True story, involving layoffs, from back in the day
Company A, a prominent cut-throat Wall Street firm, acquired Company B. Co A said, in the initial deal, that its intentions were to absorb all 600 of Co B’s employees. Two years later, Co A’s price had fallen by half, so cost-cutting time. Co... — read more

I don’t know about you - but I take comfort in knowing that the person running this bank is the only person who said yes to the job.
He talked our Board in to making him the the highest paid banking CEO in 2020, so that means he is an excellent self- promoter. He makes $24.5 million per year while laying off $20 per hour hard-working employees, so that means he doesn’t let... — read more

Love seeing the strikes
Especially with UAW. Workers gave up so much and have not been given anything in return while their CEOs take in millions. Feels oddly familiar.
