This is why "just doing your job" is now called "quiet quitting". You'r not quitting, you're just fed up with all the bs your company overwhelms you with. You're no longer a worker, you're now a worker who has to enjoy his work.
The question is though, where does the boss begin and where does the worker end. Some leading worker of a shift in a production company is no boss in my eyes, but just a worker with different orders given by someone, who himself got the orders most likely
I see this as one of the reasons why workers in tech corporations hardly ever form unions. Everyone tries to act like they're friends, and it's even harder for those who are being exploited to speak up and thus potentially damage the "friendly" relationship with their bosses.
"The Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Zizek formulates something similar without putting his fingers in between! " I don't think you understood at all what Zizek was saying :)
@@Roger1777 yes, what he said that these modern bosses try hide capitalistic exploitation under a veil of "friendship". Not "what it is all about is that the boss must step into character as a visible and responsible role model," :)
@@Roger1777 lmao do you run a business? Zizek wants to end bosses, and the first step to him is to explicitly force bosses not to act as though they are our friends.
Yes, Slavoj, no one wants the bullshit attached to work. If I put myself out for hire, all I want is the money in return, not a turd pretending to be my friend.
I wasn't even responding to any of that, "friends with the boss" nonsense. Just his general attitude, an attitude not conducive to holding down a non-tenured job.
I love Zizek, but you have a boss that genuinely cares about his staff and the staff genuinely respect the boss. Like in a way where the boss's power emergent rather than dominating. It doesn't have to be one or the other of two shitty things.
I think hes making a point on how the power structure remains the same but because its veiled in friendship it becomes more palatable. There was a video of huxley talking about something similar and summed it up as us coming to " love our servitude". You could also look at it as an autocratic or perhaps aristocratic government parading themselves as a democracy. The suffering is the same but psychologically you belive your masters are your friends
@@davyroger3773 "how the power structure remains the same but because its veiled in friendship it becomes more palatable" It's not exactly that it becomes more palatable, but that it's a more subtle way to exert power. Because the boss is so friendly, you feel bad for challenging him, or demanding things (like days off and whatnot).
Nah... Yes, it does, this is why Slavoj Zizek is warning against it. People think it doesn't have to be one or the other, because they don't think about the consequences of either approach. Where there are no consequences, anything is possible and there are no risks. A boss is your boss, because he's supposed to exercise authority over you. He might like you and care about you, but you're dependent on him to exercise authority on you, in order for you to be productive and to keep your job. It's hard to do that as a friend, if not impossible. Who wants to be friends with someone who orders them around, and tells them what to do?

"Seriously can I get you some f*cking fruit juice?!"
You don’t get free friends by being a boss. You have to actually be a friend to get a friend.
Prince Zizek makes a sound point here.
It's even WORSE with Authority Figures of the Family!
Please explain, I want to know what you think

How many of you noticed his right hand locked between his legs ..to avoid touching his face and nose ...our guy is trying to remedy that problem..
Left hand* bruh
Couldn't agree more.
Yearly review coming up tomorrow. This is good warm-up
Yep, that certainly lacks in our society.
The day I will quit my job, I'll send this clip to my manager.
Never was something so true in the regards of truth. It's disturbing

KING ZIZEK!
OK! Ok Jeez I ll try... I will feel like a filthy capitalist but ok.
I thought this was Mitch and Cam from Modern Family
Where is this clip from?

That guy resign from his office right after the interview
That table is part of a children's chair!
(First comments are never the greatest.)
Does anyone knows if he wrote about this topic somewhere?

I don't know why, but I could really go for some fucking fruit juice right about now?
Thought we were going to get Zizek's opinion on Ornstein and Smough. Disappointed
...with that approach I doubt Zizek has held a regular Joe job down for any substantial amount of time. Love his humor though.

The fact you need to turn this into something against America is beyond me. You may be more narcotic than zizek....
Why Dutch subscribers??? Whyyyy
I guess he needs reversion to the 1920s for his ideology to be relevant again
Is zizek is open for sugarbabies?

Go back to dope smoking if you thing that bosses care.

He clearly didn't have 9 to 5 job recently. It would change it's mind after 2-3 days with the 'boss' he wishes for.
Why not the other way around? You want us to be buddies, we share responsibilities.
yes and why not also share the profits
@@nathxx7 The real question is do you share the same level of competence?
@@davyroger3773 Thats true, bosses rarely have any real skills.
I like Zizek but I think sometimes his commentary falls outside of the empirical
then you haven't yet experienced the situation he is talking about
With all due respect, commentary would be boring as fuck if it relied purely on the empirical
@@tangerinesarebetterthanora7060 fair enough
What's mean boss? Mafia? Politics? Or everyone it's boss by him/her self. And don't give a demn about.. What others doing... I am boss too. 😎😀
