Ungrateful Workers Rant

So let me get this straight: i work my ass off building up this company, keeping it afloat, investing enormous amounts of resources and time into doing so, taking on the very perilous risks, knowing that if it all crashes and burns i’ll be the one shafted by it all and left with the bill. and now that i’ve invested all of this and made it work despite the odds, now that it’s actually become successful… you bloody taffers, who shouldered none of that risk, who are already payed well, and treated well, with countless benefits and good treatment, up to and including planning a completely different route at great expense of time so that you wouldn’t have to work in nasty terrain… you now want a share in what i’ve built?
what the fuck is wrong with you?

They built the track, i built the fucking company. i have supported this company on my back for all this time. i have dragged it out of bankruptcy countless times. i have worked my ass off getting the materials, be it in the lab or in the bone market or in parabola itself. i have driven myself to near poverty time and time again. i have funded this whole enterprise out of pocket, and when that wasn’t enough i bargained and cajoled and stole and borrowed. the part the tracklayers played in the construction of this railway is large, yes. and what do they get in return? good wages! good treatment! gainful employment! me? i don’t get any of that. i don’t get a stable paycheck for my labors. they get fair pay, and all sorts of benefits, and the knowledge that even should this endeavor crash and burn, they don’t lose out. they can just go on to some other employment, with whatever savings they made along the way. me? i don’t have that. if this fails, i lose everything i invested in it. all the time and money and blood and sweat and tears. i may not be doing the same kind of work that a tracklayer does, i may not be out there building the rails themselves, but i have put far more into this than any of them. i have shouldered far, FAR more of the risk. if they want a share in the company, how about they go and source the materials themselves, expend their own funds, work ceaselessly WITHOUT PAY DAY IN AND DAY OUT, DELVING INTO RED SCIENCE AND UNREALITY AND DOING RESEARCH THAT SEARS THEIR SKIN AND SHAKES THE VERY FABRIC OF THEIR SOUL.
Then we can talk about them having a share in the company.

They do work day in and day out for no money at all and your research is to help them with what they find out there that you don’t even know about.

No money at all? what the bloody hell are you talking about? i’m not some communist bandit, i pay them fair wages. more than fair, even, considering i stopped this strike by raising them. and that’s not even considering all the benefits i offer them. and yes, my research is to help them, although i’m not really sure what that last part is about. i can hardly do research on things i don’t know about, after all.

Indeed you are not a communist, because they'd actually be supporting the workers lmao.
How are you paying fair wages? You're spending 20 scrip to build tracks. Only 20! That's enough to buy you 20 beers at upper river! And that's to pay for all the tracklayers!
They are angry because you have the means of production, but you are not producing out on the field. You have the track, the money, everything, but they are doing the dirty work. Bloody bourgeoisie!
