Snoslinger Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 it's been awhile since the implementation of this big tax cut, designed to increase wages, create more jobs, etc. so where is it? everyone I've talked to is making the same coin, received the same wage increase as previous years. where is the trickle, or did you bozos get taken for a major ride once again? I had one clown here at work come running up to me stating he thinks the company is going to give us big raises, at the time the tax cut was announced. I think i'll ask him to show me where they are.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted July 17, 2018 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted July 17, 2018 (edited) Much of this is scheduled and announced long ago to avoid insider trading suspicion and can be part of stock compensation agreements. I'm sure you already knew this though. What is 'Rule 10b5-1' Rule 10b5-1 is established by the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) to allow insiders of publicly traded corporations to set up a trading plan for selling stocks they own. Rule 10b5-1 allows major holders to sell a predetermined number of shares at a predetermined time. Many corporate executives use 10b5-1 plans to avoid accusations of insider trading.

Zambroski Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Just now, Highmark said: Much of this is scheduled and announced long ago to avoid insider trading suspicion and can be part of stock compensation agreements. CEO and Officer stock options are finite in time. They MUST exersize them at the maturity date. There is no choice. Of course, I'm really not telling YOU this. I'm telling the retards here. But, their ears overlap so... @Sal Rosenberg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite the pressure on employers finding new workers, it has put minimal pressure on increasing wages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also quit focusing on wages and look more at compensation. Yeah I know a company paying more for your healthcare can't buy you a new IPhone but it still has the same cost to them. Over the last 24 months through March, inflation has come in at 1.4 percent a year, and productivity growth at 0.6 percent. Those are very low numbers. And in our supersimple model, you may expect average worker wages to have risen only 2 percent. In fact, the average hourly earnings for nonmanagerial private sector workers rose 2.4 percent a year in that period. You may not feel like cheering about that, but it’s more than we might have expected, with inflation and productivity so weak. The real mystery, then, isn’t why wages are rising so slowly, but why they’re rising so fast. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/26/upshot/the-question-isnt-why-wage-growth-is-so-low-its-why-its-so-high.html https://www.bls.gov/news.release/eci.nr0.htm Compensation costs for private industry workers increased 2.8 percent over the year, a larger increase than the 2.3-percent increase in March 2017. Wages and salaries increased 2.9 percent for the current 12-month period and increased 2.6 percent in March 2017. The cost of benefits rose 2.5 percent for the 12-month period ending in March 2018 and increased 1.9 percent in March 2017. (See tables A, 5, 9, and 12.) Employer costs for health benefits increased 1.5 percent for the 12-month period ending in March 2018. (For further information, see www.bls.gov/web/eci/echealth.pdf.) Among occupational groups, compensation cost increases for private industry workers for the 12-month period ending in March 2018 ranged from 2.6 percent for both management, professional, and related occupations and natural resources, construction, and maintenance occupations to 3.3 percent for production, transportation, and material moving occupations. (See table 5.) Among industry supersectors, compensation cost increases for private industry workers for the 12-month period ending in March 2018 ranged from 2.3 percent for education and health services to 3.3 percent for financial activities.
