"No one wants to work" has always had an unspoken "for the paltry wages I am offering" component to it.

    Not sure if this message is that CEOs are actually nice or nice guys are actually assholes. Both seem like cogdiss.

    "Nice guy" is code for asshole. I thought it was widely known

    That makes no sense at all. Assholes generally get the hottest gfs.

    Don't buy in to incel myths. There are plenty of men who are not assholes and also married to incredibly beautiful women. Even men who fit the mold of conventional attractiveness. Two notable examples:

    Sometimes being a non-asshole who makes people laugh works quite well.

    No because they're the creepy/scary assholes that think they're nice and that if they do a single nice thing for a woman they get sex and then blow up like an insane person at any woman that doesn't.

    Sure, there are women that go for assholes. Doesn't have anything to do with looks, it just that a certain % of population is attracted to assholiness.

    Well, it's their problem

    I'm not a psychologist but there's a theory I give some credence to, that since many men are too intimidated to approach extremely beautiful women, some of those women develop the feeling that there's something wrong with them, leading them to get into relationships with assholes, and feeling like their choices are limited, allow themselves to be dominated and walked on. In my own dating career there were two extremely gorgeous, sweet, thoughtful women who, after I had patiently listened to them talk about how horrible their exes were decided to go back to them. One of these guys was the big redneck beat-up-guys-in-tavern fights type, the other was an actual former pimp. "He needs me more than you do" was the theme. And no I wasn't in the friend zone, unless there's a friend zone that has incredible benefits.

    Do you know why they don't like remote work? Eventually, you can remotely work for another country that pays more.

    They don't like remote work because it means they're wasting money on office space. Rather than fix that problem they want to fill the unnecessary space and pretend there's no problem.

    Yep, my prev. CEO capped working from home to 1 day a week and treated it like we were requesting a holiday.

    “I have such a nice office and then nobody shows up, you know how much that hurts?”

    Man, how far removed from reality can you be?

    Or even just remotely work for other employers in the same country. For example, Dallas employers don't want compete with Silicon Valley employer salaries.

    You know what I have always hated never actually understood? Its always people make different amounts of money in different parts of the country because it costs more to live there or something to that effect.

    Ever since I was small this has pissed me off more than it should... Like we really don't have a better solution? As I got older I understood it more... But it just pisses me off. People shouldn't make less in one part of the country just because everyone wants to live in a different part of it...

    Like it should be the opposite... Pay people the same everywhere give people the freedom to move and it will sort itself out..
