Learn what?

2019-02-05 00:17:33 UTC  

Tim Pol is open minded. I was sort of expecting the same from you guys

2019-02-05 00:17:34 UTC  

What are you trying to teach?

2019-02-05 00:17:47 UTC  

A new way of thinking

2019-02-05 00:17:48 UTC  

Tim Pool is a commie.

2019-02-05 00:17:50 UTC  

I'm pretty open minded, But not to theft...

2019-02-05 00:18:24 UTC  

Theft implies force. Culture is persuasion

2019-02-05 00:18:24 UTC  

How is anything youve presented new?

2019-02-05 00:18:46 UTC  

You want to be more like japan but you want workers to have better lives

2019-02-05 00:18:48 UTC  

then how do you suggest that you mkae Musk give away 20 Bill?

2019-02-05 00:18:59 UTC  

It’s not new. That’s my point. It’s actually common in many business throughout the world

2019-02-05 00:19:12 UTC  

So you actually want to be nothing like japan

2019-02-05 00:19:13 UTC  

Not so much in the US

2019-02-05 00:19:22 UTC  

Cause I doubt that is going to happen, unless he loses it on a new big thing that doesn't succeed like his last few

2019-02-05 00:19:24 UTC  

Not exactly

2019-02-05 00:19:25 UTC  

There was a salary negotiated between the employee and the employer when the employee took the job. That's what the employee is entitled to. I dont why this is not hard to understand.

2019-02-05 00:19:28 UTC  

You want the corporate culture to somehow be what it is, but better

2019-02-05 00:19:31 UTC

This is a fun song to sing.

2019-02-05 00:19:51 UTC  

Japan was used as an example if how CEOs can cut profits and still benefit the company

2019-02-05 00:20:01 UTC  

You mean cut their salaries

2019-02-05 00:20:17 UTC  

^ why would a company cut profit

2019-02-05 00:20:23 UTC  

as punishment for fucking up and reducing company profit

2019-02-05 00:20:29 UTC  

cut profit litterally means falure

2019-02-05 00:20:37 UTC  

In the case of Nintendo yes, it was his own salary but he got money from shares

2019-02-05 00:20:58 UTC  

What you mean is you want executives to be punished when the company fucks up

2019-02-05 00:21:24 UTC  

remember that the overwhelming majority of Profit is reinvested

2019-02-05 00:21:33 UTC  

How did you draw that conclusion?

2019-02-05 00:21:43 UTC  

If you think companies *should* reinvest more of their profits into their company including human capital, that is fair. I don't think a company should be forced to do so.

2019-02-05 00:22:04 UTC  

Because you said case in point nintendo

2019-02-05 00:22:11 UTC  

But nintendo didnt give their workers more pay

2019-02-05 00:22:21 UTC  

They didnt in fact increase their worker's benefits in anyway

2019-02-05 00:22:33 UTC  

No changes to the culture

2019-02-05 00:22:53 UTC  

I’m sure that money went back to the company in some way

2019-02-05 00:23:03 UTC  

You gave no evidence that nintendo did anything to help workers

2019-02-05 00:23:18 UTC  

the only thing the CEO did was take a reduced salary

2019-02-05 00:24:11 UTC  

Therefore what you want so far is for workers to get more money any way possible and for executives to sacrifice for it

2019-02-05 00:24:34 UTC  

Profit is the money earned ABOVE the cost of doing business, including salaries of employees, this excess money is used to expand companies such as adding more products, more services, and updating infrastructure

2019-02-05 00:24:55 UTC  

and also more employees

2019-02-05 00:25:04 UTC  

Its also used to create a buffer for when the company doesnt make profit to allow it to continue to operate

2019-02-05 00:25:18 UTC  
2019-02-05 00:25:19 UTC  

I have no issue with a CEO willingly taking a smaller salary to reinvest more revenue into the employee salaries, if they want to do so. I am against forcing them to.
