We should all just stop working. I’m not even talking about protesting. Y’all just stay at home and rely on squatters rights to not have to pay rent. I wish everyone at once just stopped playing along with corpo slavery. I wish we could all just agree to welcome the end of existence as a final fuck you to anyone who thinks they’re important because they have a product or an idea to sell. Let’s all just stop giving a fuck!

Even in the scenario where they take a pay cut or reduce their salary so what? They were making huge amounts while making the active decisions that lead to you loosing your job. Eventually they'll get back to their regular salary and they still retain all the original benefits of the job.

Meanwhile even in the scenario where you got a severance you better hope you don't need any of those benefits. Namely insurance for ongoing medications or medical needs.

You're touching on a point i've been finding myself talking about with family and friends a lot. What's the point of moving to a city that pays you a seemingly high salary but the salary isn't anywhere near enough to actually live in the parts of town close to your office?

9 to 6, 6 days a week is ridiculous. We have enough technology that we should be working three hours a day for four days a week. Famous economist John Keynes predicted something like this almost 100 years ago. It’s ridiculous for us to work this hard with all the technology we have now. Take a look at this video https://youtu.be/7EhICK_GL8k.

Yeah, too many Government and Social rules prevent the kind of "let's just get it done" ability. No snowflakes want to hear that their demsnds are subtly sabotaging everything from small startups and corner stores, to major industries, so I won't say that and offend the snowflakes. But, here we are..
