Ah yes, slave away for decades to make the company’s executives/owners richer, sacrificing watching your kids grow up, sacrificing your relationship with your spouse, family, and friends.
Giving up time for hobbies and community service so that I can get a raise that barely keeps up with inflation, a pizza party twice a year, shitty coffee that the employees have to make, in a pot that the employees have to clean, and eventually a parking space that is 100 feet closer to the entrance so I can get into the office even quicker…
Nah, forgive me for passing on being a “winner.”

I work to live. I dont live to work.
Winning what, more profits for you instead of me? Get fucked, loser.
I’m proud of being a loser in this case.
What a loser
Fuck this guy and anyone who thinks like him
Winning what for whom, you blubbering dipshit?
