Sales are actually down a bit this year but profit went up. Hmmmm....couldn’t have any thing to do with those evil corps bennifitting the most from these cuts. You know, the thing you’ve been shouting from the rooftop since day 1.
Oh but they have changed, they bumped the bonus up from 25% of salary to 30%. And it was stated that this was because of the tax cuts. Also they’re paying out 150 % this year because the company did so well.
Deny all you want, I’ll enjoy the fat check.
Slinger: companies raking in the dough and are getting all the benefits from the new tax laws.
Edmo: And a lot of them are passing that along in the form of bonuses and profit sharing.
Slinger: No. it’s because the economy is good and they want to reward employees. Nothing to do with tax cuts.
?????
Slinger - So you're company doesn’t give bonuses, profit sharing, stocks, options? None of that?
How do they keep people from leaving?
And the fact that company is paying less in taxes has no bearing on their financial performance?
I can’t think of any good reason to give folks money that are “unwilling to work”. The whole thing just sounds rediculous. Incentivizing people not to work sounds like a real recipe for disaster.
There is good and bad in all these places. My first house was in Detroit on the last block before Dearborn. All the cops and firefighters that had to live in the city lived on that street. Anyone that came around looking for trouble got their ass beat by these guys and didn’t come back. I saw it happen several times.
