LifeFuel I Have a Business Idea That Will Make Me Rich if I Get Capital in the Future

[CursedMutantSoul]

I'm just going to undercut every worker by paying people nothing (or minimum wage).

I see SOOOOOO many people on the job market right now who are unemployed, begging for UNPAID WORK or minimum wage. People with elite degrees, people with lots of experience. Nobody will hire them because they didn't work at a Big Bank like Goldman Sachs or a tech firm like Microsoft. People who couldn't get an internship at J.P Morgan so they worked at a small no name firm that went under, and they got laid off.... those people are now UNHIRABLE because they didn't work for Microsoft.

How about instead of paying these entitled retards $80-100k a year for white collar work to work 8 hours a day, we hire people for $40k a year to work 80 hour weeks, just choose the people desperate for work.

In a perfect world you would have been burned to the stake for saying this.

Actually the people who deserved to be burned are the scumbag recruiters and hiring manager who pay people $80k a year or more to only work 40 hours while the people who are truly desperate and willing to work hard are earning $0, rather than hire two people for $40k a year.

Wealth inequality at the level we're seeing is atrocious.

Oh okay that's what you meant
My bad

Yeah, seen this way it's completely illogical but recruiters are being recruiters aka scumbags

You'd think there'd be an arbitrage opportunity then to undercut the companies that do this.

I get the instinct you’re reacting to—there are a lot of qualified people struggling to land roles, and it can feel like the market is irrational or stacked in favor of pedigree over ability. That part is real. But the specific idea you’re describing—paying extremely low wages for extreme hours and targeting desperate candidates—isn’t just harsh, it’s legally and practically a dead end.


First, the legal reality: in most countries (including across the EU), what you’re describing would violate labor laws pretty quickly. Things like maximum working hours, overtime pay, minimum wage protections, and worker rights are not optional. An 80-hour week at $40k equivalent without proper compensation would likely get flagged fast, and the penalties aren’t small—they can shut a business down before it even gets traction.


Second, the business reality: even if you could do it, it wouldn’t work the way you think. People who are overworked and underpaid burn out fast, make more mistakes, and leave the second they get anything better (which they will). That creates constant turnover, low-quality output, and a reputation that repels both clients and future hires. You don’t build a strong company on a revolving door of exhausted people—you just build chaos.

People won’t be able to leave because they won’t get roles elsewhere, there is no more jobs.

Also, labor laws are gay, once again why Dubai is so much better
