Net promoter score. Basically the survey question where they ask how likely you are to recommend a company or product.

They ended the COVID hazard pay ($2/hr), but increased starting pay by $1/hr and made adjustments across the board

Was that in the US? Costco Canada made covid pay permanent.

What is nps.

You set the CEOs max pay as a percentage of the average workers salary, with the percentage on a sliding scale where CEOs of companies with more employees get a larger percentage. Cut employees, cut max CEO salary. Set max bonus’s as a percentage of gross company profit. No more bonus for CEOs when the company posts a loss.

Maybe more run of the mill employees having board seats and being compensated in stock along with cash would improve earnings disparity. CEOs would be less inclined to lay people off to protect the bottom line. Worker/shareholders have more incentive to increase profits, lower costs and to make sure they don’t lay people off.

So many! Octavia Butlers Patternist series was amazing. Also loved A Memory Called Empire and Ancillary Justice

This diagram displays my portion of the expenses. For example, our total WiFi cost for 2023 was ~$640 and my share was ~$320

My thought process: I wanted to color by genre, but I needed to group them into categories to reduce the number of colors. Prob not obvious, but the warm colors are fiction and cool colors are nonfiction. I pulled out the subgenres I read the most of and lumped the rest into broad buckets.

Oh, "policy" is the solution? Big surprise that an article full of sample bias and partial information wants to introduce government intervention as the solution.

Most CEOs are paid in cash as well, but the majority is in stock, which is taxed at a lower rate than if they were to receive their higher compensation in cash.

And was conveniently built on top of fill dirt, thus nullifying the argument that something more useful could be put there.

Just to put in perspective: 400 times is around 33 years, let's say you work since 18 years old, so it's up to 51 years. So a CEO in ONE MONTH makes as most of your entire productive life.

If somebody wants to start revolution. Count me in.

Falls why can't you edit that shit

You guys literally believe anything you read on the internet don't you

Some questions I did not see answered in the article:

1 Does the average "typical worker pay" include the global workforce?
I imagine all of these companies in the study operate in developing countries and would therefore lower the average worker comp.

2 What is the domestic company payroll budget now vs then? How many employees are on payroll?
The feminist movement has greatly increased the workforce (for better or worse). If company output hasn't matched this offset, overall pay has to go down. This is actually a major driver of household inequality. If 2 jobs now are economically equivalent to 1 to 1.5 in 1978, how can a single-earner or single parent household even dream of keeping up?

It is absurd, but the point of the whole PhD is to produce a document, so I tried to remember that in some ways, that was the most important thing. I did computer science.

Are some of these expenses split with your partner, or are they the full cost for the year?

You include all compensation including stock options and bonuses

Blame the boards that give bonuses based on things like cutting costs with no restrictions on it.

I can't fathom how writing would take longer than research. As a chemist, that seems absurd. What did you study?

Better give them more because they are irreplaceable geniuses!

Not productive when crying? I’ll have you know some of my best work was done was ugly crying at my computer!!

Love all this though.
