@1000wattbrian@glennkelman And he won’t have to pay salaries as buyer agent commissions are at high risk of being eliminated or at the very least reduced.
@NewsLambert Kind of interesting move. It seems like the agents are happy right now, but I’m not sure they understand what lies ahead. The lawsuits will create lower buyer agent commissions and more risk for Redfin. Having a salary seems like a safer bet.
Some advice for students:
If an organization of which you are a member puts out a public statement you disagree with, you have a few choices.
You can:
Stay silent and have the entire world conclude that you stand by the statement.
Convince the other members of the group to withdraw or otherwise modify the statement so that it can reflect the views of all members.
Or you can resign in protest.
Claiming that you had no involvement or knowledge of the statement, but remaining a member of the organization without it withdrawing the statement is perhaps the worst of the alternatives, as it appears to simply be an attempt to avoid accountability while continuing to be a member of the organization.
If you were managing a business, would you hire someone who blamed the despicable violent acts of a terrorist group on the victims?
I don’t think so.
Would you hire someone who was a member of a school club who issued a statement blaming lynchings by the KKK on their victims?
I don’t think so.
Would you want them to be an associate at your law firm?
Of course not.
It is not harassment to seek to understand the character of the candidates that you are considering for employment.
In fact, as CEO, it is your obligation to do so on behalf of all of the other employees in your company, the clients and customers it serves, and all of your other stakeholders.
I have heard that the above inquiry has made some members of the groups which put out the statement feel ‘unsafe,’ a word that is sadly overused in universities today.
Ask yourself how unsafe it would feel in Israel beginning Saturday early morning and how unsafe it feels now?
Ask yourself how unsafe your Jewish classmates feel when 32 clubs published a statement assigning sole responsibility for the heinous, deathly acts of terrorists to Israel and the Jews?
Experience is making mistakes and learning from them. If you have made a mistake, acknowledge it, and immediately correct your mistaken actions.
Public statements made by organizations of which you are a member can have a material negative impact on your reputation.
I have learned from experience that the best time to fix a mistake is now.
@deeber80020@ksr10sfan Adam Carolla wasn’t putting his face where it didn’t belong and air grinding on her. And he doesn’t lecture about how others should act as if he has never done anything wrong in life
@AmandaBorders15@CollinRugg Our current tax system is a laughing stock, and the IRS is the butt of the joke. The only people with something to gain from maintaining a behemoth IRS are the bureaucracy-lovers in Washington DC, who want armed, unelected agents to have more control over your paycheck than you
@AmandaBorders15@CollinRugg This transforms the US tax code from a mandatory, progressive, and convoluted system to a fully transparent and unbiased system which does away with the IRS as we know it. It is good for our economy because it encourages work, savings, and investment.
Warren Buffett had some great advice: "I could end the deficit in 5 minutes," the post quotes Buffett. "You just pass a law that says that anytime there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for re-election."
High-income Americans already pay the large majority of taxes, and the U.S. tax system is highly progressive when compared to those of other countries.
The army of 87,000 new IRS agents were meant to come audit ordinary taxpayers, Americans earning over $600 on PayPal, Venmo, or Cash App transactions. This rule is aimed at individuals who run a side hustle, small business or do part-time work.
