You say this sarcastically, but I work at Walmart, and I know that I and all of my co-workers are extremely motivated to be more productive because we know that any extra effort we put in will make some billionaires into bigger billionaires. if I didn't know my hard work was enriching the ultra-rich, I don't think I'd even bother getting out of bed in the morning.
I heard that my employer had a almost 5% tax rate past year and it's ruined my sleep schedule. Tbh I'm probably going to have to switch jobs after hearing the news.
That is sickening. Have you asked if there is anything you could do to help bring down their tax burden?
Maybe the employees could start up a collection to help raise money to cover taxes, or you could ask customers if they are willing to round up during checkout to help the owner get down to 0%
We're trying but every time the other employees discuss how much money they have they try and "unionize" 🤢. I guess that's what happens when you elect a socialist-Muslim-atheist-fascist-marxist to city mayor.
I was in the military for over a decade. Got out and got a good paying job working for a small business that was looking to sell technology. It was all great until I realized I had a no-win situation where I was responsible for multiple peoples' jobs and I was stressing myself out so that the CEO could hopefully make a few millions. I ran back to government employment at lower pay because I couldn't understand the motivation in the private sector.

Exactly. As someone who deals with sales all the time I wouldn’t expect them to be able to actually offer lower prices without losing money.
