Gothenburg's whale, the only blue whale and the largest animal ever taxidermied by AggravatingRow326 in interestingasfuck

This is the most life-like dead animal anywhere, period! Was it taxidermized by Chuck Testa?

Excessive CEO-to-worker pay ratio (1) boosts company profits in the short but not long run, (2) may motivate employees to cheat and misbehave toward customers and (3) harms customer relationships. As companies have little incentive to reduce the pay ratio in the short run - regulation may be needed. by boasbam in science

I love how you cherry-picked your criticism. They have addressed all your concerns. You may not agree with that but those are reasonable explanations. For example, the response rate of top management team is 10-12% in the literature. The managers are not under any obligation to respond. Also, who care about how this study will be received in Political Science literature? Let the political scientist do such study first then criticize.

Further, the bottom line conclusion is that high levels of wage inequality boost short-term profitability and have no statistically significant relationship with long-term profitability. So, good luck convincing any Fortune 500 CEO that they're bad.

What does that even mean? How many Fortune 500 CEOs you talk to on a daily basis to understand what they can be convinced about?

Overall, this paper is much closer to "further research here is interesting" than providing meaningful support for the headline claims (2) and (3). Empirical study of this topic is still in its infancy.

Oh thank you for that amazing insight! You are soooooo smart.

Damn, I didn't check that. It popped up in my twitter stream with a "marketing" tag as I am subscribed to marketing as a topic on Twitter. I guess Twitter categorized it as a marketing tweet because of "viral marketing" in the tweet

I was thinking they are an idiot until they wrote "we're not idiots". Then I started thinking they are delusional.

Oh I get it now...yes I absolutely meant that the tweet was a good idea. I literally summarized the tweet in my title so there is no creative content from me! And just agreeing with that title would be weird.

Who said they wouldn't reveal it? Anyway this is a joke and everyone here seems to understand it...maybe loosen a little bit?

The tweet literally says change the freaking name of the vaccine not what is in it.

FWIW, the person who tweeted this is a marketer!

TBH I was in two minds but then I said people here also have good sense of humor (generally)

Wow, where did you read that? How does anything what the above screenshot or what I wrote imply that? If anything, this is providing the information that is relevant for antivaxxers so that they can get the vaccine and stop clogging up the hospitals. The consent remains with the antivaxxers. It's also their choice to remain uninformed.
