"I live in a poor and war-torn country so I will work for a low wage even while my home might be bombes"

Captialist nut jobs: "So dedicated!"

I swear, if it was legal to execute employees they would do it everyday because "that's what it means to be a good CEO" or some shit

If I post in slack that my family was almost killed and the CEO responds with “this is getting me fired up!!” I will absolutely leak admin credentials and let that bitch get hacked. Kinder and gentler than choking a mf

I saw that disgusting comment at the bottom. He is a caricature businessman from a Verhoeven movie. We've reached what was supposed to be over-the-top satire.

I would hack the next incoming drone and target it at the CEO.

I’ll bet $50 this “CEO” has very few “employees.” Maybe just one. Which makes the screenshot message even sadder.

OK yeah. He is a recent grad from Dartmouth and his company markets exclusively to college students and boasts $500,000 in sales.

This might sound like a lot but it’s not enough to have many employees. He’s essentially a self-employed ~~kid~~ young man acting as the sole managing member of a disregarded entity and his “Pakistani employee” is likely a 1099 gig-worker, not a w2 employee.

So, big grain of salt here. It’s a ~~kid~~ young man cosplaying as a big-shot CEO on social media. Maybe don’t luigi this one until he’s had the chance to actually be a colossal piece of shit.

Edit: trying to learn not to call young adults kids, even when they totally look or act like one

I'm not familiar, but those both sound like visas for foreign workers? From the original post, I don't think the developer is living in a western country. I think it's outsourced to a Pakistani living in Pakistan.

Just the tax forms. I should’ve said [sub-] contractor instead of 1099 sorry. Calling a contractor an employee publicly on social media is a hilarious way to owe back taxes but he has no experience with that yet. He just started and thinks he knows everything.

They are tax forms, a W2 is an employee (basically) and a 1099 (usually -NEC) is a contractor.

More info about the differences on irs.gov

I vote for sending drones to american ceos, I’m sure they will “give a shit” afterwards and be more motivated on the workplace. 📈 /s

Collin really gives off that "I kill small animals to feel alive" vibe.
