    Why it matters: Bad jobs aren’t just a misery for employees — for companies, they’re linked to costly turnover and higher health care expenses

    Well if that doesn’t say a fuckton about Axios…

      It says more about the system of oppression.

      Even Ford, an icon in capitalistic exploitation, noticed that it was cheaper for him to have workers treated better rather than have shit tired underpaid workers who made mistakes and job hopped.

      But the ego of capitalists and rise of short term financial gain have pushed oppression of workers forward for decades, against the ruling class’ own interest.

        Yes exactly. When people say “cruelty is the point” it’s for the people who think efficiency is the point and cruelty is the method. Efficiency is just the smokescreen to get you to accept the cruelty.

        Yes, I feel like the thought is, “I can make peopel’s lives worse and it’ll only cost me $1,000/employee/year? It’s absolutely worth it to break their spirit!”

        Of course, Ford had commies and bomb throwing anarchists to deal with.

        Hmm.
