Companies will time layoffs to get a better profit in the next couple months to report better quarterly or yearly earnings reports. How those earnings reports turn out directly affects the stock market performance, which in turn makes the shareholders significantly more money.
This is most effective if somebody’s trying to pump the stock value before jumping ship in the most egregious cases.
We have to clarify every time something is American? People don’t even realize because, well, it’s so normal to an American. It’s not like it’s done spitefully.
The true way to get the unpopular opinions
Absolutely. It’s so lively there and with all the people around at all times of the night, I never felt unsafe. Just people out having a good time
Incredible story from incredible athletes. It’s a feat to do that and, would you look at that, it doesn’t diminish anyone else’s goals or aspirations either.
Same experience with my printer! Gave me some motivation to finish off some of the projects I’ve disregarded since there’s some new shiny light to it. The printer has been going non-stop (while it’s not needing to be maintained) and I’ve made enclosures, costumes, frames, and molds that got me back into programming, crafting, painting, and masonry. Glad to have such split attention sometimes, lol.
Bookmarked in case of deep inspiration, thank you!
Goddammit, now I need to change my fkn VPN, too
Fucking, sick
Jesus, it’s so inconsistent. I suppose that may be beneficial when looking at all of your folders at a bird’s eye view but my knee jerk reaction isn’t the most positive.
They could’ve stopped at step 3 but they gave you 8 more steps to feel like a true hacker.
Built in sobriety test, how nice!
08 Toyota FJ so we likely had the same sequence ✊
Hell yeah, I’ve been making G&Ts for my quick mixer over the past few years - it’s so good. That Earl Grey cocktail sounds absolutely divine for the last bit of warm weather we have here, thank you!
You joke but my old FJ Cruiser requires you to turn the key to accessory, turn it off, turn the key back to accessory, open and close the door three times, turn the key back off, turn the key to accessory while holding the odometer reset button for 5 seconds and then it will enter pairing mode for the remote fob.
It made me feel the same joy as pressing the option on my Android phone 5 times to enter development mode back in the mid 2010s but it gets old quick.
Yes! Your knowledge will last and it’s insane how many hobbies have coinciding skills. Keeping it fresh allows me to stay motivated and as long as I’m doing something, I couldn’t care less if it’s painting or soldering or whateverthefuckelse at that moment :D
What’s been your favorite cocktail as of recently to have on a normal night?
How was that a decision not fueled by pure desperation? Who advised this beyond the consulting group that was previously working with Morgan Stanley? Oh my god
Good points!
The timing is quite important. Other things to consider are tax periods, bonuses, and nature of the markets. That can all be racked up as cost of doing business if the long-term benefits outweigh the long-term costs.
Especially if they are having a bad year or quarter, performing layoffs can show promise of a better next quarter since severance is basically a fixed cost to the number of employees you have.
There isn’t necessarily one size fits all but the bottom line is dropping employees saves money as human resources are always one of the largest costs of operating.
