/pol/ would call him a socialist in picrel.
>>516436350>The salary move also triggered a backlash, including from Rush Limbaugh and from some Gravity Payments clients who accused Price of communist or socialist motives. Two Gravity Payments employees resigned in protest.kekwho were the fags who resigned over this?
>>516436350The caveat here is that he did this willingly and it wasn't the government stealing 90% of his salary so Joe Schmoe can get free shit for doing less.
>>516436350Are his employees re-investing in the company they work for?If not, the company might not survive in the market and they loose their jobs.
>"his current estimated net worth is $12 million."A real, fucking hero.
>>516436350His salary drop paid for like 14 employees. Big fuckin deal
>>516436350You pay your workers what their work is worth in the market.If you pay them more the company will not be flourish.Then there would be no jobs at all.
>>516436896>doesn't know what net worth means
>>516436687Yeah I have no problem with leftists putting their own money where their mouth is, trouble is it happens so rarely because as everyone knows, socialism seems great until you run out of other people's money.\We have literal proof of the other people's money factor now that massive USAID grift, makework programs for friends of democrats, and democrat run party while you "work" offices got exposed by DOGE.Wake me up when Bezos does it, who owns the leftist rag Washington Post, and constantly pushes DEI shows on Amazon.
>>516437048>German stuck in 1800 economicsMany such cases. Housing prices are raising even though the market is oversaturated.The labor prices are dropping and wages stagnating even though there is a labor shortage. Explain why. Then rack your brain over why quiet quitting is a problem. Might be too hard for you though
>>516436604the guys who were making around $70k and are furious they didn't get anything "GRR WHY DID THAT GUY I DON'T LIKE THAT SUCKS GET A RAISE AND I DIDN'T???" nothing makes an employee more pissed off than knowing they're making as much/barely more than someone they believe themselves to be superior to
>>516436350its all performative bullshit.all the positions that would benefit from a "70K base salary" are all staffed by 3rd party services that would normally be internal positions.
>>516436350>overpay employees>can't hire more employees>productivity unable to grow and gradually declines. >Profit stagnates>growth stagnates>competitors grow faster, take market share, >company goes bankrupt.>Now everyone is out of a job.
>>516437048>>516437026>>516437349These shills are malfunctioning. The one million would have contributed to his >>516437204 12 million net worth after being taxed. Not invested in the company.
>>516437204>>doesnt know what net worth means Neither do leftists.
>>516436687Also, you better believe that anyone pulling in less than at least double that number would be fired straight away.
>>516437048Only faggot publicly traded wall street jews think like that. If he can pay the companies expenses and still profit he will be fine. Hoarding all the profits while minimizing every cost is only good for the (((shareholders))) and is why everything sucks. Its all rent seeking middle man schemes
>>516437048>>516437026>>516437349The shills are malfunctioning. The one million would have contributed to his >>516437204 net worth (after being taxed for Indian welcome centers, of course). Not invested in the company.
>>516436350>raise min wage>stores raise their prices>rinse and repeatIt's not an ideal solution. That said, good on him for walking the walk. Lot of rich CEOs like to preach about how virtuous they are, then fuck their employees anyway

>>516436350Niggers
>>516436350>Two Gravity Payments employees resigned in protest.It's a payment processor, so kikes with stock probably.
>>516436350This company is bankrupt he couldn't keep staff
>>516437299I could see it. If he's a white guy breaking his ass for $70k and then he sees the CEO take a massive pay cut in order to give the sleepy sheboon secretary a raise and nothing to him. Personally I don't think I would resign, I'd just start being as sleepy and useless as the sheboon
>>516437299>>516437879The phrase is > at least
>>516437649>>516437673That was predictable. Probably also suffered a sudden lack of funding.
>>516436350>What’s wrong with increasing the minimum wage so that it is survivable?It's communism.
>>516436350>Socialism is when you get paid a bit moreImagine being this stupid.
>>516438122If you are taking away money from those creating jobs and giving it to workers (aka wealth redistribution) then yes that is literally socialism and it is evil.
>>516436350it's socialism anon. that's, le bad, unless trump does it.
>>516436350>Personal sacrifice is now defined as "socialist">The same behavior, but Government-enforced-at-the-point-of-a-bayonet ISN'T socialist... >However, I will tell you they are the same thing objectively, morally and ethically>If you disagree, I will label you a NaziEat shit.
>>516437048Republicans can never seem to tell the difference between socialism and capitalism. That nigger gets paid to talk and the venue he talks out is paid indirection by the tax-payer. That is socialism whether you like it or not. Then this old nigger gets social security payments every month for being an old nigger. That's also socialism. Do you think he sends the checks back or refuses to speak in a government building funded by the taxpayers? Obviously not, therefore he is a beneficiary of socialism.
>>516437048What someone's work is worth depends on the number of people in the market who are able to do it.But since companies can just endlessly import immigrants, everyone is replaceable and your work can never be worth more than minimum wage. And if there was no minimum wage, we'd be getting brazil-tier salaries.This is why worker protection laws are necessary.
>>516438337>This is why worker protection laws are necessary.
>>516436837>>516437048>If you pay them more the company will not be flourish.LOL imagine not understanding that treating your workers well can be a tremendous competitive advantage.your bullshit reminds me of all the supposed free-market MAGA trash were screeching "communist! socialist" after the CEO of Costco went on Rush Limbaugh talking about how they treat their workers is a competitive advantage. The dude from Costco wasn't advocating for the government raising the minimum wage, in fact the lower the minimum wage, the greater the competitive advantage Costco has in paying their workers at least a living wage. what Costco is doing is the best that capitalism can be. And it's not like it's amazing for Costco workers, it's just that Costco's competitors have set the bar so incredibly low when it comes to worker compensation & treatment that it's easy for them to hire & retain the best of even the most common unskilled labor.Compare with, say Wal-Mart, who treats their workers so shitty and pays them so poorly that the workers need government welfare (there's your socialism) to supplement their income in order to survive. And of course if you try to tax the Wal-Mart billionaires to compensate for the amount we the taxpayers must pay to subsidize their shitty wages, then of course they screech "socialism!"so, in short, fuck off with that shit."The only competitive advantage an enterprise has is the quality of the people it can hire and retain." - W. Edwards Deming
>>516438122Paying everyone regardless of their contributions the same hardly is capitalism nor sound.
>>516438181Socialism is when workers have control over the means of production. Simply paying workers more isn't socialism.Imagine being this stupid.
>>516438416>Trumptards have fallen so far they're defending jeet importation
>>516438567It is still capitalism because the CEO made that decision on his own. At most you could say he was inspired by socialist ideals
>>516438416Imagine the media screeching if one would unleash free markets in healthcare and politics.It's all fake, just shills protecting interests.
>>516438567He did not do that. Trouble with reading? I bet your country has a socialist scheme to help you.
>>516436350>SurvivableThe economy doesn't care about survivable wages, wages are merely the way of you making a deal with someone of not working for less than X amount. It's a deal. The deals were good until the 70s until mass woman and migrants joined the workforce, and they lowered the wages for everyone so CEOs got rich af because women and migrants cannot negotiate properly and will put up with lower wages psichologically.It's the fault of the employes it got to this point where CEOs are making billions, it shouldn't have been this bad but retards will put up with this.
>>516438738>he was inspired by socialist idealsSo you're calling it "socialist" to avoid labelling it "socialism". Granted tho, it creates an incentive for the less valuable workers to stay at the company which really isn't socialist in the least - since instead of valuing everyone equally systematically, it reminds them that nobody else will pay the cleaning lady 70k.
>>516438416Yeah bro let's go back to sweatshops in our countryIf you want to do away with worker protection laws then do away with corporate protection laws too; watch the entirety of our industry wither away when they have to compete with cars and electronics unfettered by tariffs.
>>516438881Which part of "all of his employees" is too much to comprehend for you, retard?
>>516438582The practical examples, however, quickly became a horde of bureaucrats violently enforcing a totalitarian system, with an elite on top that caused major catastrophes, genocides and wars. Seems these ideologifes all overlook something important.
>>516439147We're at peak capitalism right now and the world has never been less stable.
>>516439479Yes yes, I included the current systems. One of the factors is the leverage of technology. But I bet there are more. Could even be genetic issues.>>516439102> at leastSo one employee got more than 70k, maybe even more than one.
>>516439015>So you're calling it "socialist" to avoid labelling it "socialism".No, I am not. Socialism is defined by public ownership of capital. By definition, a CEO deciding on his own to pay his workers more cannot be socialism. >it creates an incentive for the less valuable workers to stay at the companyI'm not arguing against that. I don't think this is a good idea whatsoever, but calling it socialist is factually wrong. It's simply mismanagement.
>>516436350Job threads are always slide threads because of how polarizing it is. Half wants to NEET while the other wants to work 30 hours of OT for some fucking reason. Myself I believe we should work, but only up to 30 hours a week
>>516436350All companies should be legally obligated to do thisFuck the shareholders, pay your employees first nigger
>>516436350This was in 2009 or something. Then he had a bunch of scandals he got caught up in.
>>516436350Oh this guy. If i remember right, he did that for reasons i can't recall, and during COVID, when the company was doing really bad, his employees took a paycut/no pay to keep the company afloat.Nowadays they're supposed to be doing really well, as far as i know.
>>516439827>maybe even more than one.Everyone who gets the average US wage minus the top 12% or so got their wage practically doubled.
>>516436350Money wouldn't be such a big issue if the government didn't tax it's people into oblivion and then give it away to their favorite countries, politicians, and corporations.
>>516439932>>516436350It's pretty much for taxes. Use his shares for his money without being taxed 40% right off.
>>516436350it's a tiny payment processor and 'merhant cash advances' provider. it's employs 240 people in seattle. it's probably a communist money launderer guy looks like he's made of plastic.
>>516436350It's fine if a single company does it, but if everyone does is prices rise because companies know they can squeeze a little bit more out of people and not lose any volume of sales.
>>516440204
>>516436350Accountants ruined the world. Those faggots can only think in terms of cutting costs. Biggest dipshits on planet earth that get praised for being "smart".
>>516436350Unironically true White behavior. Shitskins, bugs, kikes, and niggers are the worst at exploiting their workers.
>>516439849>Socialism is defined by public ownership of capital.I suppose that's one way to define it, but in the face of everyone else, including yourself ("socialist ideals") seeing how this redistribution of wealth has no other basis - well, I think the shoe kinda fits.Essentially, socialism is intermediary communism via redistribution, creating all the shit a healthy society should reject: from dysgenic fertility to paying the unproductive, which, one some level, the guy surely does advocate for with his decision. Semantically, you're not wrong to insist on the narrow definition, but my ESL brain thinks it's fine to call something promoting socialist values "socialism" derogatively.
>>516436350Dan Price is a really great guy if you ignore all of his arrests for assault and rape.
>>516439102Give him some slack. He’s Bulgarian, it’s amazing he got this far
>>516440969>>516437673Suddenly arrested for "rape" after far right zionist jews and co. bitched and moaned about him significantly raising workers wagesYea no fuck off, this "rape" charge was fake jewish entrapment hoax.Jews (women and men(usually gay relations) love to do this:Self-induce themselves into falling asleep via drugs (jews have drugs) or pretend to fall asleep while they are having sex with a non jewish person, then cry rape. Then on to the next victim they want to get arrested and repeat. No seriously. So, recognize jews, and do not have sexual relations with jews, not just because of this but for many other very good reasons as well.Also I'm not saying this is what happened here, with this Dan Price guy. But whatever happened with him it was definitely jewish fraud and he's innocent.
