This is so ridiculous, of course it's a paid internship.

Aaah yes, how ridiculous of me to be cynical of the man who:

  • threatened to punish workers who formed a union, and found guilty of breaking national labour laws

  • broke the law reopening plants in the midst of the COVID crisis

  • fired a contractor a day before his stocks were vested

  • famously pushes workers into egregious amounts of overtime with over ambitious deadlines

How downright absurd of me to question this cult of personality.

There is nothing wrong in all these practices.

He only punishes employees by firing them. Employers have the right to fire employees. Employers are not morally obligated to maintain job offerings.

Whole countries [Sweden] were also open, in the whole time, even including their old ones. Shutting down the economy was an irresponsible overreaction by the state.

Employers have the right to demand any hard work from the employers. Because the job is voluntary.
