The company 3M, which produces N95 masks (and other things) crowed on its earnings call that “the team has done a marvelous job in driving price. Price has gone up from 0.1% to 1.4% to 2.6%.” The CFO told investors, “We see that to be a tailwind.” Tyson, one of the big 4 meat monopolies Biden is targeting for price-fixing saw profits nearly DOUBLE after price hikes of 32% on beef and 20% on chicken which the CEO attributed to the “continued resilience of our multi-protein portfolio.” In its 4th quarter report, Johnson & Johnson revealed it raised prices…despite raking in billions from COVID vaccine sales.

I was supposed to work until next Friday. My boss has been terrible to be since I took four days off to mourn the loss of my family member. Since then she has been passive aggressive, extremely micromanaging, and just plain rude to me. After our meeting today I sent an email stating- My boss has been hostile and has made it so uncomfortable for me to finish out my two weeks. I sent it to her boss’ boss.
