$PAYX
NOBODY has their finger on the pulse of small and medium businesses like #Paychex.
Small biz continues to hire, wage hikes are cooling, and the macro-economy is stable:
@jamesonhaslam@shawngorham Those numbers are accurate where I'm at in the southeast. Absolutely wild guys trying to live in SoCal making the same amount as someone in Greenville, SC.
@JoshInEncinitas@rohindhar You're proving his point. Without that view, it looks like finish materials for a $750k house. The faux knotty-pine at a $6.5 million price point is mind-blowing.
@BichonRedux The Ryan Leaf of internet companies. It should be a trillion dollar company but they can't figure it out. Surely top 5 "what could have beens" of all time. Their advertising is horrendous and the funnel from search to purchase is impossible. It's in the too hard category.
@kenwheeler A return to historically normalized demand for the trades is a fraction of what it is today. Once boomers stop remodeling their homes, it's over. Trades will return to a low margin, modest business that the lower middle-class squeaks a living out with. Countdown minus 7 years.
@apralky Few are saying he's dumb. If he came out speaking like C. Hitchens though, people could get it. But he doesn't. There's no expansive intellect, nor deep specialization, or even real charm. What compelling force then summoned this elite pilgrimage into his sphere?
@vocalcry It's brilliant marketing to their core demographic. Men unable to get women feel better knowing that what they don't have is worthless anyway. In the real world, there is no serious echelon of genuine upper class that doesn't enjoy the company of women.
@jamesonhaslam The most important gift a father can give. I have a completely unscientific theory that the ability to work hard is like learning a foreign language, it's nearly impossible to acquire later in life. The majority of the population is therefore actually incapable of hard labor.
@BabyVaso@SizweLo That's a good point. I think it's also very likely that the average employee vastly overestimates their own technical competence, how much value they add to the company, and they selectively focus on management shortcomings to boost their own ego (and cope w/ stagnation).
