    Also, when a tool increases your productivity but your salary and paid time off don’t increase, it’s a tool that only benefits the overlords and as such deserves to be hated.

      Oh, so do you use a 13 year old PC because a newer one increases your productivity without increasing your salary and paid time off?

        I use a 13 year old PC because a newer one will be infected with Windows 11. (The company refuses to migrate to Linux because some of the software they use isn’t compatible.)

        Personally… I do

        I could request a new one, but why? This one works, it’s just slow as all hell.

          Gives excellent argument for requesting a new one:

          slow as all hell.

          I mean, you’re clearly using them because they still work, not because of a hatred for increasing productivity for the overlords. Your choice was based on reasonable logic, unlike the other guy.

      Some people feel proud that their work got done quicker and also aren’t micromanaged so if they choose, yes actually they can have more time for their personal lives. Not everyone’s job is purely a transaction in which they do the absolute minimum they can do without being fired.

      I hope you feel better soon, because you’re clearly bitter and lashing out at whatever you can lash at.

        I’m glad you live in this fantasy world where more productivity = more personal time, but it doesn’t always work like that, especially in salaried positions. More productivity generally means more responsibility coming your way, which rarely results in an increased salary.
