I wanna be that CEO that pays their employees 70K a year like that white guy I be seeing all over the Internet. I can’t remember his name.

I’m not gonna be like Jeff Bezos but I do wanna be a multimillionaire 😂😂😂

[jehovahhthickness]

He took a pay cut. I’m not doing all of that. Ima just pay my people well and give top notch benefits.

[jehovahhthickness]

It gets better.

[desperate-acts-of-capitalism]

We are definitely going to talk about this guy on Buisness Desserts

Employees are not costs to be reduced, they are investments, they are assets that appreciate in value

[jehovahhthickness]

Absolutely

[doebunnybooks]

For the person commenting on not taking a pay cut, he HAD to change his lifestyle to be able to afford to pay his employees a living wage. He talked to accountants and they helped him break the numbers down based on data about the cost of living and various factors about the commute, housing issues, etc. All inspired by his best friend going nearly into debt over medical costs meanwhile he had several houses, a jet, and drank champagne daily.

He sold stock, houses, and changed his spending and as a result, his employees were overall happier and the way they worked improved. They all bought more shit and had more kids and did all the consumption people want for us while also enjoying their work and their boss enough to band together and buy him a fucking Tesla as a thank you.

And you know what he realized after taking his pay cut? He didn’t need the champagne or the girls or the “lifestyle” of being a billionaire. He feels fulfilled in his work and with the people he’s surrounded himself with and he feels that he’s made a step in the right direction that other businessmen and billionaires should follow.

Please read the article and his statements on twitter because it’s eye-opening to see that you CAN be successful doing things ethically.

Update: during the pandemic, Dan Price cut his salary to $0 so that he could keep paying his employees.

Anyone who can quote Thomas More is well worth the effort. The Prince has read Utopia? I found it sentimental and dull. I confess, the plight of the everyday rustic bores me. I gather you do not converse with many peasants. Certainly not, no! Naturally. Excuse me, Sire, but there is nothing natural about it. A country’s character is defined by its everyday rustics, as you call them. They are the legs you stand on. That position demands respect, not… Am I to understand that you find me arrogant? Well, you gave one man back his life… but did you even glance at the others? Ever After (1998) dir. Andy Tennant

fuck instagram except for the lesbian couple i follow on there with two kids who got married 10 years ago as a “heterosexual couple” and then one night one of them came out as a lesbian and then the other one came out as a trans woman so they stayed together and now live their best gay life

[queencatradora]

instagram could burn to the ground and this is the only thing i want remaining

[queencatradora]

here is a link to a story they wrote for a parenting magazine about their experience!

‘We both rolled over in bed. Me: ‘I’m gay.’ Her: ‘I’m transgender.’ Silence. Now what? I’m married. HAPPILY married!’: Couple stays together

“We quickly went from a family no one looked twice at walking down the street: a husband and wife with their two sons, to a family everyone

For all you students out there who hate doing citations or have a whole fucking bunch because of a long paper, Zotero is fucking amazing. It will log your citations for you, do your in texts, and make a bibliography, all with a couple of easy to use buttons and a word add-on. It’s free, too. Try Zotero, people, it will change your life.

I forwarded this to Piespouse, mostly, tbqh, because I was amused by how mad people are getting in the notes. But, uh… apparently they didn’t know about it, either? I wish I could describe the furious noises coming from their end of the couch rn
