    Approx. one week ago, you could read in the news that Microsoft is planning to fire 18,000 (=eighteenthousand) of their employees.

    Just a few days later, one could read in the news that Microsoft made a profit (!) of 22 billion dollars (= 22,000,000,000 $) in 2013.

    How fucked up has the world we live in become???
    This is more than just outta control.

    Sorry for the rant, but I find it hard to digest such news.

    profits for the share holders, they obviously are not getting enough dividends, and I think most of the redundancies are from within the former nokia group :snuffy:

    This is the illustration of "work hard, it will pay" :rofl: (what a fukin WASP joke)
    Since the 80's, dividends exploded. Salaries and investments, of course, are falling...and falling...and falling...
    All those ppl earning a lot of money on stocks exchange are working hard...around the pool, drinking and waiting for their golf partner :rofl:

    Today, you need to SELL anything, but sell.
    That's why almost all i see in jobs papers are seller jobs :wink:
    Of course, those jobs are pure crap, like what they are supposed to sell.

    Soon, we will see them selling our own air (it is already like this with water). And this day, we will fear not "working hard enough" to pay our air bill, like a lot of us already do with their house, car , electricity, food...

    Start to fear breathing, mates. Because it is the future :bow:
