"Are you complaining about the company changing and expanding its business model, sweet vulnerable venture capitalists getting swindled in the board room, or something else?  Or you've just ""decided"" that someone is ""evil"" and now you just want to demonstrate how smart you are at identifying and pointing out things?  ""Oh look! See! This is &lt;random thing&gt; that supports &lt;the big pharma narrative&gt;""."
I agree so they should fix it.  And um... Is that what motivation looks like to you? Imo motivations implies people are doing things. Things are not happening.  Care to dispute the three fact based points I made in my last reply?
Except automation produces an increase in productivity through better leveraging of capital. In the past, increases in productivity were often seen through better leveraging of the workforce. When it's better leveraging of the workforce that drives the increased productivity, you pay the workforce better. When it's better leveraging of capital, you pay the capital (investors) and the managers of that capital better.  Also, it's hard to say that the middle class has been in decline. The wealth gap between the middle class and the upper class has been growing, but overall the middle class is better off now than at past points in history. The same can be said of the bottom rungs. Access to health care, good food, information, air conditioning, etc is better now than at any point in the past.
I agree with the first part, but once they come under pressure for continued low revenue growth they will finally re-learn that higher wages lead to higher demand. The higher demand would lead to greater sales which would offset the loss of margin from increases in worker pay.
I will start making food that people love.  1517 is old. Food should be old too. A good market for launching new varieties of food. The advantage is that I can experiment whatever I want; free to do anything. Every time I launch a new dish in the market, chances are very high that people would pay special attention to new tastes. The money wouldn't be a major turning point there.  Feeding people with different dishes would bring in reputation among the community. That's all I want for my business to expand smoothly.
"The snarky part of me wants to say something like ""but hey, the wealth will trickle down, right?""  However, at least they're providing some kind of gainful employment, and they're acting within regulations so...even if it ain't perfect, it's still better than all those people being unemployed."
It is said that behind every successful man is a great woman. This saying applies in the world of fashion, too, albeit with a few tweaks to it: behind every successful designer or fashion brand is a dependable fashion publicist from a trusted PR agency.
Aha, perhaps...also, perhaps someone like Louis with a product such as this, to the (reasonably) technically literate while pushed through a next-generation service that isn't rapacious when it comes to something as simple as digitally moving money...perhaps it's time.  Shake our fists to the heavens, and all.
&gt;because they've reliably delivered in the past, we can assume that their promises are good.  Exactly, that's one of the points I was trying to make. It's your past work that determines your status.  The other point I was trying to get across is that paper money is a symbolic representation while the things we consume are material objects and services. If the production is not there money is meaningless.  When people complain about the high cost of college student loans, for instance, they forget that a lot more people want a college education now than in the time their parents grew up. If there aren't enough seats in the classrooms, some people will be left without the college education they want, no matter how the financing is provided.
It does when you argue that a single factor is causing the price chart to move a certain way.  If they start to think it's perhaps more complicated than that, then yes, it breaks down quickly, which was precisely my point.
I don't know, I'm constantly surprised by the frequency with which individuals seem to be surprised by the consequences of their actions.  I've taken many shit jobs just to pay the bills and gain experience.  It takes foresight to get ahead.
that's not the joke so much as it is natural progression.  for a while, consumers were less interested in customer service and more interested in the product they were getting. now, so many products have nearly identical specs, quality, and etc. that good customer service can be used as a distinguishing fact to push a consumer to a given company, so companies are now caring more about their customer service reputation.
Up the standards for employment, raise the wages, and give your people customer service oriented training, and McDonald's service could be as good as chikfila's. And it is already proven that people will pay slightly more for great service (chikfila) so they could definitely sustain it with a price increase.

"In the sense I mean, ""luck"" is that which didn't come from you that, without which, you would not have been successful in the way that you were.  So, being born in the developed world, for instance, is some ""luck"".  There's also the element of being dependent on an environment existing that you usually are not aware of, but said environment is actually somewhat fragile, and if mistreated, might fall apart on you, making further success therein impossible.  Think of a fish.  Is it ""lucky"" there's an ocean?  Yes, because if the fish pollute it and suddenly the ocean itself is making them sick and preventing them from being successful, it should be counted as ""lucky"" that there's an ocean, and the fish ought to do what's necessary to keep their ocean healthy.  Replace ""fish"" and ""ocean"" with ""person"" and ""economy/society""."
America and the rest of the West should stop looking backwards and forwards towards developing an advanced, service based economy. Really, if your job can be done by an immigrant with limited English skills or by an overseas worker in China, do you really deserve to have that job?
I know you don't want to hear this, but your life is anecdotal. What you have lived applies to you and no one else.   It's easy to make decisions based on emotions and your story is an emotional one. But if you read my words and look at my links we are not that far apart.  A single grandmother with a disabled daughter raising her grandson is the definition of moving the process along. You would be hard pressed to find someone in a very poor country that would object to helping that scenario and certainly not in the Western World.  The real question is how did she end up in that situation. Much like the $22 Trillion spent on poverty, the aid she received before you came along did not help her or her daughters. The system in place did not work. The fact that you somehow clawed out of there while people around you were doomed to a much different fate shows that you are the exception to the system helping, not the rule.   Now let's move on to FUCKING SOLUTIONS, no slogans (as you aptly put it).  1.Baltimore has been going down hill for 50 years. What needs to change?  2.Detroit same. What needs to change?  We can agree that trickle down is not the answer (although pure free market would be Fantastic)...
&gt; Higher standards are, and will expand, if there is consumer interest in them doing so.  I'm not exactly sure what you're saying here, but I feel like this statement completely ignores the effect the labor movement has had on working conditions.
It's not projection.  I was born less than a serf.  I grew up between trailer parks and sleeping in cars.    The manner by which I climbed out provided me the skills that make me qualified for the situation described above.  The military and a decade of conflict does wonders.  Status quo remains?  I prosper.  Technology makes jobs obsolete?  I prosper even more.  Society collapses?  I'm nobility.
That's fine.  But the point is that he's running for President now, and pointing to his professional success as a reason to vote *for* him.  In fact, his business experience is frequently pointed to, lauding him as a *job creator*, which kind of implies American jobs.  He hasn't used this as a jump-off point to discuss how to avoid furthering this kind of mercenary crap.
There's also transit into and out of the top 1% - I don't have the figures at my disposal, but except for those in the 0.01%, making that hurdle doesn't imply that person will make it the next year.  For example, a couple on my street sold his bar for mucho dinero and then retired.
You're describing thievery   Someone started something successful and passed it on to their offspring. That's how you wealth is created. Innovation, risk, and hard work.   You feel entitled to what's in another's pocket. That's wrong. See that. You didn't work for it, THEY did
"Can't blame them; they've just adopted the popular US school of thought on business.   Essentially, ""Rush it to completion for short-term profits for upper management, and either hope to continue making a series of short-term profits to stay in business or let someone else clean up the mess."""
"I really like the author/speaker making the ""diamond"" analogy -- that there is no shortage of diamonds, you just have to be willing to pay the asking price.  Seems like in addition that that (the desire for a ""bargain""), AND again as the author speaker highlighted, the fact that managers want everyone ""fully trained/experienced"" -- combines with the idiotic use/abuse of badly designed pseudo-expert applicant screening software (apparently implemented on the same ""idiot manager/HR"" model that I saw in practice a decade or more ago already) that makes them (stupidly) claim that there is no one to hire.  *Which really just all comes down to BAD hiring &amp; BAD management practices.*"
I'm fine with taking care of me and mine. If I have the opportunity. The more that opportunity is squeezed, the more I'll go looking for the people squeezing it and capturing most of the income. Upper classes who don't realize this tend to see pitchforks out their windows.
I think that insurance is one of the best things ever created for this reasons:
"I think it's also a lesson to learn from this to document everything with a pen and paper. A dated note entry stating ""X member of management asked me to do Y"" could have gone a long way towards keeping this guy out of jail."
Yeah, I don't know about the other people here, but I'm not going to help you brainstorm how to trick this guy. You've not give us any reason to believe he's being dishonest.  &gt; He always puts emphasis on how much good he does for the company when he's just doing his job.  Maybe he's just looking for a pat on the back, who knows. It doesn't equal being a felon.
"Great find. The first sentence of the article itself is enough to raise multiple flags:  &gt; According to Michelle McQuaid, a world leader in positive psychology interventions in the workplace, [...]  A **world** leader? In *""positive psychology interventions""*? This whole article was written by McQuaid's PR staff. It reads like a company press releases of a new product."
Ramsay was a chef -- and a damned good one -- long before he was a celebrity.   The article lists principles that perhaps you, the all-wise, never-erring god of finance have no problem remembering or mastering. For others, however, perhaps people new to business, or accustomed to failing, it is an eye-opening and compelling read, made more interesting because of its comparisons to a popular celebrity known for his successes and a military organization that doesn't now how to fail.
Sometimes the simple ways are the best:
Policy makers who spent their careers pondering the lackluster demand for workers will have to turn their attention to a problem they have not had to fret about much in at least a generation: how to pull more able-bodied people into the work force to offset a wave of retirements.  Paid training for entry level positions.   The guy hits a lot of good points, even suggests making higher education more accessible. But if companies want good workers who remain loyal they have to take the steps necessary to treat them more than just a number. One of those things is either training new guys on the job or help put them through education.
You have to think on the margin. While you will always seek work in order to survive, as wages fall, the opportunity cost of leisure falls (and likewise the opportunity cost of working rises), and rational people will, on the margin, substitute toward leisure. Nothing to do with bad parenting. Just simple economics.
"So if you know what's inside a DB plan, you'll agree with me that the poor results of DB plans from the likes of Ford, GM, and others like state plans are the result of *poor management*, as opposed to the idea that these plans were a bad idea from the start.  I have to disagree a bit with your lottery analogy; winning the lottery is a one-time event that is almost always beneficial - in almost every way - to the winner.  It's an additive source of income above and beyond what was anticipated.  On the other hand, taking one set of financial outcomes that the recipient had planned on for possibly decades, and replacing it with ""good luck with this"" is *rarely* beneficial to the recipient, regardless of their ""personal discount rate"" (if they even know what such a thing is)."
The guy with the good paying job stimulates the economy better than 2 people barely scraping by. The growing economy then results in the second person getting a job too. If every employer subscribed to this world view then less people would be on welfare.
"Note that this particular cop has some kind of specialisation (""special-ops"") that would put him into a higher pay-grade, probably rising with experience in that field. Then he was promoted to sergeant and took on more responsibility. Again, he might well have had subsequent pay rises because of his years of experience as a sergeant.   Personally, I want well-paid public servants, who will do a good job. I want a guy who has spent 20 years in such a blue-collar job to be able to earn as much as a computer programmer who only graduated a couple of years ago."
If you don't mind being a terrible person to achieve personal success - it is a good book. I've had to non-pleasure of doing business with this guy and he is an absolute ass. He will weasel out of this because he is good at what he does.
"Chance presented me with the opportunities. Hard work enabled me to be prepared to take those opportunities when presented. Had the opportunities that I did take not presented themselves I was very prepared to move on to the next ones. I always say, ""I have backup plans for my backup plan's backup plan."""
Good catch. So Bloomberg came out with a good new article today. Read it on desktop, tried to find it on mobile to submit it (I figure my firm wouldn't be too thrilled with my username etc.) ended up with this. They had basically the same headlines.   I'll delete and resubmit.
"I was recently at a McDonalds who had someone doing this. They were not just ""standing around doing nothing."" They were also wiping tables, refilling number tents, delivering food, showing customers how to order and more. Efficient and most orderly visit I've had to McDonalds in a long time."
Started as pt at a grocery store. Will never get used to throwing all that good meat out. Still has 2 days but there's fresher stock in back. It seems having bold and full shelves is the reason. They throw out food to have that clean magazine photo look of a store.

"You're entirely correct.  It's one of those ""broken window"" fallacies.   Have you ever witnessed the anger of   the good shopkeeper, James B., when   his careless son happened to break a   square of glass? If you have been   present at such a scene, you will most   assuredly bear witness to the fact,   that every one of the spectators, were   there even thirty of them, by common   consent apparently, offered the   unfortunate owner this invariable   consolation - ""It is an ill wind that   blows nobody good. Everybody must   live, and what would become of the   glaziers if panes of glass were never   broken?"" Frederic Bastiat's 1850 essay, ""That which is seen and that which is not seen"" is still the best and most beautifully-written of such explanations.   As you point out, a gain for the construction companies is more than offset by the loss of life and financial expenditure of the insurance companies.  Plus, it is never possible to quantify the entirety of the loss in terms of opportunities foregone (""that which is not seen"").  People who were about to do incredible things but now gone.  Property, of any nature, no longer of use to build on or perform service. Any replacement comes at the expense of other opportunities."
&gt; grammar has nothing to do with being a good banker.  True! That was my mistake. (I mean, there are some quants who half-speak english) I just remembered couple examples from the top of my head haha

Scale Manager manufactures and selling the Quality Magnetic Systems for all types of Hard Water treatment. In the all our product variety of explanations are offered, most of which involve plenty of Magnetic water softener. Attractive fuel treatment once in a while reacts to this prevailing upon insights that the car producers and enormous oil organizations are contriving to stifle attractive fuel treatment to keep up interest for gas.
Engines also need the right attention to work healthily. Every now and then, they as for checkups and to keep them in good running condition, it is necessary to give them some regular maintenance. Keep these tips in your mind to let your engine run better and last longer, at the same time save you from spending unnecessary money later.
"I  particularly enjoy **coming back** to those with a bit detailed breakdown, a plan, saying ""this **will not** be done in that time"".  It takes stature in the workplace, but works wonders.  I have seen tasks taken from me and taking longer to be done by the other guy. The other way around, not so much."
"The problem is the use of short-hand. Their chopped off sentence. When someone says: ""there is a labor shortage"" what they really mean is: ""There is a labor shortage at the current wage."" A related problem happens when a company finds out, for example, that it would have to give it's 18 currently employed welders all a $10/hr raise just to attract 2 new ones at the new higher wage.  Another problem is there use to be trade unions that organized and maintained a talent pool that could dynamically meet demand for skilled labor. These trade unions have largely been done away with. They were the one's attracting, recruiting, and selecting skilled tradespeople just like colleges do."
&gt;Again what you said is irrelevant.   I literally explained to you why a certain individual might not be hired due to laws you proposed. That seems quite relevant.  &gt; People need to be able to provide for themselves.  You're still not getting the point. If you imagine yourself as an employer and you're told you must pay a certain base wage, you will not hire certain individuals because those individuals do not merit that wage. The higher the wage you must pay, the more people you do not consider for the position because they lack the skills/experience/education for that wage.  &gt;I can google too.  OK. What makes you think an individual that is unskilled, uneducated with no work experience will be hired for a job that pays $15/hr when that employer can find people that *are* skilled/educated/with work experience for that wage?
"&gt; That, and the fact that being a ""desirable job"" (in the form of ""playing with gadgets"") there is an apparently endless supply of applicants...  I've seen a similar dynamic in the video game design industry, which has a tendency for treating skilled and dedicated employees like complete dogshit."
Businesses have been using immigrants (illegal and legal) to screw labor in this country. Flooding the market with foreign labor [drives up supply and drives down wages.](http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2014/10/09/for-most-workers-real-wages-have-barely-budged-for-decades/) Maybe if we let the wages rise over the years, Americans would be willing to pay more because they would be making more.   I think so many people are hostile towards labor and defend corporations so much is that corporations can afford PR and labor cannot.
&gt; Then the author suggests discriminating against people from elite schools and never hiring them.  No, he suggests hiring based on class rank. Avoiding hiring from elite schools is a predictable outcome based on what salaries those candidates tend to demand from the market, it's not that those students are bad it's that they're probably a less cost-effective option than students from less-elite schools.
