According to Forbes like 70% or 80% of Millionaires and are self made. All of these studies are based on self reporting. They just ask the rich guy “are you self made” – they say “yes totally” and thats it. They also classify most of the rich coming from the Middle Class and achieving their wealth on their own because they didnt inherit it. All of this is bs. Of course if you ask a rich guy if hes self made he will say yes. Otherwise it would tarninsh the myth of supriority. People get money and help BEFORE they inherit anything. This fixation on inheritance is a distraction Frankly many of the people there had borderline rich families so its absurd to claim that they came from the middle class. Like Jeff Bezos grandfather owned 20 000 Acres of land. Thats 100 Square Kilometers! Thats a mid sized city.…

I got offered to come in next Saturday for extra hours and im told I'm still needing to work my mandatory Sunday. I've been told “no pressure to say yes but think it over.” For 25.50 I'd do it. For 10.00 I'll be enjoying the nice weather and not giving a fuck. Good luck managing on your own!

Back when entry level actually meant entry level, you could get a job with no skills and the company would actually invest their time in training you. In return, you would invest your time and loyalty in the company and retire with a pension. Now “entry level” means at least 3 years of prior experience and jobs expect you to know how to do everything before you are even hired. It's a cheap way to avoid losing money in case the person does not stay for long, but refusing to invest in employees guarantees they won't invest in the company and will leave quickly anyway. Just some thoughts that have been on my mind as someone who has been job hunting since September. I am trying to change industries but no one wants to teach their workers, they want us to know everything before we apply.

Hi guys, there is a lot of talk on this sub about worker owned co-ops like Mondragon and others. I am a new partner at a worker-owned company here in Canada, and my first time in such a role. AMA about how it's structured, how the workers/customers/stakeholders like it, or anything else! Cheers
