This is for their voters too, we need to target those who vote for them and those who don’t to try and make a difference. They do this shit because they know their base doesn’t care so we need to make that base as small as possible to topple this bullshit.
Not a dry “eye” in the house.
But the president has immunity.
The idea that a president is above the law is insane. Also ignorance of the law is not a get out of jail free card.
Pay is not the only factor.
That’s fair and it’s more steps to other than just the president saying ok, but I have to deal with the system I’m in. It’s still better than most other unions in the states. The trump years we only saw like a 2% CoLA which was barely noticable. There needs to be a huge legislative overhaul for real. I’ll still take the cheaper health insurance with a great 401k deal in the meantime. I am so frustrated with my country.
Sorry for the delayed response, you do realize that as a government employee or employer is the government, right? It’s obnoxious some years but our union fights to make sure our rights are protected. For instance Uber Trump he wanted to institute a ton of anti union things such as I cannot talk to my union rep on government time and property even though the office is located in the building.
The enrollment rate is pretty high, I’m pretty sure it’s close to 85% in my area.
You are correct
It’s that including locality pay?
It’s not just salary for government workers. We get great benefits and strong unions. Also you know what your going to be making
Lol at the meme of the user.
I believe they have to be doing something shady, there is no way in hell that would cost$15 per person. Even a nice potato bar is $11 per person according to Google. I’m not an expert in business finance but I know bulk means less cost.
That SMCF, and yes that honestly sounds worth it to me.
I see your point, but labor cost for a single baked potato that was probably cooked at the same time as the rest of them would still be minimal.
Technically gift cards are taxable but if it’s not reported who is gonna know.
Here is a little something from the IRS pub 525 about bonuses.
Bonuses and awards. Bonuses or awards you receive for outstanding work are included in your income and should be shown on your Form W-2. These include prizes such as vacation trips for meeting sales goals. If the prize or award you receive is goods or services, you must include the FMV of the goods or services in your income. However, if your employer merely promises to pay you a bonus or award at some future time, it isn’t taxable until you receive it or it’s made available to you.
So do they really believe the fair market value of a potato is $12? The IRS doesn’t go by retail price.
The FMV for a pound of russet potatoes is $2.50 soo yeah no they are doing too much and should be reported.
Meals and lodging
You don’t include in your income the value of meals and lodging provided to you and your family by your employer at no charge if the following conditions are met.
The meals are: Furnished on the business premises of your employer, and Furnished for the convenience of your employer.
It’s not just about money, but their image. Nintendo does the exact same thing with fan games that make $0.
It’s some sense of moral superiority due to entering through the “proper” channels. If that wasn’t the case then they’re just an asshole.
Analog is the way to go now
