Seems fair, they obviously work 246x harder than the average worker

Someone has to attend all those golf games and lunches, and the ordinary workers are too busy creating that sweet surplus value.

Joke's on my boss, he hires only negative value employees.

That's why your boss doesn't earn 246x more than the average worker.

Worker: .... you mean my work is 246x less than yours? ... great, I'll go hide in the warehouse and play COD for next six hours then take a two hour bathroom break before clocking out.

If they don't value workers or their work ... why should workers give any effort or enthusiasm to the company?
