Record profits, tax breaks, subsidies, government loans, etc. Yet these companies can't find a way to make jobs.
They’re just hoarding cash for stock buybacks.
“Everything these companies are doing at the moment is to pump up their stock price, they don’t care about anything else.”Bingo. I work for a major corporation and they have done everything they can to cut employee wages and cost. Laid off well over 5k people last year. But had money for a stock buyback, 2 acquisitions of other companies, and record profits. Yet management has the nerve to tell us in meetings the company isn’t making enough money to justify higher pay.
Everything these companies are doing at the moment is to pump up their stock price, they don’t care about anything else. The question is when will this be no longer viable and things come crashing down.
Corporate retard: We need a consultant.I went to target on a Saturday the line wrapped all around the store, no cashiers just the self scan line . Put all my **** in a corner and walked out in not rewarding this ****. Honestly reminded me of the days after Kmart declared bankruptcy. I guess the McKinsey boys are just telling everyone to run everything to **** to squeeze every penny out of their businesses.It’s like having a steady supply of beans rice and meat. Keeps you satisfied and some rich guy tells you to eat your leg so you can be really full. Retail experience is trash now

So become McKinsey and STFU...problem solved...LowIQTrash » 03 Aug 2024, 1:22 pm » wrote: ↑ Corporate retard: We need a consultant.
McKinsey: Here we are.
Corporate retard: Tell us how to improve profitability.
McKinsey: Oh that’s simple. Raise prices for your goods (don’t worry about demand destruction, all your competitors are doing it), slash your labor force, automate some more, and make the remaining employees take on the responsibilities of those laid off.
Corporate retard: WOW, you’re such a genius!
McKinsey: I know. That’ll be $1,100/hr x 10 hours of work time + $2,000 travel/lodging expenses = $13,000. All for 1 day’s worth of work.

Nope, haven’t watched TV in months. I will check it out when I have time.*Vegas » 03 Aug 2024, 1:27 pm » wrote: ↑ Have you watched the TV series "Billions?" It's on Amazon prime. It's a drama series about this kind of stuff. Not necessarily about corporations per se, but how the stocks are manipulated with all sorts of tricks. I think you would like it. I am on season 2, episode 5.
Sounds like everyday operations as it's been done for decades. These employees are free to give the boss a pink slip and fire his *** and find a better job that suits them.LowIQTrash » 03 Aug 2024, 1:10 pm » wrote: ↑ From a subreddit dedicated to employees:

You dont hire more employees unless you sell more products.
And that goes to the people having money.
And these companies just keeo raising prices and driving up profits and screwing the American people.
And Trump says it's ok to do that.
Trump really only cares if billionaires make more money.
It's as simple as that.
Just to provide some historical context, there was a time not long ago when in order to get articles of incorporation, you had to show a public benefit. The very IDEA of an artificial entity existing as a golem only to enrich investors was anathema to conservative thought.Fuelman » 03 Aug 2024, 3:16 pm » wrote: ↑ Sounds like everyday operations as it's been done for decades.

You won't hear me complaining about stocks melting up, sounds like those running these corporations are doing their job for their investors.

Some will take advantage of the opportunity, others won't.
I can still have some sympathy for the wage slavers, been there done that, it's how you play the game along the way. I have fired every employer I've ever worked for. The American dream lives on if you aren't a victim.

Buying 6-12 month puts at 5400 = PROFIT (AFTER ACCOUNTING FOR THE THETA / DECAY ON PUTS)
BOOM, LOOKS LIKE MY THEORETICAL TRADE WOULD'VE BEEN A SMALL SUCCESS
I said a couple days ago I did NOT think VIX would hit my theoretical 40 target. Yet today, it just might! (or get very close like 37)
BUT THE BIG DECLINE IS NOT HERE YET, WE WILL GO PARABOLIC first! (LIKELY WITHIN 2 WEEKS, I WILL START ACCUMULATING CALLS AT THE BOTTOM TOMORROW)
Buying opportunity of this year! Miners should 2x in about 5 months.
