    They STIHL think that more hours lead to more productivity. All I know is no pay leads to finding alternative pay.

        Not exactly; fatigue affects pretty much everything. If I don’t get enough sleep, I just watch cartoons at work. I’ll take my time to fix a machine that can flatline me if I make a mistake. Being unpaid only fuels my motivation to not do anything and in certain cases watch it all crumble.

        Also the security guard example is an interesting choice to reference. You know what they do? Look pretty and call the PD. Unless it’s special detail, it’s generally for appearance. Even in emergencies, the liability cost isn’t worth it as well as jail time and court costs. I hate to break it to you but the security guard isn’t going to stick their neck out for you unless they want to kill or are extremely altruistic.

    “an overregulated economy, high energy costs, high labour costs, high taxes and a declining level of education and qualifications.”

    Yeah. Because self-regulation and no taxes certainly worked for, for example, America’s skills and education level.

    I find it amusing the CEO of a company whose employees - at a bare minimum - are awash in chainsaws has any opinion on their pay that is not in line with the employee idea of fair wages

    …In the past eight years we have lost around 15 percent of our industrial output. Month after month Germany is losing around 15,000 industrial jobs

    I mean, keep deporting your workforce totally works. (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

    I’m sure the timing is very coincidental and has nothing to do with the recent AFD win

    People like this will happily burn the world so that they can rule over the ashes

      He said the same thing a month ago: https://www.spiegel.de/wirtschaft/unternehmer-nicolas-stihl-35-stunden-woche-nicht-mehr-zeitgemaess-a-a69431e3-905a-4c8a-ba45-abdaa6dfceff

      But I don’t get it. Wealth doesn’t really increase by working more. For skilled jobs, working longer means you are producing the same output in more time and feel worse. If you want to increase production, you need to invest in research and technology.

      Hundreds of years ago, one farmer could feed a hand full of people, today it’s probably thousands, thanks to modern technology. If the farmers back then would work twice as much, they could still only feed a hand full of people, but they would probably die a lot sooner.

        I imagine the same thing which finished off heavy industry in the U.K. is hurting DE a lot also, high energy prices.

        Less of a direct effect on assembly businesses, but for heavy production where your process is largely to convert energy to product its devestating. Then you lose those job while also having to pay another county for the product. It fucked us over here for sure

    MBAs too, while we are at it. They like to play cookie clicker with the global wealth distribution and it is insane.

    The family entrepreneur from Waiblingen in southern Germany does not mince his words…

    Family businessman Stihl takes a long-term view…

    STIHL: €5.48bn in revenue and more than 20,000 employees

    Just a small FAMILY businessman… The stilted way these pieces always try to humanize the people calling for more worker exploitation always creeps me out. Do they think the workers don’t have families or something?

      This shit is always so funny to me - the name implies its about some humble family-run business.

      You look inside and well - Volkswagen, Schwarz (the group behind Lidl, Kaufland, STACKIT, …), Audi… you know - small, harmless businesses.

      I especially laugh at the arguments they make for working at those “family-run businesses”. If you were looking for a definition of gaslighting, you would have it right there.

      Translated to english:

      Family togetherness: Work in an environment full of trust and appreciation.
      Secure job: Benefit from long-term stability and high crisis resistance.
      Meaningful tasks: Take responsibility in projects with real purpose. Rapid advancement: Use flat hierarchies for your personal career.

      I think they’re trying to justify his lack of compassion for workers because his company’s profitability is so personal for him and central to his identity (d’awww).

    Parasite leeches. All of them. They use far, far more than their share of resources, and give zero in return.

    Fuck em.
