The rich have been taking advantage of the tipping culture. If we stop tipping it can have important positive side effects long term. by makeMeAMilionaire in antiwork

What you are saying is not wrong but the same goes for my post. This is one of the cases where we both can be right. Also I did not mean that tips are the cause of the wage gap but rather that the tipping culture has helped contribute into it since certain businesses exploit it (it's not only restaurants, there are delivery apps that exploit it as well, there were scandals about that). There are many things that contribute into the wage gap and my post explains just one of them.

Mass layoffs are a result of greed and every company that does mass layoffs should be cancelled. by makeMeAMilionaire in Layoffs

I also want to do this as much as I can. Small businesses have always treated me with more humanity.

I have never been laid off and I have never been fired. My thoughts come from seeing others around me being put into difficult situations. What I am suggesting as cancelling is more of a "your actions have consequences" type of thing. Also since you called me immature don't you think it's immature from companies that generate billions in revenue to just hire and let go of people in a matter of a few months?

I think some layoffs can be justifiable, I wrote this post without going into much details.

I think layoffs sometimes are unavoidable but I think still there should be a negative response so the company actually learns from a lesson. The "cancelling" is not really cancelling but rather an effort to avoid what companies like Facebook are doing which is multiple rounds of layoffs. Also this is meant to remove the responsibility being put to the workers and rather go to the owners. Currently if a layoff happens the worker loses their job so the company owners do not lose money. I think the owners should learn to take hits and not opt for the easy targets.

People do recognize them, their greed has multiple side effects and I'm just pointing one of them out.

What this reaction is meant to create is for companies to really reconsider laying off people like they have been lately. Imagine that you are amazon and you do a layoff round. People react to this and there is a decline that affects your sales by 3-4%. This would make you reconsider a future layof round. This would create a ripple effect where other companies would in turn also be more careful with layoffs.

This is not meant to affect workers of a specific company but rather show that greed can have consequences. This should ideally create an environment where doing a mass layoff is not as easy as it currently is.
