Wages are guaranteed money. This is good for employees, if no one comes in you still get paid. Sure you might get less tips but at least you know you'll get a steady paycheck.
I'd start on the left side then work my way to the right. Slowly but surely placing each floor in parallel to the last. I'd apply the grout ever so lovingling, caressing the seem between floors. I'd fill the gaps with a mortar and pastel slowly working the tool into the floor until it is satisfied. I would say to the floor "there is no other way" as I get it wet with my mop, spraying every inch of it with thick sprays of soap. The floor would know it was wrong but love it too much to care. The floor and I would lay in a heap our bodies intertwined and pulsing in post flooring bliss.
Usually you want the long side to go against the longest wall, this is to minimize cuts. But it's really a matter of personal preference, there is no "wrong way" as long as you leave expansion room on the edges and have a way to cover any rough edges around the doors and transitions. Also from experience make the offsets between rows somewhat random, even a three row pattern can be seen.
You can't go lower than minimum wage. Those making minimum wage would benefit the most.
Companies still have to keep competitive salaries to maintain a workforce. If they lower their salaries they risk losing employees who can choose to go somewhere that doesn't lower salaries.
It won't cost employers anything to keep the same salary. This money would presumably be coming from reallocations of taxes that are currently being collected. For the employer it's like getting a free raise for their employees.
"We don't actually like to use the term 'shareholders' because they aren't the only ones who benefit from our companies success. Instead we like to use the more inclusive 'stakeholders' because this includes the employees, customers, and everyone who has a stake in the company." -Cooperate hr bullshit 101.
It just means that employers will have to pay employees for the work they perform. I dont think there will be major changes. It will just require companies to better define the hours their employees are expected to be working.
I had no idea there even was an air Wisconsin. It looks like they operate locally in the Midwest, and provide services for American airlines in the area. Their website seems to be loud and proud about the new wages, I’ve heard that there is a pilot shortage so that certainly makes their union much stronger.
Something something free market something something lack of competition something something monopoly corporate greed exploitation of the consumer after putting competition out of business.
The original post is just a bad sentence. I’m about 12.4% sure it’s a run on sentence. Good school or not the structure is all wrong. I’m still confused as to if the 12.4% raise was offered before or after the union threatened to strike. The sentence does a terrible job describing the cause and effect of the situation. Wouldn’t it make more sense to bring up the union threat before the raise? And as others have pointed out 12.4% isn’t even correct.
I’m not sure what the American education system is and what that has to do with this? You seem very condescending towards people who are confused by this clearly confusing sentence. “Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.” Is a grammatically correct sentence but good luck understanding what it means without looking on Wikipedia.
If you work at one of the large tech companies that, in the last few weeks [or months], have laid off thousands of employees, you may be wondering what the hell is going on. Especially if the company you’re working for is not actually struggling economically right now. If you work for Google, say, you must be thinking, “What...
It’s always something about “improving performance” or “lowering overhead”. The real reason is money. If the company looks like it’s improving the stock value will go up and the right people will make money. An easy way to do that is fire a bunch of underperforming employees before a shareholder meeting. It doesn’t hurt production too much if they’re underperforming compared to the average employee and it doesn’t require a large capital spending plan to improve things.
A proposal from the Labor Department would make an estimated 3.6 million salaried workers newly eligible for overtime pay. It covers workers earning less than $55,000 per year.
People should be paid for the work they perform. If someone is hired for a 40hr a week job but it takes 80 hrs a week to do the job the company needs to hire someone else or pay the one employee more. Companies are stealing time.
Earlier in the pandemic many news and magazine organizations would proudly write about how working from home always actually can lead to over working and being too “productive”. I am yet to collect some evidence on it but I think we remember a good amount about this....
I think it’s partially rage bait at this point. At the start of the pandemic remote work was a new idea and it was easy to get views on an article about it. Now you need a shocking title that’ll enrage people to get engagement on the topic.
Since companies adopted computers and the Internet it’s been possible. I remember my dad working from home every now and then. But the idea that almost any desk job could be done remotely full time is new.

Almost all remote-work news is negative now but was positive in the beginning of the pandemic. Have you noticed this or am I going crazy?
