#corporate — Public Fediverse posts

Weird idea to stop #waste, #fraud, and, #abuse of #taxpayer #money.

If a #corporation's #employees qualify for #government #assistance, the corporation is required to #reimburse the assistance #program for #benefits disbursed, plus an additional percentage to cover the #cost of overhead and collection of money owed.

This would apply to employees working 30+ hours/week or who work any number of hours while holding multiple jobs.

I love my neighbors, but my #tax dollars should not be subsidizing #corporate #profit.

I found about this rally from the #MaineDSA mailing list! #DSA and #EnvironmentalGroups working together!!!

#PortlandME and #LewistonME - August 27, 2026

No Immunity for #BigOil Rallies!

"While making record profits, Big Oil and their allies in Congress are trying to get off the hook from paying for damages caused by their pollution by passing sweeping immunity legislation to protect their #corporate interests. Let's be clear: if you make a mess, you clean it up. #Maine taxpayers have been stuck paying for climate damages with no support from the corporations that caused the problem, and that isn't right.

"Join NRCM and our coalition partners on Thursday, August 27th in Portland and/or Lewiston to tell Maine's Congressional delegation to oppose Immunity for Big Oil and Make Polluters Pay for the damages they've caused in Maine.

Portland
When: 12 PM
Where: Lobsterman Park, 1 Temple Street
What: Rally followed by a march to deliver letters to the offices of Sen. Collins, Sen. King, and Rep. Pingree. Bring your signs, your voice, and your energy!


Lewiston
When: 4 PM
Where: Dufresne Plaza, 72 Lisbon Street, Lewiston
What: Rally followed by a march to deliver letters to Sen. Collins and Rep. Golden. Bring your signs, your voice, and your energy! "

Remember the rich corps that accused you of stealing #knowledge, in the name of #piracy? This is what those hypocrites are doing to rare old #books en masse in the name of training #AI. Cut off their spine, scan the pages, and then shred them!

Imagine the value of our hereditary #knowledge they destroy for #profit! We need to rip out these #corporate #predators from our supply chain before they destroy #humanity for profit!

I could go through the entire list you cited, and nearly every one of them are beholden to some #billionaire whose only #corporate responsibility is to #shareholders and a profitable bottom line.

This is perhaps where we “disagree”. I am skeptical … beyond skeptical actually, of all of those that you listed to be “reliable” #sources of information. (4/6)

🚀🤖 Who knew that wrangling #AI was the same as herding #cats in a #corporate meeting? Apparently, our author has just discovered that AI requires this mystical "leadership" skill, rather than just the arcane magic of #coding. 🙄 Next week's revelation: "Computers need electricity to run!" ⚡

HR Needs to Stay in Their Lane!

How many of us know this feeling at work? Walking on eggshells, staying quiet to avoid rocking the boat, nodding along just to play it safe and stay off HR's radar.

But here's the cost: you're never truly heard, nothing gets debated, and the difficult conversations that actually move things forward just don't happen. What we call a positive culture and a safe space is often just "toxic positivity" in disguise.

Worth a watch.

The UN tax convention can finally modernise our global tax system by requiring multinationals to pay tax where they actually create profit, instead of where they pretend to on paper.

#Taxes #Corporate #UN

There's a weird thing that happens in the corporate world that I can't really explain, but maybe someone can help me out.

Someone does something crude, rude, thoughtless, or inconsiderate, expecting to get away with it.

Someone else says "hey, that was really inconsiderate and thoughtless."

People start attacking the second person, the one who pointed out the bad behavior, rather than the person behaving badly.

Make it make sense.

I finally got what passes for guidance from my new team at work.

They haven't packaged any of their libraries. They're all set with local references.

So I download a project. It won't build because I didn't download this other project.

It's all one ugly chain-compiled ball of burning garbage.
