Yes but to be fair, I don’t care about my employer either. I think I’d prefer a simple e-mail rather than listen to someone face-to-face or over the phone blow smoke up my ass about how much they regret having to do this.
Read that again. “Paying employees is the top risk to the economy.”
That shouldn’t really be surprising to anyone though. Employees are a huge expense.
If my rent goes up, or the cost of groceries keeps going up, that’s a huge risk to my financials as well. Yet no one expects me to just roll over and take it, I’ll look for a new place with lower rent, even it if means downsizing, and I’ll look for lower priced food items or even cut specific foods from my shopping list. And this is while I keep on spending my disposable income/entertainment budget, and putting money into my RRSP/TFSA, and keeping money in a savings account in case of an emergency. Just because I have reserves doesn’t mean I want to pay more for rent or food.
Companies are no different. Can you explain to me how it makes good financial sense when I do it, but when a company does it people freak out (even though they have no valid alternatives)?
I don’t know about you, but I eat when I’m hungry.
I’ve said that for years now, bring back Swatch .beats!
It’s a shame it never caught on, especially in the internet age.
There’s a digital billboard six blocks away that lights up the wall on my 38th floor bedroom at night whenever it cycles through a white ad at 3am. Seriously? What the fuck.
until it’s night time and they is no… wind
Spot the person who’s never been to Alberta. It’s ALWAYS FUCKING WINDY HERE.
The gov’t can request info from the CRA on profits the big grocers make, compare them to pre-pandemic numbers and adjust their tax rate.
You can’t adjust the tax rates of INDIVIDUAL companies.
He should tax the fuck out of them
Ok, but realistically now, how would you even do that. What would be the law you’d implement to allow you to do that? That’s not how taxes work at all.
It doesn’t affect us day-to-day no, but honestly I like being part of a ‘Commonwealth’. I like feeling like I have something in common with Australia, or New Zealand, or the UK, even if I’ve only ever been to the UK for a few hours.
Your family name (for most people, unless you’re George Hitler) has no impact on your day-to-day, this to me seems like saying “We should just get rid of family names!”
Well, they really don’t like it when you call them a cunt here.
