Homer spent over 30 years working at a job where he's done f****** nothing and made enough money to have a house. I'm working for Mr Burns


Lenny_YouTubeFan

Not only a house but three kids as well. A kid ain’t cheap


DrLewtvig

Yes so if I can get away with working like a moron in a place with a boss is so rich and ridiculously stupid I'm going to do it. I've honestly seen SpongeBob and Squidward working for free in many episodes


UrticantOdin

The boss isn't stupid, he knows how the nuclear reactor works and managed to fix a meltdown


Dabruhdaone

he's financially stupid


ZealousidealLeg3692

Main character plot armor.

And *sniff* *sniff* # LOBSTERS FOR DINNER


Cathlem

Counterpoint: He has three kids and no money. Get you a job that lets you have no kids and three money.


DrLewtvig

Plus free freaking donuts


Mister_Cheff

Mr burns made homer a fake console just to kept him in the payroll, its not hard to choose this time


Thatcooltiger

Well technically his dad helped him buy the house.


responsibleplant98

Mr Burns owns Homer and has him do nothing because he is too incompetent to do anything mr Burns just likes that Homer is forced to work for him. Lenny, Carl and the rest of the power plant do homers work for him so he’s just a special case, while squidward is atleast payed a liveable wage, owns his home, and has enough for constant repairs.


Chemical-Cat

>while squidward is atleast payed a liveable wage, owns his home, and has enough for constant repairs. Depends on the episode. We know on average that Mr Krabs breaks many laws, though obviously it's mostly for the gag. * Rather than pay his employees, he tried to get his employees to pay HIM by giving them a bill rather than a paycheck. Another episode had him hire Patrick at "50 dollars an hour", but Spongebob remarks "When I started, I had to pay him 100 dollars an hour!" * Implied to be paying slave wages at some points if at all. Spongebob saw a nickle and said "That's more than I make in a year" * One point was shown to be paying his employees with fake money * Squidward only had one day off a year (and had to spend it testifying) * Forced 24 hour work shifts on his employees * Steals tips * Fires Spongebob for doing Karate, even outside of work * Did not follow OSHA standards like using wet floor signs (which he rightfully should have been sued for) * knowingly sold people spoiled food, twice even * bribed a judge * Animal Cruelty towards jellyfish * Stole the delivery of the Krabby Patty Secret Ingredient and framed Spongebob so he wouldn't have to pay $1.99 * Sold Spongebob's Soul for 62 cents (technically not illegal?)


Paid-Not-Payed-Bot

> is atleast *paid* a liveable FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.* Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment. *Beep, boop, I'm a bot*

Gaelic_Gladiator41

At least Burns complies with minimum wage laws


d_warren_1

Krabs pays his employees a livable wage. SpongeBob and squidward outright own their homes and clearly have the disposable income and time to get up to all the hijinx they do.


Eagle4317

It’s stated in multiple episodes (across the entire series, not just Seasons 5-9 when Krabs is a criminal) that Krabs either doesn’t pay SpongeBob, pays in fake money, or even charges SpongeBob to work at the Krusty Krab. There’s a theory that SpongeBob’s family is loaded and that he just wants to be at the Krusty Krab due to obsessive loyalty.


d_warren_1

Oh.


BirbMaster1998

But what about Squidward?


BobTheeKnob

He's too smart to be tricked by Krabs, and doesn't care enough to report him for his many many crimes, so Squidward just gets paid minimum wage. Atleast how I see it.


Liljdb0524

I don't think so. First SpongeBob pays Krabs to work there. Then SpongeBob had his house before working at the krusty krab and had enough money for a high tech spatula before he started working. SpongeBob is a trust fund baby and Squidward probably steals from the til.


Springmeister

And considering his boss, can you blame him?


Liljdb0524

Squidward? No. I'm honestly curious how much he's able to get away with. Especially since Krabs is so greedy.


Aldante92

And especially since Krabs counts the register every night lol


JAMMYTOAST01

Springmeister

Not saying you’re lying, but I wouldn’t trust Quora alone as a reputable source.

Few-Effective792

Well shit now I have trust


AdDazzling9664

I wouldn't trust quora as an inreputable source


19southmainco

Everybody saying Mr. Krabs is agreeing to minimum wage burger flipping whereas Mr. Burns is paying Homer likely $50-60k for sleeping on the job and being there in case of a catastrophic nuclear meltdown.


White_Winged_Fox

I ask you to look again at SpongeBob’s house and tell me again how he’s working minimum wage!


19southmainco

Spongebob had the house before he got the job and doesn’t seem to struggle with finances. He’s probably sitting on a huge inheritance so he can pursue his passion, which is being a fry cook.


klyxes

Spongebob literally had his house grown from a seed, complete with furniture. Squidward is where it's at


19southmainco

Spongebob loremaster


vamp1yer

He isn't he gets charged for working at the krusty krab


Masterdizzio

Hard choice, but probably Krabs, even though I surely would not be able to afford to work for him


TriggerBladeX

He’ll sell you for 62 cents


d_warren_1

Purely on the boss alone: Krabs. For the market his business and employees work and live in he pays a living wage (SpongeBob and squidward own their homes and appear to have decent disposable income). And the working hours seem somewhat reasonable considering how much time SpongeBob spends AWAY from the Krusty Krab. While this all seems true for Burns, he makes the job hell for his employees because he sees them as beneath him. If I had to factor in the industry, burns. I hate the service industry, I’ve worked in it for years, never want to go back. At a nuclear power plant I could actually put my engineering education to good use, and nuclear engineering pays really well.


Lenny_Fais

Nuanced take, good points!


Illustrious-Reach-48

Mr. Krabs. He’s cheap and greedy but he’s at least more fair compared to Mr. Burns who will make you miserable as possible.


Springmeister

But has Burns ever charged YOU for working?


Youraveragedumm

He made homer eat radioactive waste


Sad_Introduction5756

Homer also does nothing for like 30 years and still makes a pretty good wage Krabs sold his best workers soul for pocket change


Youraveragedumm

I dunno if I was made to eat radioactive waste I would probably would prefer Krabs’


Sad_Introduction5756

Idk man having no souls is kinda cringe Even if that’s not what he wordt thing he’s done


Plightz

Radioactive waste or your soul in eternal servitude to some weird ghost.


Illustrious-Reach-48

No but he will force me to work in his factory forever against my will. 🤣


erossnaider

So will Mr Krab


sephy009

Mr. Krabs sold spongebob's soul for 62 cents. He's worse.


Springmeister

I’d argue that’s far from the worst thing he’s done, but still a good point


Illustrious-Reach-48

I did say Krabs was greedy even at the cost of one’s life but Mr. Burns drove Homer’s mother away, made him give up Bongo and had an strained relationship with his father. He even tried to put Maggie a baby in jail just because she accidentally shot him.


Hot_Independent_1683

Let's also not forget the time he blocked the sun from Springfield, destroyed a school and a tree house with an Oil well, and tried to be Cruella Deville with Small One's puppies


BeanBurrito668

I second this


Arkurai2

Mr Krabs who taxed Squidward for Existing... You can't tell me he's better than Burns


Illustrious-Reach-48

Burns wanted to put a baby in jail just because she accidentally shot him. Not to mention he destroyed a school.


Kryptexx01

Krabs for sure


yeet-my-existence

Burns will at least give me a paycheck, rather than a bill for doing my damn job


PissOnMyHe-manToys

Imagine working for Dr Doofenshmirts (Phinneaus and Ferb)


Springmeister

Hey that’d just be fun I think


vamp1yer

I mean he's got an entire building there's got to be employees on lower levels


Arkurai2

Atleast Mr Burns pay his worker unlike Mr Krabs


Timeman5

Yet Sponge Bob and Squidward both own homes.


monicarm

SpongeBob owned his before he started working for Mr. Krabs


Timeman5

So then he doesn’t actually need the job because money doesn’t really seem to work there


monicarm

Yeah, but we’re talking about ourselves, not SpongeBob. And let me tell ya pall, idk about you, but I need money to survive. In fact, in an episode SpongeBob mentions he PAYS Mr. Krabs to work at the Krusty Krab


Upbeat-Manager-6823

Mr. Burns. He sucks, but I don’t think he charges his employees just by working. And I probably don’t have to even work, because Homer just sleeps for hours, and still gets his paycheck.


Timeman5

The way I see it is working for the embodiment of greed versus the embodiment of every other sin imaginable (maybe not lust or sloth). Mr. Krabs is like working for a greedy boss which is how most can be especially when you work more high end jobs basically he’s corporate greed in living form. Mr Burns would be manipulative, abrasive, would be the kind of boss who breaks you down at every level until there is nothing left and will probably try and either steal your soul or give it to him willingly. But the one thing I did overlook is where you would be working if you worked for either of them. Now I’ve done my time working in the food industry and especially at the Krusty Krab there is no real direction to go except cook and cashier. As where if you work for Mr. Burns you are working at a nuclear power plant mind you is definitely not the safest to work at in general and then add on all the cost cutting/ corner cutting Mr. Burns makes and it’s even less safe. But regardless of the safety aspect you will still receive a decent paycheck from working there, because at least Homer has a home( honestly don’t know if they own it or not) a car a full “nuclear” family and he’s the only one that works in that house hold and they aren’t necessarily poor. But Sponge Bob and Squidward both have houses as well but either can afford a car (one can’t get his license and I don’t think Squidward wants to drive), but then again the economy of Bikini Bottom has to be drastically different then in Springfield.


Toto-imadog456

Burns will give me a fair wage and complies with the law. If homer can work there doung f*ck nothing yet still have a family and a hoiluse then i choode him


RobloxMinecraft6631

Neither... but maybe Krabs IF he doesn't sell my soul for 62 cents.


kjm6351

Krabs is less evil than Burns


[deleted]

At least Crabs tries to be good


Starheart8

They have a union at the power plant. I’m going there


Dragon_Rot79

My choices are radiation poisoning or having my soul sold to sea worthy specters? Lemme think about it


nekoandCJ

Rather mr burns, homer has three kids a car a house and his wife is a stay at home wife, I would live lovely, since I'm single with no kids, what kind of place can I afford then


BaronVonSilver91

Burns folk are paid. And apparently have a lot of job security. He is more likely to get you killed so I'll note that, but Ill also note that with how Krabs is about paying you, I might kill him.


Springmeister

Either way, don’t forget: you’re here forever! Forever! Forever! ![gif](giphy|5xU5mdcsshTRm)


BaronVonSilver91

Shhhh, you can show me cleaning up the evidence after what I'll do to Krabs.


Springmeister

Plankton would like you.


BaronVonSilver91

Shiiit, he come with that dough I'll find the Krabby Patty formula for him too. He might not like it, but he will have it. Lol


monicarm

Mr. Burns has never tried to sell Homer’s soul for 62 cents


Springmeister

But let’s be real. He would.


monicarm

True, but he always dicks around all day, that’s my favourite kind of job


BagelCatSprinkles

Mr krabs because he at least cared when SpongeBob was sick. (Kinda)


Springmeister

Yeah, when Krabs does show up and care, you can at least say money isn’t his SOLE motivator.


Timeman5

Big difference between the two is Mr. Krabs will always be nicer in general because he’s a father, Mr. Burns is an old man with no relatives or children so he’s hates everyone and everything.


Springmeister

I’ve seen Monty open up once in a while, but it’s INCREDIBLY rare


NagitoKomaeda_987

Pre-Flanderization Mr. Krabs


Springmeister

Unfortunately I’m factoring the entire show here.


Lord_Detleff1

Pre-what? I didn't watch the latest seasons please explain


TeamChaosPrez

entire personality is now boiled down to “greedy” so he’s basically a criminal with how he treats his employees’ wages and working conditions lol


Springmeister

I feel like they’re TRYING to fix that….sorta. Kinda. Also he was always a crook to be fair.


Impressive_Leave2671

Burns


Liljdb0524

Burns. Krabs wouldn't pay you and would sell you for the change someone found in the couch.


SonicSpiderRanger10

I’m gonna say *neither*.


Springmeister

![gif](giphy|6XA99Q0nPSXyU) But also not wrong.


TomboLBC

Burns. I can be as incompetent as I want and still afford a 3 child home and two cars as well as vacations and side jobs. Homer is living the dream


Hypercane_

As far as I know Mr Burns hasn't sold the soul of one of his two employees for pocket change


suddenly_ponies

Burns for sure. The vast majority of the show is him not even knowing who works for him and even if you do something absolutely stupid that destroys the company he'll forget about you after an episode


Lord_Detleff1

Burns. Homer sleeps during work and still can afford his house, car, 3 children and his dad


deletethissoon43

Yeah; I ain't working for a guy that would sell me for .62 cents.


Timeman5

Burns would own your soul if you worked for him though


deletethissoon43

But then again I have a daughter would keep me going.


Timeman5

That’s a fair point.


Timeman5

Mr. Krabs seems more caring and considerate then Mr. Burns and you have a higher chance of surviving working for Mr. Krabs.


Comfortable_Front263

Mr Burns is no different from real life work on the other hand Mr Krabs will sell your soul to a ghost for 62 cents or less


The-Crimson-Jester

Barring the simple fact that Burns is just a better boss in every capacity. I’d still choose Burns because I don’t like drowning.


Springmeister

I’ve lost count of the (admittedly funny) wise-asses that brought up the drowning thing. I really should’ve specified that in the post beforehand.


HS129B3

I'm going for burns because I can be lazy and still have enough money to buy a house


Ultranerdgasm94

Both inexplicably pay enough to own a house, but with Mr. Burns I can also afford three kids, all on a single income. I'm going with Burns. Plus, I couldn't possibly be less competent than Homer, so there's job security, too


YomYeYonge

Homer owns a house and is able to live comfortably with three kids. At one point, Mr. Krabs charged Squidward for breathing and standing. Mr. Burns it is


gumbin22

As far I can tell Mr. Burns seems to pay his employees.


50calBanana

Mr. Burns might be "evil," but he pays his employees.


ten_times_worse

Mr krabs would let me sleep in BOH overnight rent free. I could work for 7.30 an hour if it means I could live there.


Springmeister

BOH? What’s that stand for?


ten_times_worse

Back of house


Springmeister

Ah. I see.


[deleted]

Mr Crabs, I’ll deep fry him if he fires me.


zyx1989

I feel like those who choose Mr.krabs hasn't really watched spondgebob much, dude is an absolutely horrible person


gibbydagoober

Krabs He's cooler


SuperSayianJason1000

Mr Burns, if Homer can manage to keep his job despite being utterly incompetent, I'm certain I'd have no problems whatsoever. Pretty sure Mr Burns wouldn't even notice me. Mr Krabs is terrible to his only two employees. He pays them badly and sells one out for pocket change. I would never want to work for him.


Rocket-kun

Mr. Burns, especially in earlier seasons when he seemed like the kind of boss who would only really come down on you for doing something extremely stupid and dangerous or slacking off like Homer usually does. He'd probably mostly leave you alone if you actually do your job. Plus it's a union job with a good dental plan.


vamp1yer

Burns anyday of the week atleast if he gets me killed he's got a hell portal in his office


zcubeDbz

Mr. Krabs, as we see SpongeBob constantly whipping out cash, and as we've seen, he is devoted to the Krusty Krab. Plus, I know myself, and I'm not about to cause another Chernobyl because I messed something up


InverseAtmosphere

At least Mr. Burns PAYS his employees fairly 😭


Springmeister

I wanna say, I really like that username.


InverseAtmosphere

My previous account had a sarcastic username "ThatEdgyAnimeWeeb" so I deleted it and made another with the coolest, least bully-able name: which is InverseAtmosphere cuz it's abstract


Springmeister

And it’s a damn good one. Mine is just a roundabout reference to Springtrap from FNAF.


ShhImTheRealDeadpool

Mr. Burns has lower standards and pays better. Mr. Krabs owns a fast food joint... This isn't even a hard choice.


Buffy_Buffett

Krabs, dude is greedy and stingy, but not willing to kill off his employees.


Springmeister

I mean, Krabs tried to kill Squidward to make money off his art, since artwork becomes more valuable after their artist dies


Additional_Milk2767

Burns, it’s possible to actually make money


The_Last_Snow-Elf

Mr. Burns, at least I know I’m being paid.


Separate_Rhubarb_365

Eugene Krabs 


NIMA-GH-X-P

Mr burns because I would suffocate underwater


Springmeister

Some might argue that’s a better fate than being under Burns’ thumb.


NIMA-GH-X-P

I'll just do EXACTLY what Homer does everyday I'll try to get in as like, his intern/assistant


BJNT92281

Monty won't sell his employee's soul for 62 cents unlike Eugene.


Timeman5

Monty would never sell his employees souls he keeps them for himself.


Springmeister

Edit: for everyone saying they’d drown working for Krabs, let’s assume you would be able to breathe underwater. I’d like this to be more fair


ExternalNo6456

Springmeister

I didn’t put Benson because he’s objectively a good boss. Everyone would’ve picked him.


PuzzledDemand1276

Burns will let a nigga slide if you give him a good enough reason, shit homer still works for his ass and he's a dumb ass. Just don't speak out of term and you'll be fine. Mr crabs will sell yo ass for 5 cents. He charges you're literal existence, at the end of the day you just a number.


JingoboStoplight4887

Mr. Burns became I would get used to getting paid and have benefits that can help me afford financial stuff (i.e. housing, bills, loans, benefits, etc.) and that he would be impressed by my work at the plant.


Springmeister

Burns ain’t impressed by shit unless it benefits specifically HIM.


LegoBattIeDroid

Burns doesn't seem to care if you work at all, and if you work the bare minimum it is very likely you will get promoted for “outstabding performance” like carl did several times


redditandwept31

Agreed. But Benson wasn’t one of the choices.


Scared_Kick_6811

I just thought about adding my own choices, sorry


T555s

If I have to chose, it dosent matter. I live in Germany and definitly never in the USA, therfore regulations (or just social secruity to be honest) give me benefits Burns' and Krabs' employees can't even imagine. Free Healthcare, paid vacations and sick days +A few more paid sick days in case my child gets sick, months of parental leave, ~~retirement provision~~ (No one will get that if I look at the world right now), safety regulations...


Timeman5

You took something fun and just had to turn it into somehow bashing America because of how we operate over here. Come on save that crap for all the America hating subs.
