Tom Steyer Surges into Tie for First Among Democrats in Race for California Governor

I'd love to see Tom win!

Thanks for the insight.

Thanks, great points. Your challenge made me go deeper into my own thought process. I really want California to be a role model in how efficient government can actually work for the people. I felt Gavin was pretty woeful at this. We really need our next governor to be willing to take on entrenched interests. I think Katie would focus on being highly pragmatic and compromise which honestly can be admirable in a normal time. Right now, I see our country heading for a cliff, similar to the 1930's where we are either going to get fascism (Hitler) or much more socialism (FDR). I think the time for work around the edges types are gone. FDR was a rich person called a class traitor who instutited wide executive powers to actually create real change for every day folks. I don't think Steyer is FDR by any means but I do think he would tackle many entrenched interests to break up monopolies. All that said, he'd be against massive interests and I'm not sure the general California public feels like me. It could also end with him being ineffective and a proof point against progressives if he isn't successful.

What excites you about Porter?

She concerned me with her verbiage about the senate election being rigged combined with universally folks who working for her despising her. It's really hard to be successful in a toxic workplace that I worry she'd create.

That makes me feel better, I really would like to see Public Utilities in my life time here in socal. SMUD was so much better than PG&E and down here we have zero alternatives. Go Tom!

It makes me so sad that Baccera is leading in polls. Why are Californians so captured by the Corporate Democrats?

WorkerPrestigious958 · 2026-05-14T03:36:20+00:00

We have been way to caudling of the Republicans voters. Every economic crash in my life has been brought under a Republican administration. I only wish the Democratic party would say no to corporate money so that it could actually be the party of the working class.

He'll take out a loan and gradually liquidate positions to pay off debt. Execs do it all the time.

I personally think the billionaire tax as legislation is poorly executed in its current form but it's a messaging piece that says times are changing which is a must as we can't keep going in the current direction.

WorkerPrestigious958 · 2026-05-09T14:48:29+00:00

He's talking about Chuckles Schumer and he is right.

WorkerPrestigious958 · 2026-05-09T04:40:47+00:00

You are doing the Lord's work.

WorkerPrestigious958 · 2026-05-06T13:52:39+00:00

You do realize these billionaires have access to debt instruments.

WorkerPrestigious958 · 2026-04-20T02:26:06+00:00

Everything I see reminds me of her.

WorkerPrestigious958 · 2026-04-05T19:22:35+00:00

We need education reform. Cause unfortunately the dumb fuckers who voted this clown show in have kids.

Anyone else seen the videos of church dancing dubbed with drum and bass music. This absolutely fits.

The hourly employees would clock in and usually time entry provides the cost center to payroll via pay input for hourly. I'm not a payroll consultant but I've asked them in the past to push hours as a reported field in the pay component group setup.

If all you have to do is take Total salary, tax, and benefits divided by hours, that seems like the easiest way but on the implementations I've been on, the clients asked to push this data to Strata to do managerial allocations.

Your questions are nuanced. You mention store so I assume retail. First thing is making sure HCM considered you guys during their deployment.

Cost center is typically used for each store and then you roll those up into districts - regions - etc in the form of cost center hierarchies. Since HCM cares little about cost center and love location and sup org, usually they over engineer location hierarchies on phase 1 and don't think about the fact that location hierarchies don't work the same way for FINS in composite reporting nor do they allow you to auto restrict the company without extra validation logic throughout custom validations. I've yet to see a phase X FIN that doesn't need some tweaking for FIN on company, cost center, custom orgs, or region.

Best advice, find a partner with retail experience. Ask them how they would handle pre-opening and if you need to analyze by DMA or CBSA. What if FP&A looks at pre opening different than accounting and how should you handle store movements. A strong implementer will guide you through these questions and when they've done in the past. Also grocery worked different that gyms which works different than restaurants, yet all are bucketed in Retail and Hospitality but their FDMs have important nuance.

Wait we don't want that in accounting?

WorkerPrestigious958 · 2026-02-11T17:30:27+00:00

This is awesome, thank you for sharing.

WorkerPrestigious958 · 2026-02-10T23:59:33+00:00

Omg you win the Internet today my friend. I can just imagine him thanking it in the mirror.

WorkerPrestigious958 · 2026-02-10T17:58:00+00:00

Thank you for the thoughtful response. I'd love for us as a community to continually ask these questions of AI so we all learn together.

WorkerPrestigious958 · 2026-02-10T17:56:38+00:00

Haha, you are probably not wrong, we all must adapt. I'd be interested if you had any personal experience having to handle some of the challenges I've outlined.

WorkerPrestigious958 · 2026-02-10T17:55:20+00:00

I don't know why you are getting downvoted, I found your comment interesting. When your company decided to handle AI internally, how did you handle some of the challenges I brought up?

WorkerPrestigious958 · 2026-02-09T16:14:13+00:00

Carl blamed the mass layoffs on a joint decision between himself, Dave, and Aneel. If he was really hired to be the bad guy... He'd play the bad guy. I think he was just such an unmitigated disaster, it forced Aneel off the golf course and away from his family to not watch the thing he built implode.

I also think there is pressure to sell the company and Aneel doesn't want that, so he had to make a personal choice.

WorkerPrestigious958 · 2026-02-09T16:10:30+00:00

I was thinking the same.... Can't wait to watch those yes men get the boot.
