Jack was a founder and CEO for years. he cashed out bigly from the sale. e: quote:As part of Musk’s acquisition of Twitter, Dorsey received a $978 million golden parachute.

Complications posted:Counter argument - slash the jobs, keep your price the same, use the increased profit margin to take out loans, buy up your competitors until there are only a handful of companies around who did the same thing, then everybody raises prices by 300% while lamenting increased costs due to insert crisis here in press releases and celebrating massive profits in shareholder conferences. "as long as there is competition" If there is no competition you are able to command rentseeking prices at which point your incentive to invest in automation exists only if expected labour cost savings > expected automation costs. Your selling price becomes completely decoupled from your production costs and instead becomes coupled to the costs of a substition product or the costs of entry of a new player in the market to become your competition. If no substitution product exists and costs to entry are sufficiently high, I guess your price becomes capped by the likelihood of inducing government antitrust or otherwise regulatory action, or inducing revolution.

Soon we will all be gig economy workers. Driving around aimlessly delivering food and providing rides to each other in a never-ending cycle.

3 months into my 12 month SAVING ADVENTURE. going well. eating apples, oats, barley, some salt. but saving HUGE MONEY. in 9 months i'll smuggle it all out of country and dump it in some foreign market. i'll of course do my due diligence and pick somewhere to cause the most harm to the US. but that's still a ways out so i'm not sweating it.

Idk why every loving retail job decided that we weren't allowed to accept tips but that poo poo was infuriating. When I was working at fedex office sometimes people would want to tip me because I am creative and i'd sometimes be able to figure out ways to make their project work in a better way than the customer initially would request and so they'd offer to tip me and I always hated the - look around, check im not under a camera - oh gently caress my manager's looking "no im so sorry I can't take a tip" I did get slipped concert tickets and stuff a few times because I made really nice flyers.

And the median / average worker income numbers that we track, which were around $54K/yr last I checked, only count full time employees. If you lump in gig workers and people working part time for reasons other than choice, that median worker income drops to ~$29k.

JAY ZERO SUM GAME posted:i made $20/hr in my work study job sitting at the reference collection desk in college. i worked at a chemistry lab for several years at community college in 2005-7 and i think i made about $8.75 @ 20-40 hrs a week which was good weed and tuition money at the time, plus i got to steal a bunch of chemicals. i later worked at a political science department at uc davis and i think i made around $11-12-hr just fixing IT and updating the website while doing absolutely nothing. went back running the entire chemistry lab as an STNC for $15/hr after i graduated in 2011 'cuz i couldn't get a job anywhere else.

every single month hacker news has a "who is hiring?" thread where people comment with open roles. some big companies and lots of startups, many being funded by yc. comments generally peak within a week or so with sporadic ones after that here are the total comments over the last 43 months going back to january of 2020

FlapYoJacks posted:$8.75 is now $13.95/hr. What was the community college? It would be interesting to check tuition/income ratio from then vs today. santa rosa junior college. california subsidizes CCs a lot so they haven't gotten that big. iirc i was paying $20/unit back in 2007-ish and per unit is $46 now. to clarify, $8.75 was my payscale when i left around 2009, i think it varied between $7.9 - $8.75 the 3-4 years i worked there Xaris has issued a correction as of 20:16 on Jul 6, 2023 |

JAY ZERO SUM GAME posted:i dunno, i remember thinking "man that's a lot of money," but it was also considered financial aid, you know. i imagine it's about distributing money to people in an equitable way while not burdening them with so much work they can't do other things, so you get a fat wage to make sure you get your money hah I wish it was like that for me, my job was fixing other student's computers, at a real company it'd be at least $40/hr. during busy times I might be working on 4 computers at once. it was really fulfilling tbh, sometimes I'd fix someone's computer and they'd thank me in the halls later that week. I shoulda made way more than $9/hr though
