kuddles posted:Still makes you wonder whether it was an actual piece of garbage manager with a power complex or if the company put enough pressure on her to force her to be that way and then used her as the scapegoat when the nightmare PR scenario occurred. I don't wonder at all. That manager was probably the perfect psychopath to move right up the management chain. But she ended up on the wrong end of the PR stick so the other psychopaths dropped her.

For that, we are very sorry.”

sebzilla posted:5 hours a week on "business meals" is some bullshit too when you know for sure all their employees are getting half an hour unpaid lunch break while their bosses are counting it as work time and claiming expenses for the food as well. When we have civilian bigwigs come work with us our lunchtimes immediately go from 1230-1300 to 1100 -1300 (actually leaving at 1030).

Outrail posted:I guess this goes in this thread. Let's pretend for a second that I'm very dim. How do mega corps post huge profits and make payouts to shareholders and at the same time not pay any taxes? Like what's the rationale here? The only thing I can think of is the pay is still taxed. So if you bring in some factory/warehouse/call center/whatever your area will get the benefit of the income/property/sales/etc taxes on the people that work there. Also, I'm pretty sure that payouts to shareholders are taxed.

MRC48B posted:IDGI, why would they be seeking to hire someone, when retaining them as an independent contractor relieves the company of so much liability, both legal and financial? I would think that a straight up mercenary would be more of a risk to secrecy. Where as a "company man" might be more likely to keep it quiet. Or maybe the type of professional who can do all that stuff isn't going to do it for less than a high salary and benefits/retirement?

We absolutely failed (continue to fail) at the politics of "winning" wars. But poo poo, we were killing those soviet style fighters by the literal truckload for every one of ours who got iced. Pretty sure most of the enemy tank crews we killed didn't even see it coming.

To relate this to capitalism there's a lot of parents just checking right out of the public schools and either taking their kids to private schools, or building a community just outside of a large city, incorporating and creating a school system for rich people.
