I had this reaction too, but then I heard a NPR segment where the interviewee mentioned that often times counter tip money doesn't go to the workers. So it's basically just the business asking you for more money than the posted pr

Agree to disagree. Even for a company that advertises and publishes their pay scales, an employee at level x will look at another employee at level x (with the same experience, same tenure, same everything) and think: "this isn't

You don't get to be a big business without being a small business first. I agree with you that it's in Walmart's interest to not want employees to discuss wage. If I was in their position I wouldn't want my employees tal

There's a lot of room between Walmart and "mom and pop". And I would guess that the majority of employees work for a company in that middle area. Try running a job search on any big job board and you'll see what I mean.

Because not all companies have incredible profits. They have to manage their money, and a big part of that is salary. I know it's convenient to believe that all employers are greedy Scrooge McMusks taking advantage of their employees,

Probably true. But would you be ok taking a pay cut in order for you and your equivalent peers to make the exact same amount? Cuts both ways.

Exactly. Just because they ended up reducing headcount doesn't mean they failed. Success isn't measured from the employee perspective. Everyone here calling for their heads is using the wrong measuring stick.

78 comments as of now and I can't find one from an actual employer, only people speaking for employers.

Right, but my original point was that no normal person (including OP) dares to take such a risk with a single stock, so in real life there is no "equivalent amount of S&P" in the equation.

We can't know unless we know how much meta he bought and how much s&p he owns (if any). But 5% is probably much more than anyone should allocate to a single stock. And just to demonstrate my point, he could have bought 1 share of m

Only if you care about percentage gains more than dollar amounts. Depending on how much meta he actually bought, he may have made more money today with the s&p's 0.22% gain that he's made with meta all time . But meta proba

> I bought a small amount This is why it's really hard to win big buying individual stocks. You finally pulled the trigger, and you won, but you never even had a chance to make more than a small gain. Say you even bought $100k, whic

Simple is not the same as easy. Your plan is simple, but someone making 20k/yr probably does not share your belief that making much more than that is easy to do.

IMO your first two suggestions aren't actually a form of testing. If you've rolled out a feature to real paying customers (not beta testers), and find that it's broken, you don't get a pass because you were only "te
