that would be great. Now go elect non-lunatics who are not in the tank for corporate interests and ignore culture war bs

And then the BANK needs to borrow money

TIL https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Landlord%27s_Game

like the corporate world, the game is rigged towards the ruthless, selfish types. I never really understood how it was supposed to end. Everyone goes bankrupt and one person ends up with all the money is how it always went at our house growing up. If you lost at monopoly consistently to your sibling as a kid, you’re not the capitalist

Rewriting the rules.

something like that

Fediverse is step one

and I, sir, shall start prolifically posting on the sublem and draw the crowd in!

you can add me as a mod if you want. I mean, I think I have the right mindset to be moderating here. I would also recruit others if things got busy.

Benefits went out the door. We had a modest insurance policy that the employees benefited from, yes, but after the axing here, I just set up a computer with a HEALTHCARE.GOV sign over it and assigned someone to walk everyone through the signup, and almost everyone now has better, cheaper coverage than I could ever provide. That’s one. Two: I switched everyone to a salary, and eliminated excessive work hours that would qualify as ‘overtime’, even though they’re technically contractors now and don’t need to track their time. I judge their work by results, not how long it takes them to do it. I know most people wouldn’t go through all this, but I’m shit nothing if I lose these talented people. I DO NOT assume that i can easily replace them, most managers biggest mistake atm

You need to edit your grub configuration to just put Linux first on the list

should just rage quit and delete the account leaving the sublem rudderless

lol I pay others well because I believe in people. I run the company

this is the thing that the HAVEs (and their apologists) won’t look at directly in the eye. When you can easily absorb rises in the COL, it doesn’t occur to you that it’s literally killing other people.

The raises in pay should mirror inflation. Period.

I have, and do. When the labor market started to go sideways, my solution was to fire my employees and rehire them as independent contractors. Now I have no employees, no insurance issues, no payroll issues, no nothing. The savings for me has been great, and this has enabled me to pay them more. They have to deal with their own taxes now, and some HAVE had issues because they’re spending Uncle Sam’s money right when they get it, but they learn to sock it away or make quarterly payments after messing that up once or twice. Pay less, get lower quality help. Period.

I appreciate your intellectualism, but this theory of yours is based mostly on conjecture. I think if pay raises were met with lowering CEO compensation and bonuses, things might just balance out

The reason to dislike him in this instance is that he takes ALL the credit for the company’s success, never mentioning these two or Tesla’s beginnings

I’d like to test your theory. So, if I’m correct, you’re saying if I get paid MORE money, my quality of life will go down? That’s an interesting take
