What would happen if you stripped the Billionaires of their money and liquidity (and left them a paltry amount of $1m each) and gave the money to rhe masses? Would trickle-up work? Have we seen this tested in the past? How do we know if we've never tried it?
It’s just a guess, but what do you guys think?
The single thing I hate most about working for a company or organization is rude coworkers. I’m not talking about people who are having a bad day every once in a while. It is those who consistently greet others with a negative attitude. This is not saying “hi” but instead biting peoples heads off when they walk into the room or blaming others for every problem they come across. They are the ones that cast a negative vibe when you walk into the room or office. Seriously it doesn’t even take much to say hello and at least try to make an effort to not be rude. BTW I am currently going through this situation and I hate it. I have to work with this person four hours per month which isn’t too much but I still dread and loathe it. 🙁
If so, buy a lawyer a drink or get a free consult or pay for half an hour & find out if you can record all workplace hours surreptitiously. If so, buy a discrete recorder (usb, pen, etc) & archive each workday using an autoeditor to cut out quiet spells. Make sure everything is timestamped. Back it up on the web. Preferably encrypted & offshore. You are welcome in advance. Take down my username or bookmark this & let me know what happens! I'll still have this account in a few years probably.
A Recruiter* sorry for the title fudge. I was approached to be a recruiter and, having no idea what I was in for, thought it was a great opportunity to escape the retail grind and get a 'real career' I burnt out in 2 months, literally couldn't bring myself to do what was requested as I found it unethical and just plain bad business. I wanted to help people, not hunt them. And now I sit here, a new notification each day of someone accepting a connection request sent prior to my leaving, I've updated all the account info yet still keep accruing followers. The account is in my name and has no ties to the recruiters, I am going to start posting and spreading antiwork propaganda there. Many of the people who accepted my request are IT TYPES, who are also fed up with the system. If you can…
I do contract work in US but my wife was about to deliver our first kid in another country. I asked my boss to leave for just 3 weeks. She approved of it and seemed fine. 12 hrs before my child was born i get a call from the recruiting agency that they are canceling my contract. My boss said that I'm not talking any initiatives and taking too many days off as i had too travel back and forth to see my wife. Everytime i did, it was no more than a week or 2. Funny part, i don't even get PTO. Now i get to spend more time with my kiddo without the noose of work.
Had my annual performance review today. Got 100% of my target bonus based on my consistently strong performance. Annual pay raise 0% Long term incentive (vesting stock) $0 Pointed out to my boss that a zero % pay raise when inflation is pushing 10% is in reality a pretty significant pay cut. On the bright side he did reiterate how much he appreciates me and how valuable I am to the team. How does this all connect to my two new jobs? Job 1 get laid off and packaged out. I don’t plan on leaving for free. Job 2 Tune up my resume and start looking for a new gig in my very hot sector. Bit bummed as I like where I work and was planning on staying until I retire in the next 5 years give or take. On the bright side I can continue to get paid while…
