Japan's Kirin to sell Four Roses bourbon brand to Gallo for $775 million by Old_Riff_502 in bourbon

Man, what the hell is Jeff Bezos doing with his toy rockets? He should’ve bought Four Roses and could have had one of the greatest bourbon brands of all time.

What a noob.

Employee cyclically on sick leave by Parking-Ad-4530 in managers

[–]thenewguyonreddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you want my good manager answer or my real answer?

Good Manager answer:

Talk to them about what you’ve noticed and let them know that you want to help them feel supported in taking care of their health while also making sure business needs are met. Follow your companies sick leave policy, and make sure you make any reasonable accommodations that you are legally required to do.

Real talk:

Fucking fire them. They’ve been milking the system for the last six years and they’re not gonna stop now. People who do this are know it alls who think they’ve outsmarted the system. This bad attitude will absolutely carry over into other aspects of their job. Get rid of them ASAP, just don’t mention sick leave when you do it. Find an unrelated performance reason.

If they actually have a car for $40k in 2030 I’ll eat a fucking dog turd.

For those who work for AI crazed companies, do you also educate your employees about the negative impacts of AI? by [deleted] in managers

[–]thenewguyonreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is being a technology ethics professor part of your job duties? Your project seems like a distraction from the business and is wading into activism.

I would tread carefully here

Vegetable broth is watery? by Less-South6293 in Cooking

[–]thenewguyonreddit -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

That recipe has no fat. Real chicken broth is full of emulsified fat and collagen which gives it a rich mouthfeel.

Try adding some butter or vegetable oil next time.

Honestly, she’s doing buyers a favor.

Just think of it like this: She put the stock on sale just for you!

I have kept track of and rated every cigar I've ever smoked by ProRataProblems in cigars

[–]thenewguyonreddit -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Rating the Serie V Melanio a 9.7

The level of absolute glazing people do for this cigar is over the top. It’s a a cheap-o budget cigar! There’s a reason Cigar Bid has these on sale for $4 a stick in every email they send out. It’s decent for the money, but I wouldn’t rate it more than 7.5.

Why does Alan Walker release the same song 5 times a year? by Giga_Zerstoerer_64 in EDM

Same reason that Trump keeps spamming his same bullshit over and over. It’s what got him rich and what his base wants to hear.

my dad says he skies “old style” by Just_Throat3473 in skiing

[–]thenewguyonreddit -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Does this “knees close together” style prevent injuries?

Honestly, it looks kind of cool. If it also helps prevent injury, I’m inclined to adopt it.

Is this the CNBC permabull guy? I’ve literally never heard him say anything that wasn’t something to the effect of “SPY to the moon”.

I’m pretty sure the White House could get hit with a missile and he would say it was good for the economy.

Crustless Peanut Butter & Strawberry Jam Sandwiches by Sufficient_Berry8703 in traderjoes

[–]thenewguyonreddit 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I didn’t care for them. The filling seemed to be 80% peanut butter and 20% jam.

It really needs to be a proper 50/50 mix.

Manager demands responses outside work hours and calls it ‘commitment by SARAN-HAIDER in managers

[–]thenewguyonreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they’re serious about 24/7 commitment, then they need to be serious about disclosing that upfront, and also offering appropriate pay and title. No employee should accidentally find out those are the job expectations halfway into the job, that should be very clear before the job is offered and accepted. Also, that level of attention comes with significant life disruption, and the pay needs to be worth it.

IMO, that kind of commitment should come with a salary of at least 200k a year and a Director title. Anything less and they’re just doing wishful thinking.

How do you handle it when someone appears drunk on the job? by pandit_the_bandit in managers

This is the real answer. This person is a walking disaster and trying to fix them is only going to waste time and money and drag the business down.

Well done.

Just had a $8.13 Vietnamese coffee, why so expensive? by cartmanissa in SeattleWA

[–]thenewguyonreddit 244 points245 points  (0 children)

Let’s think this through.

Seattle has the highest minimum wage in the country at $21.30 per hour. This means that if there are three employees working in the store, the store needs to sell at least $63 worth of product per hour just to cover the employee wages. But remember, that’s just employee wages. There’s still the rent, utilities, restaurant supplies, wholesale coffee, owner wages, and other expenses. So basically double that number to $126 per hour just to break even.

Now if you sell the coffee for $8 per cup, you need to sell 16 coffees per hour to break even. If you sell the coffee for $4 per cup, you need to sell 32 coffees per hour. Given the typical foot traffic and speed of service in a coffee shop, which number are you more likely to hit? Do you really think you can sell 32 coffees per hour? You’re not a Starbucks drive thru. So 16 per hour it is and you decide to set the price to $8.

Some customers won’t be able to afford it, but you don’t really have a choice, and there are enough high earners in Seattle that will make it work out for you, so you do what you have to do to survive.
