About This Quote

A job is the ultimate pyramid scheme. If you get a job, you become dependent on the company you work for. If the company goes out of business, you lose your job. If the company grows and creates more jobs, you’re stuck in the middle.

The more people hired, the more money is spent on wages, benefits, and salaries. It’s like an endless cycle of ever-increasing demands that leaves few with any real power or contribution to the company.
