I had an uncle who nearly tested this theory.
I hope he gets his license pulled soon.

The closest I could think about was Economists speaking out about Reaganomics. I also couldn’t find anything exactly like this, however I did find Bush Sr. Calling it voodoo economics and Democrats actually are credited in some cases as calling it Trickle Down economics as a negative. Even Gerald Ford attacked it, which is something coming from the guy who pardoned Nixon.
I found some criticism from Martin Feldstein in 1986 about the strength of supply side economics and some “extremists”, though that was after the fact.
But then you can’t fire them and not have to call it a re org.
It’s nice, but it comes with micromanagement. They are like fleas, though the biting is more painful.
It’s a setup for them saying you may identify as Trans, then switching it up by explaining some news for you, as in something said in the news, aka a storm coming
Won’t someone think of the poor capitalists who can’t love better lives then those around them!
/s, just in case.
Yeah I was wondering if it was an underhanded way to get rid of people without officially letting them go. Seems like a lot of time and money tracking people to do that though, so I really have to wonder if they’ve lost the plot, thus me leaning towards incompetence.
That all said, and to hedge my bets, I haven’t seen their Financials. Maybe the verification is using cheap labour like YouTube review systems, for instance, or maybe they are really bloated.
Hard to say, you could be right. That’s where I’m less sure. I’ve had jobs where a (not direct manager) boss thinks I do less than I do, and more than I do.
The ones who believed I did less believed they did more than me regardless of what my manager reported or actual work done. The ones who believed more consistently didn’t hand me work and I eventually would leave.
One job I had different people who disagreed about the actual amount of work I did based on if I was at my desk vs the amount of awards I had vs my lunch breaks vs my extra work projects. I’d have feedback sessions with my manager about burnout but also if I was taking too long for lunch and going home too early.
What I’m saying is I think people are terrible at assessing subordinates work.
So I’ve worked in business for 17ish years now, and the only consistent thing I can say about business leadership is they are there to have their egos stroked.
They do not care about money or other people until they look bad, and even then they don’t do anything until someone threatens to take away the group of people forced to listen to them.
Working from home hurts their ego. This method (RTO) doesn’t improve value and increases turnaround, which increases expenses if you are happy with the amount of people working for your company, as replacing people costs money.
So either Dell still needs to get rid of people, or a bunch of old fucks need someone to suck up to them in person.
Born Canuck here. Yes one of us, ya hoser.
It’s behind a pay wall, however based on the summary, I’m assuming no one brought up that it’s costs an average of $2,600 (per Zumper) for rent downtown and that may be causing issues with not wanting to commute 60+ minutes downtown (per Science Direct on Commuting Times and depressive symptoms in Korea it increases depression)? Or that there’s a ton of Condos for sale that are small and cost a mint to buy?
If thats the case, then the interviews shown don’t seem to be addressing the cause of the issue: it costs a lot to live in downtown Toronto and the median average pay is $69k/yr, per stats canada in 2022, which if we use the 30% rule for rent, means average rent should be $1,725. Now that rule may be outdated, or requires you to live with someone, in your tiny 700 Sq. Ft. Place, and there’s no rent control anymore, so prices can now jump and you have to move? Which is more time spent doing things you hate and having less money? Or that it costs a lot for lunch when you commute unless you dedicate time to meal plan on half a day on the two days you take off during the week? And all of that to have to dress up for work (yay, more costs!) and be interrupted at work, or be guilted into staying later because the boss doesn’t think you achieved anything because you leave at a normal time (that’s anecdotal for me, im just ranting now)
Man I’m frustrated by these articles. Maybe the people who keep bribing our politicians should use some of that money to convince them to make downtown liveable so their office properties keep their value rather then acting like all us workers should just suck it up and come in to help their portfolios.
100%. Honestly it’s mostly just a sleepy fishing town with one. And a good brewery, decent restaurants.
It’s a cute town, I visited last year.
You are totally right, it’s crazy to think back to it. I was that 12 year old once or twice.
Even more screwed up was there were smoking sections with walls or without. Without… well, it’s smoke. So it’s going into the non smoking section. With walls? It was like an aquarium.
Man, it was rough.
At family friends you’d take a break to get some fresh air or a bathroom break, as they smoked indoors and you had to be nice.
At restaurants I would push my parents for non smoking. One time they skipped that option and it impacted me so much I threw up all over the back seat.
They no longer opted for the smoking section ever again.
They were subject to the same propaganda we all were and no one is immune, so yes, feeling empathy is OK.
Also there is a huge potential problem when you give a group lots of power and then under pay them. They are a lot easier to bribe.
I’m a dude, so being fearless in what I want to do without people questioning me has been a boon in life. Sucks others can’t experience that.
On the other hand, other guys and women assuming I’m an idiot who can barely cook/clean and that my wife handles everything domestic (she doesn’t) is frustrating.
Nonbinary people I have met don’t though, so that’s nice.
I’d make a new Breath of the Wild, but have Link be kidnapped and the game is a mix of stealth as Sheik and Roleplaying as the princess for hel0 from the different kingdoms.
Merchants have become so powerful that I, a serf, have been taught number solely to account for every penny they make. For this, I’m allowed to live an okay life. I do it with magic (Excel) because they are so big and don’t want to hire many of me. They still act like the Dutch and East India Companies, with slightly fewer atrocities.
Hennessey is a Cognac that sells itself as high end. Hip hop bands would buy Hennessey as a sign they had made it when they got big.
