I’ve yet to have a job where my boss does less work than their employees. Is this common?

[-] Swim@lemmy.ca 24 points 1 year ago

this is clearly the view of someone who has never been in a management position

The boss is the owner, not the manager, in this instance.

In that case I basically agree. The majority shareholder and CEO of where I work doesn't do much. To be fair he is like 70 but to be fair he still makes about an order of magnitude more than I do.

[-] Catfish@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 1 year ago

Yes, in just about every blue collar job. The CEO does not do as much work as the order selector in a warehouse, as much work as the undocumented migrant workers on the lines in the factory, or as much work as the cooks in a restaurant to give a few examples. Anyone that's worked in those industries knows what I'm talking about.

Is "work" only boxes stacked or nuts bolted? Does all work have the same value?

[-] drbluefall@toast.ooo 3 points 1 year ago

No, not all work necessarily has the same value.

But the value of some kinds of work has been wildly overinflated compared to others.

And even then, all work done should return enough to live off of.
