If you read the title, it was a statement made by someone yesterday as he was trying to discourage someone else from getting a white collar job.(The kind of work he was referring to is a white collar job or any job that requires you to work as an employee in another man's company or business.).
In their conversation, as I paid close attention, he said that workers are slaves and that some workers are smiling in pain while working for peanuts. He went on to say that people are not supposed to work for anyone but should rather be their own boss.
Now, I wish to get your opinion, friends. What do you think of such a statement?
Personal for me, I do believe that getting a job is not just about the salary you get paid, but there are some jobs that can help to groom you into getting more experience that can also help you to explore when you want to start your own business or company to become your own boss.
Some people even get to learn about the boss role experience after working as an employee in some office for some number of months or years.
In conclusion, workers are not actually slaves, some people have reasons why they decided to work. For example, in my country, there is one man who is the CEO of a bank. According to him, he worked with the Central Bank of my country as a tech guy, but after eight years of working with them, he gathered lots of experience and also raised enough money that he was able to start his own company. He started an MMO (mobile money provider service), but today he is now a microfinance bank, and he has made excellent more than many commercial banks in my country.
The person who said that made a ignorant statement.... In some countries maybe, but esp capitalist countries this isn't even remotely accurate. Choosing to work for an employer is an agreement. there's no difference between choosing to be your own boss and agreeing to a transaction. And the reality is a lot of people aren't capable of being their own boss, responsible or knowledgeable enough. this idiotic statement implies anyone profiting from your work is the equivalent to a slave owner but no one is going to help someone for nothing. the person that said this is obviously a woke, privileged child.
I think that is a majority of the newer generations opinion too... (anti-rich) for example door dash, it's always the employer's fault for not giving a livable wage when the workers agree to that wage...
Personally i think it's just viral bs to bully more tips but they drive around in an air-conditioned car delivering burgers with no requirements... taking a burger from point A to point B.
It shouldn't be a job that gives a livable wage, and it has always been marketed as a side hustle, not a full-time job.
If they collectively demanded more, they would either be paid more or DoorDash would just close.
a person's value is what they "choose" it is. If i "agree" to work for $20 or a even penny, i'm not a slave, it's more like i'm my own boss and my product is time and effort.
You can say regulations and restrictions of different countries set up the conditions that affect your choices but unless you're forcibly being made to work for an amount you don't agree with, workers are not slaves
