Shaming, gaslighting, and excessive micromanaging at work is making a comeback—and it’s all thanks to unpopular policies like return-to-office (RTO) mandates and mass layoffs. Failure to act costs employers over $2.1 billion each day.
The surest sign the capitalists know their class interests and are rallying against the poor is the fact that they will not even make concessions where capital and labor both win.
I generally agree. But I also tend to attribute this more to bourgeois sadism than class consciousness. Many of them seem to truly feel they’re not winning unless the prole class is actively suffering.

If there’s no path for the bourgeoisie to massively better themselves, they’ll take relative betterment by destroying social reproduction.
Class is nothing more than a proxy for social status, and social status isn’t advanced under capitalism by lifting all boats.
