I wish the labor laws were that simple but the option of a company to avoid workers banding together to unionize and use union collective bargaining is limited by decades of up and down legal battles.
If I have employees that seek such representation there is a set of ground rules, long established, as to how I may oppose such efforts.
My point is, if the employer doesn’t exist, there can be and aren’t employees or employee rights
And a cup of coffee is $50.00
The only times I drink Starbucks is when it’s free. I have a Honda dealership that has it free for customers and employees. They have a sign on the machine stating “Perks For Work.” It’s not the closest dealership to me but they send great coupons for oil changes. The dealership near me doesn’t.
Unfortunately a great shopping “discovery” for me involves Starbucks. I use a Keurig with two pods in a big mug. I found that Starbucks Tiramisù pods are the best mixers with a wide variety of cheap pod coffee. It’s a good cup on it’s own but not my most favorite. But my most favorites don’t mix well with others for flavor. The Starbucks Tiramisù can turn an off brand pod into a fair cup of coffee.
You have me thinking about the song “Street Fighting Man” by
The Rolling Stones
“Hey, said my name is called disturbance
I’ll shout and scream
I’ll kill the king, I’ll rail at all his servants”
How can one rail ( to revile or scold in harsh, insolent, or abusive language ) at servants if the king is dead? A dead king doesn’t have any servants.
The place has to be remodeled first. That will take forty years.
I’ve become a Dunkin Donuts fan in the last year. Haven’t gone to Starbucks much for probably 20 years now. Latte and a sourdough breakfast sandwich (eggs/bacon) for me. We don’t have Timmy Ho’s.
TDS is real.
“TDS is real.”
Yes, I would not have believed how real it is unless I had seen it with my own eyes. This woman was INSANE with it and all for no reason at all.
Relative went to Ithaca College. Beautiful petite woman. She returned few years later has full sleeve tattoo with snake. And she’s in HR!! Kept trying to cover the ugly thing up with a shawl at family funeral.
A proposal to end “at-will” employment prompts new city working group
In large corporations, this has been found to be illegal predatory pricing.
A corporation cannot cut prices below "market" in one division because they expect other divisions to make up the loss in profits. This became a big issue in the early 1990s with Japanese companies like Okidata flooding the American market with low-cost semiconductor chips in competition with Intel and Texas Instruments, because the government was subsidizing the chip market.
Cost centers and profit centers have to operate independently of each other.

Agreed on Ithica—we visit it from time to time but keep our identities secret...the locals are insane leftists.
We follow the “1984” rule:
“Crimestop means the faculty of stopping short, as though by instinct, at the threshold of any dangerous thought. It includes the power of not grasping analogies, of failing to perceive logical errors, of misunderstanding the simplest arguments if they are inimical to Ingsoc, and of being bored or repelled by any train of thought which is capable of leading in a heretical direction. Crimestop, in short, means protective stupidity.”
