I only have direct contact with the Amazon delivery folk, and they’re driven like little Taylorist robots.
We have 5 buildings on campus. So 5 addresses. So Amazon sometimes sends 5 different drivers over the course of a day. Sometimes we get the same driver 5 times in a day after being sent back and forth across the street to deliver to other businesses between each of our buildings.
A lot of Amazon drivers in rented penske or allied trucks.
A lot of Amazon drivers in Dodge Caravans from the early 2000s.
Gig economy for delivery and retail is so fucking exploitative, and it doesn’t even make Amazon all that much money.
The poor drivers always have such a panicked look in their eye. They can’t stop for a moment. They are always behind because there’s no reasonable volume that’s achievable and also turns a profit.

Yep. Same shit that happens in state governments, as with pensions.

Yep, and @MalevolentPixy, what we need are laws that ban the congress or state legislatures from borrowing from those funds. They can’t act as a slush fund for other kinds of spending, ever. Full stop.

I’ve worked closely with 3 CEOs (OK, one was the CFO soon-to-be CEO) for short periods of time. This chart nails it. I’d add that the proportion of real work involved is inversely proportional to the size of the company and their pay, with small-company CEOs working more and getting paid less and huge company CEOs acting more like a celebrity. The big company CEOs don’t even make a whole lot of decisions - they go from one “deal” meeting/shareholder meeting/board meeting/analyst conference to the next, making face time and reciting scripts that other people write for them.
One comment stands out (as CEO was handed their “talking points” for an investor conference while getting makeup and hair done): “I went to Kellogg for this?”
