We already knew the rat race. Now the multinationals have taken us to a new level. Not content with making us run to produce and buy from them, they are now making us dance.
Je suis tombé jeudi soir sur un reportage de la Télévision d'Etat Suisse, celle qui me ponctionne chaque année plus de 400 balles sans que je n'aie rien demandé. Autant donc en profiter de temps en temps. Bref, ce que j'ai vu m'a sidéré.
This brought back memories not so far away when I was working hard for the beautiful eyes of a Swiss multinational. Now that I work in a local SME and I have made good progress in my quest forfinancial independence, I see this with a hint of amusement, but at the time I would have laughed very bitterly.
We see good little "soldiers" who get fired in the blink of an eye. The multinational nevertheless has the extreme kindness to offer a replacement job in the best case scenario at the other end of Switzerland, in the worst case scenario in another European country, or even on another continent.
Really too much fun. And the guys are leaving, some with their families, while others "abandon" their loved ones for the week and drive over 1,000 km every weekend to see them.
All this for a shitty job, less well paid than the one they had before.
We really need to stop taking the piss out of people. I don't think the assholes who make these kinds of decisions would be willing to make even a tenth of the sacrifices that these valiant employees make.
It is really time to rebalance the scales. And to do this, we must use the weapons of the leaders of multinationals, by investing in shares to become rentiers.
Picture the scene: a financially independent employee who gets summoned to the HR office to be relocated to China... If I were him, I would dance, not like a rat, but more like a cicada who sees summer coming.

Hello Jerome,
I am straying somewhat from the theme of the enslavement of the individual to multinationals, but I came across this article with a rather sensational title, it must be said, while doing research on the size and financial solidity of the main ETF issuers. I found their interweaving quite (or even very) surprising.,,,,
A priori on the international network it is intersected

Happy Sunday
EXCELLENT this article. Thanks for the input. I would like to say that it surprises me but unfortunately it only confirms what many people already think around here… Very difficult not to get screwed with this team. It reminds me of an article I wrote five years ago (!):

in fact guyem, you don't stray at all from the theme of enslavement, you are right in the middle of it 🙂
If we are not careful, it is difficult not to behave like a rat!!!
And here are the Panama Papers which prove us right...
Indeed,,,!! But in a certain way, from the point of view of swing trading on large ETFs such as VIG, VWO, XLE it is almost reassuring,,,, the threats on one of these issuers in this case spdr & vanguard seem illusory given the imbrication, or the result of media manipulations,,,,
