Ten Companies Paying Americans the Least

[rudeguy]

As much as we can eat unless you like it cold for breakfast in which case get some extra.

why can't you liberal hippies ever answer those questions?

You are quick to be outraged about how much someone makes but you can't ever say how much someone should make.

Was it too much acid in the 70's or too much Koolaid in the 2010's?

 

[Fanatical Meat]

I don't see a problem letting the market decide, though.

if the stores don't see a benefit from the extra hours, then the following years that can close up and save money.

I hate the idea of these store being open but its an example of vote for the correct leaders. This is an easy fix for the State, either make them exclusive holidays that pay tripple or double time, nobody is required to work less than 4 hours and there is an 8 hour cap. The other option is to pass a law that simply does not allow it.

Corporations exist to make money for their shareholders. They pay their CEO's so much because they tend to work for someone else if you pay them too little.

 

[Hugo Drax]

Adding a car elevator is creating wealth in the market. Once you make a pizza and someone eats it, the wealth is gone. That's just a transfer of wealth.

Not really. When the pizza comes out of your anus. That means toilet paper is consumed, which is a partial wealth transfer to the paper industry. The moving your turd from point a. Your anus to point b. the water sewage processing plant is another form of wealth transfer.

More engineers to help maximize the sewage cleanup etc..

 

[Zaap]

^ yeah but shouldn't we be moving away from a turd-based economy?

Who pays the most? Let's provide that information so that people can apply for those jobs instead of at Walmart.

 

[Thebobo]

. Yum! Brands ???? lol never heard of them

 

[Ken g6]

4. Kroger

ORLY? All the Kroger stores around here (where they're called "King Soopers") are unionized.

 

[werepossum]

breaking news: jobs that require no skill and that you can train anyone off the street to do semi-competently in an afternoon don't pay well.

many of these jobs I'd imagine are also temporary stepping stones along a career (eg: part-time jobs during high school/college)

LOL This. The secret to a successful society is probably not better pay for unmotivated and unskilled people in undemanding jobs.

 

[OverVolt]

No Kelly services?

 

[Agent11]

. Yum! Brands ???? lol never heard of them

Yum is KFC, taco bell, wingstreet, and pizzahut.

Never seen a wingstreet personally, although I worked at a taco bell years ago.

You're accusing me of something that isn't true for one thing. I don't believe in limiting what anyone can make.

I just think the policies of corporations should be in the interest of the owners and the law that creates corporations is a way to enforce that.

And since tax policy is also economic policy we should understand the ramifications of policies instead of accepting simplistic platitudes that obscure true motives.

 

[Tom]

Spending $X on car elevators produces the same amount of economic activity of spending $X on pizzas.

Are you really trying to claim $X != $X?



Seems like we would end up with a bunch of fat people/

Its true. How a dollar is spent affects the economic activity generated.

 

[Zaap]

Who pays the most? Let's provide that information so that people can...

Bitch about 80k+ salaries being poverty wages and whine at the CEOs of those companies too. (IE: see the union thread about Boeing.)

One notices after a while that with the class-envy types, none of this is really about giving a flying shit about what any other common slob makes for a living.

If the very *same* people the class-envy types are pretending to cry their eyes out over low wages become millionaires tomorrow (earn it, win the lottery, inherit it, get lucky, invent the better mousetrap, whatever...) they'll be demonized and shit on as evil, rich, greedy people that deserve to have all their money taken and given to someone else. There's always someone else that's more deserving than the actual someone who has anything. Because really, that someone else is the class-envy nitwit themselves.

All any of it is really about is being unable to cope with someone else having more than they do, because no one else really deserves it like they do.

It's the extreme of that feeling people get when they find out their neighbor just won the $500 million dollar jackpot lottery. Just yesterday when he was a poor slob struggling to get by just like you, he was the salt of the earth, great guy. But NOW?! 500 million clams?? WTF??!! Why does THAT prick deserve that? Heck, he could afford to give you a cool $10mil or so and he wouldn't even miss it, but does he?!! Hell no! Greedy fucker! Evil prick! Hate that guy! If only there were some way to elect someone to take that greedy prick down a few pegs...

That's basically how class-envy nitwits see EVERYONE else with more money than them, and that's what motivates them, not giving a flying F what anyone's wages are. They want to get even with that prick that doesn't deserve to be rich... according to them.

When class envy pricks actually run things and get their way- you get third world shit holes.

 

[WhipperSnapper]

Hmmm, and how much experience, education, or training do you need to work at the companies above? Yep, zilch. If you start at the bottom of the ladder, you can't expect to get paid like someone with a PHD......

You'd probably be shocked to know how many PhD's are working at starbucks. <g>

 

[shady28]

What is sadder than the article is the Rich Republican P&N posters that support these Executives and Corporations.

Know what?

While I don't think those CEOs are really worth that pay, it isn't like some of the really wacky incomes I've seen in other areas. You're barking up the wrong trees.

Why aren't you whining about these people, who have far, far less responsibility and yet make far more?

These are the same people that bitch about CEO compensation, and yet look at them. What a bunch of hypocritical, lying, deceptive bitches these are.

If you want to find the right tree, look at the financial industry. People with 10,000 employees making $200 mil/yr. That's your travesty, not some guy with 200,000 employees and 4000 stores making 20 mil/yr.

Does anyone think that any of these people have a real-world perspective on anything??? And yet many get their opinions from their satire (Republicans too) :

Those are poor examples, they are all key to the success of their programs.

Ceos on the other hand are a bit like a club. They hire each other; and they can manipulate their own salaries sometimes, so they are getting more than they should. Sometimes they just inherit their jobs, its not always based on merit.

And we citizens don't have to accept it. Corporations only exist because of the law, and the law belongs to all of us, not people who own or run corporations.

You have a twisted viewpoint. If you want to have a say about a particular CEO's pay I suggest you invest in the company. Otherwise why the fuck should they care what you think?

For example, you contribute nothing to my landscaping. Why are you so concerned with what I pay my groundskeepers and landscape architect? And why should I listen to you?

 

[ch33zw1z]

I'm not at all surprised by this. The only one that kind makes me ? is Macy's, considering the atmosphere they want to portray, you may want to pay your employees enough to afford the clothes.

 

[HeXen]

Companies exist only to make investors money. That is all.

What are you talking about ? I don't care about any particular ceo's pay.

I am talking about the law, which belongs to all of us, and if the law that creates corporations out of thin air, represents the best policies. We have the right to change the law if it doesn't.

Btw, the law also is what lets you own property and hire landscapers.

And you think they can scrape anyone off the sidewalk and plant them in the CEO chair and it would be a success.

McDonald’s encourages employees to enroll in food stamps and welfare programs.

This is the real problem. We subsidize these corporations by making it possible for people to live on such terrible pay. Remove all welfare and food stamps for employed and the problem will solve itself, eventually.

Record Profits

$500mil tax break

Stock at highs

They cut the pensions why?

They eliminate all their human capital and experience for what? Save a few dollars in the short term and shoot themselves in the foot for the long term? Okay. Sounds like a good plan.

I honestly think corporations feel the same way that some people do. That we're probably headed off an economic cliff. Thats the only way I can rationalize the corporations gutting their human capital for short term gains, hoarding cash, and slashing R&D. All the corporations. They are essentially cashing out. And you are a sucker

Thats how things worked maybe 10 years ago.

Would you go back in time and tell Henry Ford to nix the higher wages? He managed to out compete hundreds of auto companies in the heyday of auto manufacturing. Maybe its because he had the best and most loyal employees who said they liked Ford? You think those modern day employees are going to tell their family to fly Boeing? Actions have consequences is all. And the corporations as far as I can tell are cashing out and running meanwhile shooting themselves in the foot, multiple times for good measure.

 

[OverVolt]

I could do my best impersonation. Screw over all the worker things, do it now. Move the factory somewhere cheaper unless we get a tax break or we take away all the jobs.

Am I doing it right?
