    Millions of crumbs being shared across the country much to the chagrin of Dems. Pelosi tells us the tax cuts were Armageddon! Say what! Build the wall and finally,   please Lock her Up! Bombshell texts coming out destroying the far fetched plot to take down President Donald John Trump. MAGA!

    News flash...

     

    Chipotle could have given bonuses and better wages to their employees years and years ago...their balance sheet shows plenty of cash to afford better reward for their labor force. It is also a smoke screen to an underlying business which is going down. Ive thought for years (and if you have seen my posts you would have caught it) that Chipotle is a sub 100 buck stock, their valuation is absurd and the stock was over 700 not that long ago. Fair value on the stock is I say 70 bucks...their growth is gone, their image is damaged and the stock is on a multi year low today. Bring it down to 2009 valuations and I might be interested. They need to focus on growing same store sales not increasing units and how they can bring back better internal growth. 

    I love it when companies try and hide their problems with marketing garbage like this.

    Kimberly -Clark announced more layoffs while also rising their dividend 3.1%. They also closed 2 plants in Wisconsin.

    Compass Group, Akami Technologies, Viacom, Teva Pharmaceuticals, Premier INC, IPL, Autodesk, Whirlpool, Sears, Academy Sports & Georgia Pacific have all announced layoffs in the 1st week of February. 

    Bon-ton announced the closing of 42 stores & filed for bankruptcy.

    The joint venture between Xerox & Fujifulm will result in 10,000 losing their jobs.

    Chesapeake Energy announced 400 layoffs mostly in Oklahoma.

    Electrolux will close their plant in St. Cloud next year. Harley Davidson's plant in KC will also close.

    I guess these folks won't be getting any bonuses or salary increases.

    CVS Health will boost starting pay for hourly employees up $2 in crumbs to $11 per hour from $9 per hour, starting in April..CVS will increase employee pay and sweeten benefits to some employees using a portion of the company's windfall from the new Trump tax law. The company has more than 240,000 employees.

    CVS said the employee investments will total about $425 million crumbs annually. This spending includes the wage increases and improved benefits.

    ^This has nothing to due with the tax cut/bonuses but GrubHub announced hiring an additional 20,000 contractor drivers because they signed a new contract with Yum Brands to deliver food from their restaurants.

    When I looked earlier today the stock was up $18. Saw the young CEO on TV this afternoon & was impressed.

    Grand Rapids,MI. based Mill Steel Company said it will give a one-time $1,000 bonus crumbs to all 400 of its full-time employees, “following the tax cut passed by Congress and signed by President Donald Trump.”

    The company is a distributor of flat-rolled carbon steel to various industries: transportation; appliance; office furniture; construction; home goods; and agriculture.

    Because... Flemington Car & Truck Country Family of Brands whose dealerships are located in Flemington, New Jersey.....will benefit from the corporate tax cut..has given the 700 employees of his car dealerships bonuses of up to $500 ..

    I am saying you are nitpicking the poster when it was unnecessary. You are not a person to try and criticize someone for being off topic. Its quite a snoozer seeing this partisan bickering you do just to be difficult. He asked a question, why not ignore it than to make a lame reply as you did? If you took as much time in answering the question as you did to point out his question was off topic then maybe somthing postive could have resulted...but no you are not interested in that at all.

    This is the post below...

    This has nothing to due with the tax cut/bonuses but GrubHub announced hiring an additional 20,000 contractor drivers because they signed a new contract with Yum Brands to deliver food from their restaurants.

    When I looked earlier today the stock was up $18. Saw the young CEO on TV this afternoon & was impressed.

    Point out the question..................

    Who cares? He made a comment about the company in question and that he liked their CEO etc...why the crap do you need to try and make something out of nothing? Ignore the comment or reply back in a respectful way...not that sarcastic garbage you are known for and that is for sure intentional. You go off topic especially when trying to make a dig on someone, it happens and most all here go off topic from time to time...WHO CARES?

    Why not either pass by and say nothing or try and be positive and pleasant? Is it that difficult?

    I'm confused. Do you have to answer a question?  If a third party deems it baiting, do you have to answer?  If there is no question, are you allowed to comment on someone's comment?  If the comment is off topic, does that exclude it from further comment?  
    As long as it is not completely disrespectful, name-calling, or belittling (sort of like the complainer talks about Trump or anyone that seems to support him) --- then it should be okay.  It is, after all, an open forum.

    He made a comment...you felt the need to take a little shot at him for no purpose at all, that is my point...question, comment whatever...you are nitpicking even now. You are going off topic right now.

     

    The point is negativity intentionally made to just be unpleasant. You were not adding ANY value making the comments you did, it served no purpose and his comment was not harming anyone in any way...so why make the comment at all? We both know why, you like to nitpick and be negative because that is the kind of person you are.

    It grows tiring the negativity and whining you do so regularly, the intentional jabs and digs, how quick you are to jump in when there is an opportunity to take a shot, how little those things add in value.

    Now, that everyone has had there little jabs and nit-picking back and forth ....

    Back to the thread topic...

    U-Haul on Friday said it will issue bonuses to its full-time and part-time employees, joining other corporations in rewarding employees after the passage of the Trump tax reform.

    The Phoenix-based moving and storage company, which is a subsidiary of AMERCO, said full-time employees will receive a one-time bonus of $1,200 and part-time workers will receive a bonus of $500. The bonuses will be issued by the end of February and amount to more than $23 million in payments to nearly 29,000 team members, U-Haul said.
