Capital thinks it loses when labor wins. It’s not completely zero sum but they are too dumb to see that. Labor is winning right now.
Many of the companies that have done layoffs in the last year are desperately hiring to fill the gaps they made for no reason. They (corporate leaders) want recession and high unemployment so bad they are flailing.
What I want to know is how much of those are fake jobs that were posted online? And how much on average are those jobs paying? Number of jobs are pointless without other facts to accompany it… :/
It’s probably wishful thinking, but I could see this possibly curbing some of the entitlement people can get when using a tip-based service. And that makes for a better work environment.
Tipping is ingrained in our culture so much that people will still feel obligated to. The best way to stop it is to take the tip line off the receipt entirely.
There can be a discussion about Aljazeera as an organization, but that has nothing to do with the content of this article.
And reparations is not only about slavery. This panel wrote 1,075 pages on the subject and it doesn’t sound like you even read one article about it before trying to dispute the validity of a reparations program. Again, there can be discussion about how reparations should be handled, but it should start by acknowledging that colossal amount of work that has already gone into the conversation.
Then it becomes a competition not in who can provide the best service to customers, but in who is able to look the best to the boss. If that means being fast and efficient, and not minding if you step on customers’ toes, then the customer experience will falter. If that means talking about other employees’ mistakes behind their back, then the workplace culture can become acidic.
Most jobs work that way. A job has a set pay, and you can get fired or promoted. Tipping is unusual: A janitor doesnt get paid a different amount each paycheck because of how clean others feel it is this week. Cashiers who help you find things in the store don’t make more that day.
Base pay has to be the same. You get merit based raised after that. How will they know who’s better and who’s worse at first? They won’t that’s why base pay is equal for everyone.
Some employees have so much experience or other skills that they can immediately ask for a higher base pay but it’s not the average experience.
