Chef Jim Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Now they are pissed off because they are losing their bonuses and stock options. Perfect example of nothing is for free. I’d take the options if given the choice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phony hysterics over the minimum wage rate could end if most employers did this. “Amazon to Raise Its Minimum U.S. Wage to $15 an Hour. . . . The new minimum wage will kick in Nov. 1, covering more than 250,000 current employees and 100,000 seasonal holiday employees. The company said it also will start lobbying Congress for an increase in the federal minimum wage, which was set nearly a decade ago and is currently $7.25 an hour.” (Amazon founder and chief executive Jeffrey P. Bezos owns The Post.) see below 1 hour ago, Chef Jim said: Now they are pissed off because they are losing their bonuses and stock options. Perfect example of nothing is for free.

B-Man Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 They raise their salaries without government regulation or coercion. Isn't that the way it is supposed to work ?

His employees get less now. And liberals are celebrating this. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Dude Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 I'm not sure I support a $15 minimum wage. What Amazon did is a bit different because even their entry level employees work significantly harder than say a walmart cashier. But, to me, the great fight of the next 20 years will be income inequality. And in my opinion, the BEST thing conservatives can do is participate in leveling things a bit. My reason is that I fear by not doing something, a groundswell of public support will erupt for "democratic" socialists, and then a manageable situation goes to complete socialist chaos.

No. People given handouts don't just stop asking for handouts. They not only want more, they expect more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Color me shocked. Quote According to Warborg, while the bulk of the demand is for degreed professionals, a labor shortage stretches throughout the entire job market, including roles that don’t typically require a college degree. ESD data indicate industries with the largest increases of jobs statewide this year will be in professional and business services and in construction, with the largest contraction of jobs in the manufacturing sector. So tell us all, dipschiff, which of these in-demand jobs are paid minimum wage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
