Interesting. I wonder what the number between 5 and 10 was offered that was called insulting. I’m also curious if these folks are exempt or not, I take it not. They are also asking for a 10% reduction in work normal working hours, so 40% raise in two years with 10% less productivity?
I thought that the discussion has been very civil, educational and entertaining. There are diverging viewpoints but still an excellent discussion.
Putin was never actually a communist, everything he did he did for himself. He is after all considered to be the the richest person in the world...
So, he's like basically every other communist leader the world has ever seen?
CEOs are normally on the board for multiple companies at once. They don't work full time or long hours, and they literally have no risk because when they screw up, they resign with a golden parachute worth millions of dollars and get hired for millions somewhere else.
I work 40+ hours a week, often times being placed in positions where I'm risking my life (police officer), in bad weather, shit hours, and every major holiday.
Perfectly said
Wow that couldn't be farther from the truth. I know our Salesforce CEO works crazy hours and everything stops with him. Every major decision ends up going across his desk even things that don't seem all that big of a deal. Our CEO makes 30 million for a much smaller company dollars wise than the auto industry and no way I think the dude is over paid as his performance is a huge reason why we are valued where we are.
Exactly, he is nothing more than an (albeit very successful) authoritarian. It really doesn't matter what a persons politics happen to be, if they are an authoritarian sociopath (or is it psychopath), their goals are: consolidate power, put strict controls on everything, close the ranks with strong allies, take the money to caymans...
It's not political in the sense of Republicans vs Democrats unless you consider unions and corporations proxys for each but that's really not what's happening here. More economic ideology than partisan politics.
That's the most ignorant thing said on the internet today:
You mean just like our politicians and the people who own them along with the Wall Street and Fortune 500 executives??
I think most of us can have an honest debate without disrespecting each other. I don't hate someone who disagrees with me politically. Discussions help everyone see both sides. As long as we aren't name calling and being disrespectful, I think Admin/Moderators are willing to let an important discussion like this go. Afterall, we all have an invested interest in the Gladiator and want to see a resolution.
Sorry, I should have said "significantly less risk" being a gas station employee. Over 60k LEOs were assaulted in 2020. We train multiple times a year, every year, on how not to get killed on duty. How not to get killed is like 40% of the academy. That's a major part of the job, and we go into every call doing what we can to minimize the risk of getting hurt/killed and it STILL happens often because it's often out of our hands.
