Exactly! A profitable company is one about to hire more people and increase wages to be competitive in a diverse industry fueled by creativity and ingenuity.
Best I can do is pizza party, off the clock.
Don't forget the ping-pong table!
If there are less than 4 ping pong tables then I'm just quitting. That is a totally unacceptable number of ping pong tables. Why do companies think they can get away with not providing any ping pong tables? When I interview, my first question is where are the ping pong tables located? It's a huge red flag not to have any ping pong tables. I mean, what's the point of living if a man cant play ping pong? Dammit this country is going to hell
And no pizza left for night shift
I might need a /s here, cuz I can’t tell.
If not: The most profitable companies are those that either: are monopolies (of the consumer and/or labor side), operate as banks, or operate as limited-liability speculative arms of banks.
No ingenuity required, only “I have money on hand, so I win”.
The most profitable companies also do the utmost to treat employees as contractors and avoid paying employer taxes, social security and health insurance.
Uber is just waiting for self driving cars and will fire all their contractors the day it happens. Amazon will fire all their delivery guys once drones work as intended.
Which of those is Apple? Is it really a monopoly?
Oligopoly. We are witnessing how useless the offices for competition have been for decades. And they punish borrowers with higher interest rates.
