Never A Dull Moment From This Girl

It identifies people like you that want to annihilate western culture.

Pay employees so little they quality for welfare?

So why doesn't the employee leave for better pay?

Where are they going to go? Another employer that pays fresh fish (market price)?

It's a pretty simple concept to anyone who's actually a business owner (instead of one that pretends to be one like yourself!)...wages are determined by supply and demand. Right now we have record unemployment which means that there are more jobs out there than there are people to fill them. It's a situation where employees are in a stronger bargaining position because if they are skilled at what they do...then there are other employers out there that would LOVE to hire them away from their present employer! In order to keep those good employees as an employer I'm forced to give more to retain them. If I don't then I will lose good employees.

Absolutely. As a local truck driver I spend much time in industrial areas. For the last several years, companies in these areas are loaded with HELP WANTED signs. They are actually in competition with each other just in their complex alone.

While I cannot state what they are offering, I can bet my dollar to anybody's dime it's not minimum wage. I would also bet that most of these places offer plenty of opportunity for advancement.

My company is always looking for contractors, because we can't find people with the self-discipline to actually sit down and WORK for their money.

I wrangle two kinds of contractors, and the division is sharp and clear: the people who are forever needing their assignments reassigned because they "decided to take the weekend off" or had sixteen different excuses why they needed extension after extension, and who are getting MAYBE $500 a month from us; and the people who have their stuff in a week early and are pestering me for more assignments, and are getting bigger monthly paychecks than I do.

BULLSHIT! It puts more money in your bosses pocket and he doesn't have to do the work.....YOU DO!

YOU NEED A RAISE!!!!!

The people that decide what they are paid are the people who are paying them. So apparently they are being paid enough because they accepted the jobs.

They can go to trade school for one and learn how to be worth more money. They can join the military and retire in 20 years with full pay. They can take a job with on site training such as construction or truck driving. Most of us had low paying or minimum wage jobs. We didn't expect the employer to overpay us, we went out and did other things instead.

You still are paid a low wage.

Yeah, because he really wants to look like an ignorant asshat to his boss.

Investing in the stock market is not a business. Only the very wealthy can live off of the returns of the market. Most people invest to build up a portfolio for retirement, or working people who make personal investments for immediate financial rewards.

A business is a pizza shop, a beverage store, a machine shop, a convenient store, a sub shop, a de-burring company.

What I'm talking about is brick and mortar stores. Those are the ones that struggle the most.

The business of investing ISN'T a business? How so?

How does an investment broker make his/her monies?

Wow, are you stupid. Just . . . wow.

An investment broker who is investing OTHER people's money for pay is most likely employed by a business, or has gotten a business license to operate. An individual investing his own money is just that, an individual.

Most individuals fail in investing because they don't look at it as the business of investing. FYI, most businesses don't fail.

FYI, there's no number of times you're going to say this that are going to change the stats as reported by the Small Business Administration, whom I trust far more than you. Of course, that's not a high bar to clear, but still.

Most businesses DON'T FAIL. New business failure are high, but how many are shell corporations?

How many of the following 607 active and closures are seen as business failures?

Business Entity Search - Secretary of State, Nevada

Type UBER on the entity line

How about instead of following you down one of your irrelevant and half-assed tangents of "I want to believe this, therefore I will find other people who agree with me and ignore
what I don't like", I just stick to actually reliable and knowledgeable sources?

You don't know, but you'd bet on it? I wouldn't be coming to Vegas.

Sure I would and do you know why? Because some of them are our customers and the shipper tells me what the jobs are, and two, that's what happens in competition. You need to up your offer to attract workers in good times.

We are a small family owned operation. We don't have any CEOs. My employer comes in just like the rest of us and puts in a minimum 9 hour day.

I'm paid a low wage? And you don't even know what I'm paid.

If you believe that, read this; This CEO Took A Pay Cut To Give Employees $70,000 A Year. Now He’s Battling Amazon. | HuffPost

Yeah, he's battling Amazon, but not in company success.

I did some reading (your link and others) about this guy. He created a tech company which usually does very well and with little competition. In any case, he nearly lost everything during the recession by his own admission. Also, as a CEO of a small company (less than 120 employees) he was paying himself up to three times what a CEO normally makes for a company that size before he began this crusade; this according to a Bloomberg report.

Afterwards he became a celebrity. He was on talk shows and even scored a half-mil book deal. He now gets much of his business through that popularity than the service itself. However from what I read, here is what I see the problem as:

If we do go into another recession, I doubt this company will survive unless he does cut employees pay. I see the same problem once the limelight is off for a while and he is just another credit card processing company. A true story about the recession:

At the heart of the recession, my employer almost closed up like many transportation companies did at the time. He didn't confess this to me until much later on long after the recession ended. Anyway, he was able to stay afloat by using rainy day funds he saved for many years; something his competitors didn't do. What his competitors did that he didn't do was spend every last dime on pay increases while times were good, nor did he ever layoff one driver. There were many times at the heart of the recession we just came in and had BS sessions. We had four, five and at times six drivers just sitting outside at a nearby dead end street we go to when there is not much to do.

You can't stay in business very long paying your workers to do nothing, but my employer did. Not only did he never layoff a driver, he kept his promise of an 8 hour pay no if's and's or but's about it. He didn't rescind that policy until things started looking grim. It was my idea he only pay us for the hours we work. He refused to accept my offer, but had no choice later on as the recession kept hold.

What this guy (Dan Price) is doing is the same thing our failed competitors did. He's not building any reserve for bad times. He's a young guy and only experienced one recession in his adult life whereas my employer survived several and learned each time.

So I too learned from that experience. I have a rainy day fund just in case. Sure, my tenants could all use things: new windows, new carpeting, central AC, more parking area, but I'm conservative in what I spend so if times do get bad again, I don't have to worry about selling out and losing a lot of money in the process.

The more I read what 1%er posts here...the more I'm convinced that he's never EVER owned let alone run a business! He's the prototypical low skill worker who resents the fact that his boss makes more than he does...even though HE'S never put in hundreds of hours of work that he didn't get paid for like most business owners do while they're trying to grow a business!

If he does own any businesses (and I doubt he does) he must have inherited them.

Several of my family members own their own businesses, and each one will tell you it was hard work night and day, huge risks, many troublesome times, and many sleepless nights.

If I'm having a bad day at work, once I punch out, my troubles are over until the next day. That's not true of my boss. His troubles take him into the night and into the next day. All I have to worry about is doing my job. I don't have to pay his bills, I don't have to deal with the government, I don't have to worry about unexpected expenses, I don't have to worry about being sued, I don't have to worry about collecting bills. I simply drive.

One-Percneter talks like an outsider looking in, not an insider looking out. That's how I know he's a pure phony, because every other business owner discusses their situation from both sides.
