Biggest way to save on payroll, take the highest paid employee, and just offshore that position. Going to guess that's probably the CEO.

And honest question, the fuck do most CEOs even do, exactly? Not there ones working at startups or whatever... Why are they given seemingly dictator power over the company? Why not remove the position and use democracy to run the company...?

CEO's are the fall guys when immoral decisions need to be made.

They are easy to replace, get a golden parachute, and all the board members can continue their fucked up shit without anyone important going under.

Because that would be socialism, and socialism, as we all know, is EVIL.

They're supposed to be the one that lead the company to become better and bring in changes, and take the fall if something happened. They make decision for the company. But often its result in someone of nepotism/cronyism background with the boards and just sit there being useless, or someone the board of directors merely bring in to take the fall. The position itself is very useful for small private limited company, as the founder might not have the expertise to lead and inspire confidence from the worker.

If Americans would just socialize in real life and stop using these companies, then they wouldn't get ad revenue and they would go away. I block all fucking ads. I have contingencies. I VPN all the fucking time. I lie about my telemetry. I have a recursive DNS server. I mean I do everything I can. The internet has become walled gardens and hostile towards working people. It is a front in the class war. Some people are just late to show up to the party. I use my Boomer mother who's too stubborn to adopt my methods and also probably doesn't have the cognitive abilities as my control group. Being a pessimist and not trying is you locking yourself up in your own chains. My mom's phone rings off the hook daily. While mine rings about once a week. we use the same phone. Two phones, same model phone. I do not use Facebook because I'm not a beta cuck or any of these things. I do not use Twitter. I do not use Reddit. I do not use GitHub. I don't use any of these fucking things. If I had a job that required these services, I would create a computer that was just for work, and I would take the battery out of it when I got home. I would never connect it to my own internet. You pay for something and then they milk you. Now tell me how does that make sense? The problem with America is a nation of uber-cucks. This is war! At the end of the day, if it gets worse than this, I am willing to smash every computer I have. But I don't need to do that, because I don't have Windows Management System. I don't use Mac. core boot baby. If you want a future worth living for, then try harder. The last thing you want to do is bring work home. I will return to the office and I would hope the workers that I worked with wanted to have a union. I don't shit where I eat.
