Gotta get creative with your layoffs when you already did massive layoffs but still need to please wall street.

Oh ho ho, looks like we got a haaaaard worker over here. Yeah dude, I'm a trust fund baby 10 million dollar loan from my father to open my professional esport beenie baby collection company that I hired someone else to run and yet still have an adversity to bootlicking bosses.

Or, I'm a regular guy who also still hates bootlicking abused of power.

Lick lick slurp slurp but it sounds to me like you moved on from the boot ifyouknowwhatimsayin.

Good arguments.

I was mostly implying you're a lazy slob. Kind of interesting you apparently think you come across as rich. Says a lot about the type of person you are.

Here's your argument then. The very nature of the relationship between worker and boss under current capitalist economics is inherently exploitative. To further use that leveraged position as a cudgel when a worker does not use a gift you give them in the exact way you wanted is morally evil. The money is budgeted, the intent is irrelevant.

Defending this is a defense of a evil action in an inherently oppressive and exploitative situation already. Only someone who has done similar, or someone who feels the need to become the devils advocate would defend it. Neither of those people deserve to have their opinion respected, just as they, you, don't respect the workers position or the scummyness of the action itself.

This argument will not convince you, because you have already sided with the boot and your tongue is glued to it.
