Indeed, and it's important to realize that modern governments *are* corporations. They're structured like corporations and they operate like corporations. HR representatives will tell you "HR is here to help you! We have an open door policy! If you have any problems, you can always talk to us!" But this is not the truth. They aren't there to protect you, they're they're to protect the company FROM you. And every time the government stands up a new agency or bureau, it is exactly the same, not matter how "noble" or "equitable" the stated purpose of that agency might be. Those agencies don't exist to help you. They exist to protect the government from your complaints.

"Human Resources," it's in the name of course, they don't care about human beings. If you refer to something as a resource you've already desensitized yourself to that resource. Dairy farmers often claim they love their animals, that doesn't stop them from sending their loved cows go to the slaughterhouse after they no longer fill their 'resource giving' obligation. It all sucks, but it doesn't matter. Just make yourself aware of the world you live in and do your best to be as independent as possible. Independence and being independent have many guises, learn them all. Look, not all of us are going to be free, or at least have the veneer of freedom. Some people are going to be born to servitude, in the West we put people into servitude by selling them myths. Myths like the Australian Dream, work like a slave to get a deposit while paying huge rent, then get a mortgage and be a slave for decades to come, your Government and the business world will love you, hahahaha not, they've got you sucker, they own you. Be careful of what you want, it may not be your choice, always think so hard about how much debt you will take on, it may seem good in the present, but in the end, it could sap the life out of you.

Funny you mention that, in some ways, Stellaris actually makes a case for anti-immigration. When I run my empire, it is usually an ethnostate that uses bonuses (rapid breeding trait, high stability, etc) to increase the native population's productivity and birthrate. Reason why? When you get Xeno pops, I find the task too micro-intensive to find where the other races would be put to best use, and many times the negative traits aren't worth the tradeoff for positive ones. Subliminally, it teaches a lesson that when foreign people settle into your lands, they can be difficult to deal with, and in many cases, it is easier and simpler to just opt out entirely.

I started the training and it was actually painful how boring it was. An entire module of the course simply talked about how working together is good, while using as many buzzwords as possible to describe the most simple concepts. They can talk for hours and hours about something a child could understand in 10 minutes. Thank God I managed to drop out and get my money back.

It really is bizarre that a giant corporation with huge resources can't seem to manage to figure out how to hire competent employees _and retain them._ I have written it off to the psychopaths at the top hiring psychopaths and those psychopaths hiring more all the way down the management line. Those people wouldn't recognize a hard day of work if they were watching ditch diggers. "Oh, well I'm sure that's not hard at all. It's just shoveling." It's pretty entertaining to me that the jobs that are being replaced first by AI are the jobs of the people who think that working with physical objects (Yes, like an engineer.) are, "easy." You forgot a benefit: Your engineering isn't driven by a marketing department.

I, and probably most of us who could be made useful, live lives with parents who neither told us nor taught us that "work smarter not harder" didn't mean "find something that subsists you well enough and plot there", so even if we knew someone like you were out there looking for us we wouldn't know how to approach.

@hariman7727Ай бұрын
Both jobs where I complained to the human resources department ended up either letting me suffer and twist and rit in the first case, or they targeted me to get me fired on the very hollow grounds of putting time club violations on my discipline record of taking breaks and lunches back to back at a time when the managers were putting the absolute most amount of pressure to get as much done as possible in a shift, including being on people for wasting time to the point that taking lunches and breaks together was one of the few ways to save time. In the first case one of the managers decided that I was a problem from immediately after she arrived, which I will admit, my introduction to her being having to tell her that my grandmother died and I was going on bereavement isn't the best first impression, but I'm pretty sure my co-workers use that opportunity to talk shit about me for a week. In the second case, both of the managers involved were awful. One was a complete harridan who got herself fired, and the other was a jerk who when I came to him and said that I had put back stock on a specific cart because one of the other people in charge said that was a good place to put it, he said" okay that's good, who told you to do that?". And in both cases human resources was either useless or made the problem worse after I complained to them.

You get what you reward for. If you reward politicians for improving GDP, then that is what they will optimize around. An easy way to improve GDP is to increase the size of the population, and immigration is an easy way to increase the population size (especially easy if you have no border control). So long as >0% of immigrants work and job vacancies are >0, you can improve GDP. Whether or not these immigrants have an interest in adopting the host countries' culture, let alone have respect for the culture of the country they are entering, don't impact GDP in the short-term election cycle and therefore have no part in the incentive structure.

I was just thinking this the other day. One of the problems with any system that dehumanizes people is it treats the people as fungible and interchangeable. This also stems from a mechanistic worldview. If you see how the world works as input-output machines, it's easy to fall into this trap while missing the larger patterns and cycles in which such reductions are always embedded. It's interesting to me that this problem could arise in both a tyrannical nation-state as well as in a tyrannical company (usually a large one whose moving parts see little interaction). You can get away with parasitic, unproductive behavior inside gigantic organizations while smaller organizations sink or swim if such behavior is tolerated.

This goes back to the question of collective or individual rights which are generally correctly assumed to be mutually exclusive. If the emphasis is placed on individual rights. Then some individuals will always have more than others. If the emphasis is placed on collective rights, be individual becomes worthless and the central authority needed to oversee the needs of the group becomes a focal point for those seeking influence for whatever. A company correctly uses everything at its disposal to turn a profit, this is where oversight and a civilizational ethic come in. In our case, oversight varies based on the influence of the company in question which is a result of our collective rejection of traditional ethics.

@M167A1 "When tested, the only three groups who act as game theory predicts are economists, schizophrenics and psychopaths". Countries, organisations and the soul itself exist as ecosystems. Every part of them exists in relation to the other parts. It's like a web of mirrors facing each other. If you change one thing, there are dramatic, unforeseeable results throughout the system. The problem with rationalistic, machine-inspired thinking, is the belief that parts can be swapped out, changed and optimised. This requires you to only look at a small part of the system, and to try and represent it like an assembly line process. Once you look at it like that, you start to think there are easy ways to improve it. You make changes, from the perspective of a linear system, without realising it's a complex web. What's wrong with human resources treating people like parts, is that they have dramatically simplified what people are, and how the system works with them. The changes which make sense from a linear perspective can have horrid results on the systems level. Since the French revolution, there have been modernistic experiments to try and optimise society, such as the new deal and the five year plan. They all fail for the above reason. A good place to see this is Adam Curtis' 'Pandora's Box' series.

This was hitting it out of the park, but let's give a little of the blame to governments and our own greed as well. We want pension schemes backed by the government because then we don't have to rely on the good will of our children (who may or may not be obliging, and that may or may not be because we were bad parents). Governments are happy to oblige, because they can use get a cut of whatever taxes we pay to support such a scheme and employ their idiot nephews (and nieces now, I suppose) as bureaucrats. But then we stop having children and there isn't enough revenue to support the scheme so then it's "well, we need more immigrants to pay for your pensions (and medical care)". It's a vicious cycle and it's partly of our own making.
@bastil5856Ай бұрын
Let's also be real though; We want pension schemes by the government because the people we're forced by law to allow to handle our pension funds are using our current payments to pay for the pensions of our parents and grandparents. Because they've been using the money offered to them BY our parents and grandparents to gamble and pay their own fatcat salaries. Surrounding this, our children probably won't be all too obliging because they simply cannot be; Income hasn't kept up with inflation. It all comes back to that little snippet. There's a massive gulf between the relative purchasing power of the generations at the same stages of their life, and that trend isn't looking to change. And to make matters worse: The social dissolution of the greater family structure also means that its far less socially 'normal' to look after your elderly family members in, say, your own home. Not to mention the way increased life expectancy probably also makes looking after elderly people a more expensive, involved and time-consuming thing. Like you say, it's a vicious cycle, and one very much not helped by our low birth rates.

The managerial class is effectively a civilization in their own right and act in a very similar fashion to the royalty of old. They have their own architectural style, intermarry with each other, and have a common language in English. No matter where you go all major cities look exactly the same with glass and steel skyscrapers, the same corporations like McDonalds, and a distinct lack of cultural flare. If you didn’t know it you would believe that you hadn’t traveled at all. If an archaeologist were to dig up these cities thousands of years in the future with no background information they would believe that a single global hegemon controlled the world since there would be a lack of real differences between the cities. Rudyard from Whatifalthist breaks this down in far more detail than what I have done, but the tldr is that the elites and managerial class relate more with each other across the globe than they do with their fellow citizens.
