly I keep most of it (form 1040W...wazzat?). About half my "income" comes from doing work for people and the other half comes when I 'hit a good lick'.

Seriously though, good for you on finding a way out of the rat race. I'd be interested in hearing any tips you have on how others can achieve this. |

If your illogic had any merit, the pre-desegregation NFL teams (think 40s & 50s) would have had no team owners, no team staff, no coaches and no coaching staff. They'd only have gotten in the way of the 'hard working White players' who were 'doing it all, anyway'. That's crazy. But Lord knows, working for yourself is great, if you have the disposition, hustle, skills and market. Congratulations. |

Crowe,
Do you have or have you had employees of your own? |

You're good at twisting ideas around, and some of what you're suggesting is not what I meant or intended to insinuate at all. I wasn't suggesting they pay managers for nothing. They're paid to make sure operations run smoothly, and I gave some examples showing how their job could either be quite easy, or quite difficult. Quote:
The supervisor is mostly responsible in an industrial setting for making sure which job orders need to be done that day, and do we have the materials to complete those orders, and etc. Tons and tons of paperwork. Not a difficult job. If you know how everything is supposed to function *. Mistakes on the supervisor level can be a whole lot more costly than a simple screw up by the guy on the floor. *Knowing how everything is supposed to function comes from experience. Quote:

I've been in a lead position before in the workplace, and I've also hired some friends of mine to help me get some work done. This was an actual job I was doing, so they weren't hired to do work for me directly. I had underbid a job (Tough lesson), and realized there was no way I could get it done in that time frame unless I had some help. Last edited by Crowe; October 22nd, 2013 at 07:42 PM. |
