re: #155 Targetpractice

That really is the unspoken reality of all the pearl-clutching over prices going up if the minimum wage goes up, the worry that execs and investors might have to accept a little less to pay workers a little more.

And it’s why I admire the hell out of the Costco executives. They know they’re taking a little less by paying their employees better in benefits and pay but they don’t mind because they know they’ve created a happy place to work and shop at. I really wish more companies would look at what Costco has done and realize you can not only be profitable by treating your employees like more than chattel but you’re also creating a place where they’ll love to work. Being good to your employees is good for business. For fuck sake, Waltons and Schiffs of the world, even Henry Ford knew that and he was a raging lunatic.
