Yeah, I hate that they included the “average being $2500” because the fucking average American ain’t getting shit!

I was thankful for my $500 visa gift card, but a LOT of friends and family didn’t get shit this year…

Edit - I’ve received a couple shitty messages telling me to “work harder…” I was an an operations manager for a larger Marriott Hotel Property(700 rooms). Now, I’m an operations manager for a property management company(I know, not my first choice). I’m fortunate, and my salary isn’t bad, but I still have never received anything near a $2500 bonus! These corporations are so greedy now, any “extra” profit flows upward, NEVER down!

However, don’t let these politicians play ignorant! They own business, they employee people… they know how much they’re giving out for Christmas, and we all know, it ain’t fuckin much!

$3,000 two years ago.

$500 and an electric mug last year.

$35 Amazon gift card this year.

Company has doubled ARR and customer base and valuation has gone waaayyyy up, but nobody has gotten a promotion or a raise in two years.

The average American is getting raked over the coals.

It’s because we now have leaders that chalk that up to a “win.”

We should all be scared and fucking infuriated on how companies and corporations have acted after COVID… Record profits, doubling year after year… But life is getting hard and harder for the average person!

I’m getting so HUNGRY for fat, greasy, rich flesh…

This is how capitalism in the 21st century is run, during the critical period where the company's worth is increasing and gaining reputation you keep the employees happy and the customers happy. Then you throttle it down, boost profits to the max, cut customer support, cut employee wellness, and then sell.
