An animal welfare charity in western Canada is scrambling to secure the resources needed to care for about 300 cats – all of them seemingly in good condition – after a call came in from a man who described himself as being “overwhelmed” by the sheer number of cats and kittens in his home....

I’m sure you’re joking but my city just replaced two intersections with stone paving. It’s nice and smooth too, I wonder if it’ll last longer than asphalt.
Sounds nice in theory, but keep in mind salaried includes mid level store management that works 50-60 hours/week. Their hourly rate is basically the same as entry level cashiers.
My wife is a top performer in her district and got like $2k it’s not a glamorous C-suite bonus. With 80 reports that’d be $25/person vs a lifeline towards student loans, rent, etc.
That said, she regularly buys things for her team when they go above and beyond, but on company dime. Remember that Corporate Target could easily pay for hourly TM bonuses with “soaring profits” but instead cuts payroll hours to appease shareholders. They’re the enemy, not frontline managers dealing with shitty customers every day.
It’s not her responsibility to cut her own pay to pay her team. I get your sentiment but your solution feels a little misguided. Target is more than capable of compensating everyone if they’re making record profits but they choose not to.
Starting salary for my wife’s position is $55-60k and she’s one level below store directors that make $100k+. Again, she works 50+ hours not by choice, that’s the minimum set by the company. She’s not the enemy, Target is.
Bonuses are tied into compensation. With your logic anyone making more than entry level employees should redistribute their paychecks, which doesn’t help anything.
Again, I want to separate C-suite bonuses vs front line manager bonuses. If you’re not an executive your bonus is part of your compensation and nowadays is a way for a corporation to withhold pay if performance KPIs aren’t hit or the company doesn’t do well. It’s not “extra pay”, it’s a contingent part of your salary.
Lol my thoughts exactly… I’ve also been, it’s literally a testament to geological change over time and rich in archeological significance from the natives that once lived there.
Also having been to many national parks it’s not even the most impressive imo, even in the area. I thought Bryce Canyon was cooler 🤷♂️
I miss that about college, 24 hour library filled with people. You have to be quiet on the main floors but upstairs was less strict.
The routine of get a coffee, study for a while, go pee and step outside with some friends for a smoke, and grab another coffee on the way in. Rinse and repeat until the sun comes up.
Yeah the upper floors are supposed to be for quiet study but you could still collaborate and talk without being hushed, just can’t get too roudy. Michigan State btw.
I have a stomach of steel. I only eat fast food like once a week - McDonald’s, taco bell, chipotle doesn’t phase me but BK absolutely wrecks my gut for 24 hours. I’ve tried ordering different things but the result is always a shit tsunami. Which is a shame because it’s so tasty.
I just spent my afternoon doing volume calculations… each unit is 3 oz, I need 300 units, 900 oz, but I can only buy in 1 gallon which is 128 oz, etc. For this one, each unit is 10g and 600 of those, I can buy in 1.25 lb or 2.6 lb let’s convert that and see what the cost per gram is and go with the cheaper, okay I can buy in 1180g how much do I need again?
Repeat that 57 times and you too can have a job in supply chain.
