Shit guys, turns out nothing is getting done without Dave here. I found Stan, but he will only do the job for twice Dave's old salary. Let's change our business model to a subscription service since it seems like everyone enjoys those anyway and give ourselves bonuses and negotiate Stan down to 130 percent of Daves salary!

Dave started to realize his worth and get ideas, like asking for a raise, requesting time off, and demanding health insurance.

At Goldman Sachs, everybody pictured would be Vice-President, including Dave.

Also a bit how working in the office instead of from home looks like.

Soon Dave is gonna be an AI and it's everyone else who'll be losing their jobs

But real talk, why are construction sites always like this?

Right now they're doing work on a bridge over here and every day there's either one dude out there doing nothin, or there's a group of dudes scattered about doing nothing, watching one guy work. It's no wonder this projects gonna take 5 years.

A lot of construction is exhausting. You stand around the hole and take turns digging. By the end of the day you're still ready to collapse.

[-] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 7 points 3 months ago

Not only that but sometimes you gotta wait for someone else to finish their part before you can do yours.

I never worked construction but having worked on other large, multi-entity projects, I’m sure there’s a lot of “hurry up and wait”.

Yeah cuz it's just the one guy digging, instead of everyone
