Gen Z job seekers should be allowed to steal everything this person owns.
I aint gonna say I condone crime but I also did not see anything either
Clumsy rich and their property 🐸
It’s a crime that these people are rich in the first place.
Never forget, wage theft is the most common form of theft in the USA!
Eat the rich. Farm their unplanted lands!
sure as fuck don’t condone parasites either lol
When the revolution comes, people should remember her and where her mansion is
Good luck finding her in the first place. Why do you think they push the Internet so hard?
This is the newest form of slavery. Subtle.
Slaves are expensive, you have to pay upfront and provide “housing” and “food”; desperate workers are so much better, they have to pay for their own shit with whatever scraps you throw at them!
Slaves are only more expensive upfront. Long run it’s far cheaper considering they will have kids that you then also own. There is a reason why those inbred chicken shit sister fuckers in the south had slaves instead of paying farm workers.
considering they will have kids that you then also own.
Only in the fucked-up american version of slavery. It was never sustainable long-term.
Brazil also had that fucked up thing. A slave’s children were owned by the same asshole that owned the slave. It was only around the 1850s, decades before the full emancipation (1888), that all newborn children were considered free. It didn’t mean much in most cases, since the mother being a slave meant the entire cost of caring for her kid would eventually become a debt to them
It’s not a “job” if you are working for no compensation. That’s slavery, my guy.
But they definitely already know that.
Even slaves got food and shelter.
That’s because they were “assets”! Now people are disposable– trash to be dumped when better bodies come to replace them.
We need better laws to protect workers in the US.
That’s because they were “assets”!
There’s a basket with fresh fruit right there in the break room!
If you work at SquareSpace, start talking about a union. The C-Level there absolutely gives no fucks about replacing you.
Ask her to lead by example.
She claims to have done so:
"I went to the business listings and I just started calling up companies and asking them if they had internships available and that I would be willing to work for free.”
It worked. Mathur’s first foot in the door of employment was at the travel firm Travelocity during her first summer at the University of Texas. She did admin and research for its general council—all for free.
I wonder how the money worked at that stage in her life. Was she living off loans? Was she living off wealth from another source?
I just started calling companies and asking
Immediately I don’t trust whatever advice she’s dispensing. You can’t just “call places” or “walk in with a resume” anymore. The phone numbers are all automated systems that will never put you in front of people who can hire you. You need a badge to get in anywhere that’ll give you an internship which you can’t get if you don’t work there, and if you did somehow talk to someone they’d just shrug and say “I don’t know how that works, just go to our website and apply there”
Even ignoring the “let them eat cake attitude” it’s obvious she doesn’t even realize how hiring works at her own company. I guarantee you that her advice would not work at Squarespace
Yep, it was her generation that quickly pulled up the ladder behind them.
I imagine it’s something along the lines of calling people at companies who her family knows. I just assume when rich people say nonsense like that, it’s just networking or nepotism that normal people don’t have access to.
Ya, and when rich people get an internship, they are not expected to actually do work. But they somehow believe that they are actually doing work and they believe they did hard work.
Highly likely that there was some connections to grease a bit of the wheels of commerce.
All these “i worked as an intern” usually have some connections that “picked” them from that intern pool. The other interns usually tend to be the fall guys. “So sorry all of you missed out but this person is the bestest!”. While being the son/daughter/friend/family of someone in that company.
I used to work at an insurance company, and I ran the internship program for my department once. When we were doing the interviews, one of the candidates was from my geographic area, which is pretty rural and not many of my coworkers were from anywhere near there. He’d launched a free tutoring program at his high school and carried it on a few hours a week through his first couple years of university until that point. For paid work experience, he had mostly agricultural work, because he had to support his family.
I’m realizing now that I may have been a little naïve about it, but no one else even wanted to consider him compared to the students who were able to do many more extracurricular activities and were able to dedicate more hours to non paid work.
What I’m trying to say is that even if nobody is actively corrupt, it’s a structurally classist system.
What I’m trying to say is that even if nobody is actively corrupt, it’s a structurally classist system.
Yep … this.
Whether there are lies or nepotism or completely inapplicable experiences or just confirmation biases … the very idea of the internship to get your foot in the door is classist.
The idea that you have time to burn for free for the sake of your career is classist. The idea that an economic system premised on everyone being employed somehow should work by having those employees constantly “hustle” to get employment is classist. To speak of these notions as universally applicable without acknowledging their classism … is classist.
I wonder how the money worked at that stage in her life.
People can do a lot if mommy and daddy support them regardless. That’s why making things work for recipients of nepotism should not be the basis of the economy.
Probably parents money. But even if it were a loan she’d have to have had more privilege than most to get to that position anyway.
This is where using your chemistry schooling to make street drugs comes in.

Eat the rich
Spoken like a true capitalist. Work for free, kiss the boots of corporate execs, and maybe we’ll throw you a none.

If that wasn’t on purpose that typo is apt.
It wasn’t on purpose but glad it works even better
From her Wikipedia page lmao:
Kinjil Mathur is an American business woman known for propagating slavery type employment for Gen z which reflects her capitalist mindset of exploiting people for her own personal wealth. Her quote “You really have to just be willing to do anything, any hours, any pay, any type of job—just really remain open.” 1 been widely slammed by Gen z generation .she is also the current chief marketing officer of Squarespace.[3][4][5] She was in Vogue’s list of “49 incredible Indian women who are creating legacies across the globe”. [6] [1]
The wikipedia mods, however, keep rolling back these changes, despite the fact there is nothing wrong about it, in fact, it’s backed up by articles highlighting her statements.
What the fuck is this, is Wikipedia only allowed to say good things from those fuckers?
If you have to think outside the box to get a job to survive, then the job market is critically bad.
The ownership class should be trembling.
Either the government rolls out new deal measures, yesterday…
Or all the industrialists and officials burn in their compounds,
We’re still a long way off from that.
Remember, it took Hoovervilles and mass suicides to correct from black Tuesday, and there was just as much wealth inequality then as there is now.
Until a large portion of the economy just collapses, the government won’t do anything. And they’ve learned their lesson about letting things get that bad, so they’ll just balance us on a knife edge for as long as physically possible before things inevitably collapse.
Learn how to garden if you have the room. If not, learn how to can your own food and mend your own appliances and clothes. It’s going to get a whole lot worse before we get another new deal.
The Democratic party is already in a situation where it can’t make mistakes and it can’t get unlucky or it loses the presidency, and if it loses the presidency then elections will be neutered and the US becomes a one-party autocracy.
And if it becomes a one-party autocracy, then it’ll have to perpetuate the enemy within myth (and eventually go to war) to keep the people obedient. And that means burning (maybe literally) a portion of the population, starting with LGBT+ and enemies of the regime (that’s all the principal democrats) and going for non-whites, non-Christians, disabled folk, unemployed folk, people who have unnecessary jobs, uppity women, anyone overly ethnic, countercultures and eventually, anyone who isn’t sufficiently patriotic or is too slow in snapping their salute.
At least this is the model that Reinhard Heydrich created in the development of the Sicherheitsdienst, and is replicated in the standard operations of ICE regarding immigrants and anyone else they’d rather see disappear.
But the German occupation of Paris was brutal despite themselves, despite that they were ordered to govern the French gently, and the brutality was so extreme La Résistance manifested in days, starting small and becoming a formidable fighting and mischief force within two years. So if Trump wins the election (or secures power through a procedural coup d’etat or through a violent coup d’etat) the resistance will be organizing across states by the end of 2025, assuming open civil war doesn’t break out.
They try this bullshit for generations now.
You couldn’t get gen x to work for free, you couldn’t get us millennials to work for free, what makes you think you’ll be able to get the next ones to work for free lol.
“Eventually food insecurity will make people desperate enough”
Not sure how working for free would help with that though.
Because when everyone except the upper classes is financially insecure you would be willing to do anything at a chance to not be, including giving away your labor for free for a chance of a paycheck maybe.
The peasants in the French revolution were “willing to do anything” as well.
Indian leadership in American companies. The fucking worst.
Why’s that
They bring the caste system mentality with them
This right here. They go down the fixed hierarchy rabbit hole really hard really fast, no mobility or movement in the company either.
They tend towards toxic attitudes about work and work/life balance.
Rule of Acquisition #91: Your boss is only worth what he pays you
There has got to be other measures, such as how much her skin would fetch as a couch, or taking her trappin
She’s ensuring her place in line for the guillotine
I’m sure feeling hungry for a bit of the aristocratic white meat.
Except she isn’t white.
Not in the way Swedes are white. I was making a reference to the other white meat but it turns out pork is red meat, and so are human beings.
It’s still meat, tho
Hey, Squarespace CMO? You’re a cunt.
