THIS. Most issues seem to be focused on the abuse of leverage by a privileged few. Many of these get forced into this position, by needing to compete with the ones who freely chose that path.

Samesies!

Facts to the max 💯 Controversial reply here. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Glad to know people like this exist

I quit public school teaching after 25 years. It was not the kids, 1st grade, they were great. The parents had no idea what happens in a classroom. They are better informed ñow after the pandemic, but now multiply that by 20-35. The biggest issues was admin. It was getting to be more testing than teaching and always teaching to the test in April. No more teachable moments. Yes, the money sucked, but I didn't get into teaching for the money. I wanted to make a difference and be absolute sure at least those I had that year WOULD learn to read and could add and subtract. I was also a mother, father, nurse, therapist, babysitter, clothier, hairdresser, janitor...........

Good s**t 👌🏼

Amen i used to run big box retail. Treat people like adults and it all works well

Actions speak louder than words, seeing is believing. Anyone can talk out their a**. Elon Musk is another one, if he ever does this 3 more ghosts are gonna come back to life

People shouldn't be allowed to hoard that much wealth!

You don't get to claim credit for good will donating to your choice of causes when your money comes from exploiting your workers. Do they get lining wages, breaks, health insurance, are they contract workers?....

Yeah, like all these rich pigs that say this, he will donate it to a charity he founds, his own program, where it is highly unregulated and probably 1-3% of it actually goes to anything good. The rest goes to overhead and he can write off almost the whole thing and not pay taxes on his fortune. This isn't altruism in ANY way. He is doing it for tax breaks and for people to think he is human. He isn't.

Yet still builds a rocket shaped like a giant dong and rides it into "space".

I call bullsh*t

Lemme guess, it won't happen while he's still alive

Did he make this proclamation from his mega yacht? The only thing that man wants to better or help is himself.

You know what people with a lot of power and money want? More power and money.

Ok so these headlines are super misleading. Often this means $ goes into their own foundations which gives them.... insane tax breaks

We are still waiting on this - 6/29/2023

I'll believe that when I see it.

Earth is a planet, not a terrarium. The climate has always been changing and always will as long as the Earth exists. Throw all the money you want at the climate and it's n different than throwing it to the wind. It's going to scatter it and keep changing.

'The majority' of his fortune still leaves him with more money than some nations...

Has he done it?

Marketing, this could be.

i dont understand the joke

How about paying your workers better instead of d**k rockets

let's hope

Donate it to something useful - like world hunger, poverty, clean water, food...

I'm sure he considers 'pledge' and 'actually donate' to be synonyms.

Just like Heard’s ‘pledge’?

Oh yes! Lol 🤪

I'd watch this!

Funny! Yet not funny!!!

I respect this notion 100%, very fair deal and very well said. Hopefully this opens up alot of eyes.

This is disgusting, some “bosses” think it’s ok to treat other human beings as slaves. It’s NOT. We’re not machines. I hope they did call a lawyer, f**k that.

Mitch McConnell is one of the worst things that has ever happened to this country.

Nice to see some responsibility going to the top. However, the $49M pay cut being POSSIBLE suggests a secondary issue. How about we eliminate the minimum wage and replace it with a minimum percent? For example, the lowest paid employee (including contractors) can be paid no less than 2% of the highest paid (including wages, bonuses, options, etc.).

2022 Economic Nobel prize winner due to research showing raising min wage does NOT cause prices to go up and people to lose their jobs.

I think mass quitting should become a trend.

I wish I had those kinda balls

I've worked a four day week for years (long days so full-time hours), and the way my days off line up mean I get a 5 day weekend every three weeks. The job is ok, but the time off is GLORIOUS!

WOW good to know ;) I want to sue....... Amazon - just for the heck of it...i 'm sure i can find a reason.

And then they came back the very next day.

BuT nOt LiKe ThAt

Wow…

Ummm no

Medicare for All is such a RADICAL concept that only 32 out of 33 industrialized nations in the world have managed to make it work!

Numbers are not correct. The 8.8b was operating income, not net income. Operating income gross income minus operating costs, but that is not the final net income. In 2022 they pulled in 6 billion in profits or so. Next, they have 41k employees, not 35 k. So the total for a 125k increase would be 5.1B of the 6b in profits. Now 2022 profits were down 6% from 2021, which was down 8% from 2020. But lastly, BNSF is 100% owned subsidiary of Berkshire-Hathaway, and Buffet himself is actually involved in, and considers it one of his pet companies, so talk to Warren Buffet about it

Assuming anyone other than she and the person who ran the test saw the results, this is as open-shut a HIPAA violation as it gets. She will have no shortage of lawyers willing to do this for no money down and a cut of the large judgment.

Fire them all.

"Your job is more important"? Than..........one's family? Riiiiiiiiiight. 🫤

Meanwhile they try everything in their (legal) power to not having to do that or make it as difficult as possible for the employee. My sister was (still is) sick for a long time and went through hell. She got paid, but honestly, she'd better been off just taking her leave. But, then she wouldn't have gotten the help she needed from the government. The law is a good idea, but it needs better execution. One of the biggest problems is that the doctors who decide on your health, are basically paid for by the company you with for, your own practitioner isn't listened to.

That's a "you" problem Elon.

The wealthy definitely live “in their own world.”
