Remember the CEO who raised salaries to $70k?

[S.J.]

Idiots. Most employees aren't worth minimum wage. To pay some dumb shit (who is just looking to collect a paycheck and work as little as possible) the same amount you pay your best employees is just plain stupid. The guy deserves to go under.

Most employees are not worth minimum wage. Okay, you're a moron. While I would never suggest a company pay all of their employees close to the same amount, saying that most people are not worth minimum wage and suggesting companies hire dumb shits to work for them is just insulting to hard working people. The maintenance guy for a company may work his ass off and do a great job, but his job does not demand $70,000 per year. That does not make him a dumb shit, lazy, or undeserving of a respectable wage for the job he holds. This is why you guys fail so often. You can't be reasonable about anything.

I don't expect you to understand because I can tell you've never run a business. If you had, you would know I'm right. Any employer will tell you you have to go through 20 shitballs before you find one good employee. That's just the way it is, I don't care what kind of business it is, most people are lazy and unproductive, they want a paycheck but they don't want to do shit to get it. Try running a business for 10 years and come back and tell me about those wonderful and dedicated employees.

This isn't socialism, LOL.

Yeah actually it is in a nutshell.

 

[SwimExpert]

I see I am in your sig line. That means I own you.

Your slavery fantasies would make for a valuable case study in the psychological research into the causes of lunacy. Your only real objection to all of this is that in your opinion this man has a moral obligation to hire illegal aliens at $2/hr. You complain about the left, but you're the biggest leftist on this board.

If you think I'm th ebiggest leftist on this board I'd suggest you dont know what "leftist" means. Or you're just jack stupid.

Are you saying leftists want people to hire illegal aliens at $2/hr?

He doesnt know what he's saying. Al he knows is I put sand in his mangina and he's all pissy about it.

 

[Iceweasel]

Why do you care what he pays his employees?

Well, maybe because it serves as an example of how fucking stupid leftists are? His own brother is suing him last I heard.

 

[Mr Natural]

Can't you just feel the conservatard love towards workers who, by the way, represent the vast majority of the population and are hopefully not stupid enough to vote against their own best interests.

 

[iamwhatiseem]

We already have an active thread about this. Your side lost.

Says one of the biggest idiots on the board.
"Your side"....how incredibly unAmerican.

 

[Zoom-boing]

Case in point, HRC has experience in the Senate, as FLOTUS, and as SoS. These are facts. I would imagine that in the next 2 days, one of you blowhards will be reciting the "she's not qualified" billabong while insisting others with fewer credentials are.

obama was way under-koalified; you guys said that didn't matter. Bar has been lowered, stop bitching.

Voting liberal IS voting against their best interests. Libs understand economics like baby Johnny understands his allowance money. Or a government worker that can't live on 75k a year.

 

[Mac1958]

This has been a weird story from the get-go.

Hey, if the guy (or any business) thinks it can pulls this off, great. Done right, it can increase the value of the business and therefore his equity. Win-win.

Doesn't look like it was done right.

This idea obviously isn't going to work for businesses that have a significant amount of low-skilled or unskilled labor too, of course.

What does that even mean? Its like the what the hell does a living wage mean?

I vote for freedom, low taxes and jobs

Guess you vote for high taxes, a Nanny state, Unions and no jobs

My living wage I can do with out shopping at Macy's, cable television

But I guess you need to shop at Macy's, cable television, premium gas for your car and stuff

 

[PK1]

Yeah well that didnt work out quite like he wanted. Turns out you can't pay everyone the same because not everyone performs the same. Oops. Not like we didnt tell you. Now he has to rent out his house to make ends meet. Socialism fails 100% of the time. more at the source.
Remember the Seattle CEO Who Raised All Salaries to 70K Here s What Happened Next...


When Dan Price, founder and CEO of the Seattle-based credit-card-payment processing firm Gravity Payments, announced he was raising the company’s minimum salary to $70,000 a year, he was met with overwhelming enthusiasm.

“Everyone start[ed] screaming and cheering and just going crazy,” Price told Business Insider shortly after he broke the news in April.

But in the weeks since then, it’s become clear that not everyone is equally pleased. Among the critics? Some of Price’s own employees.

Maisey McMaster — once a big supporter of the plan — is one of the employees that quit. McMaster, 26, joined the company five years ago, eventually working her way up to financial manager. She put in long hours that “left little time for her husband and extended family,” The Times says, but she loved the “special culture” of the place.

But while she was initially on board, helping to calculate whether the company could afford to raise salaries so drastically (the plan is a minimum of $70,000 over the course of three years), McMaster later began to have doubts.

“He gave raises to people who have the least skills and are the least equipped to do the job, and the ones who were taking on the most didn’t get much of a bump,” she told The Times. A fairer plan, she told the paper, would give newer employees smaller increases, along with the chance to earn a more substantial raise with more experience.

Your view is a glass half empty.
What a Con! Get a grip on your paranoia.

The glass is actually half full and getting fuller:
"Three months before the announcement, the firm had been adding 200 clients a month. In June, 350 signed up."

Your source is a Con job. Try this more balanced piece:

Pop your head out of your ass for a second and explain this:

Dan Price, 31, tells the New York Times that things have gotten so bad he’s been forced to rent out his house.

“I’m working as hard as I ever worked to make it work,” he told the Times in a video that shows him sitting on a plastic bucket in the garage of his house. “I’m renting out my house right now to try and make ends meet myself.”

I've been a manager of other employees since I was 20 years old. While there is a share of lazy, unproductive people out there particularly in the retail and public service sector, to say those qualities characterize most workers is a gross overstatement. Evidently you suck at hiring people if that's been your experience.

Do you have evidence showing otherwise?

Yes.....only a lefty, with their skewed sense of the truth, reality, right and wrong, and the concept of good and evil ,would think this would work.....when we first posted about this I said more power to him...it is his company, and he can run it anyway he wants....of course the lefties thought we would hate this guy because in their twisted world view, they think we only like success if it means crushing people....they have no idea who we are or how what we believe actually works...


so....I wished this guy the best knowing how it was going to turn out......when the guy cleaning the office makes as much as the guy working 80 hours a week....you are going to have an issue......

 

[2aguy]

Why do you care what he pays his employees?

We don't....but the sad fact is the left wing drones will see him do this and then want the federal government to force every other business to do it.......that is the problem......
