"Columbia CEO Tim Boyle has cut his salary to $10,000 a year to pay employee salaries"
https://www.kgw.com/mobile/article/news/local/columbia-sportswear-ceo-tim-boyle-cuts-own-salary-to-10k-retail-employees-receive-regular-pay/283-0a10c3ea-20bc-414b-adac-3731e059643c
So this guys salary was about $1,000,000. The article doesn't say anything about his $2,000.000 bonus
With 3500 employees that's a one time payment of $285 a person. That's their regular salary? Let's say he's cutting his bonus too. So a one time payment of $800 a person?
Of course the dumbasses who think Bloomberg could have given everyone $1,000,000 thinks Boyle is a hero and the "have my business". It's great that they are paying their employees. But to bundle that with the spin that the ceo is personally football the bill is a dishonest PR stunt. And of course it wasn't done humbly and quietly, it was done with a big press release. And of course the gullible public eats it up.

It's their money, why do you care?

Don't. Just pointing out how retards don't do math and a PR stunt works on the masses. Quite easily.GrundleStiltzkin said:It's their money, why do you care?
It's a commentary on people who eat this shit up. And of course Columbia knows it and leverages it.
People applaud them as a "good Company" when in fact the people are getting played. -
Sounds like they're bringing value to their shareholders.MikeDamone said:

It's a PR stunt to manipulate the Karen's of the world. It's dishonest wording and meant to provoke emotion.
You seem to be missing my point. -
It was so obvious a point that I thought you might have some deeper insights. I was mistaken. Sorry.MikeDamone said:

So what's your argument? That isn't not a PR stunt to appear compassionate and virtuous while the truth is it's the opposite. An opportunity to increase profit while deceiving people who aren't good with numbers. Which is most people.GrundleStiltzkin said:

Seems like a decent thing to do. How much are you giving? Was Boyle not earning his salary? Was the hit to the workers his fault? I know the family and they are great people. His daughter played softball with my daughter. Tim is not a dick. Not a good look on you.

Good Christ. Like I said. PR stunts work on the weak minded and emotional. Do the god damn math. Not a good look on you.WestlinnDuck said:Seems like a decent thing to do. How much are you giving?

Paying the employees is great. To think it has any relationship or is enabled by his salary reduction is absurd. It’s a drop in the bucket and doesn’t move the needle. Pure PR play to minimize the damage. Hence the press release vs just doing it humbly.
Pics of the daughters playing softball? -
How much did you give again? It was a nice gesture. Columbia is a great company and employer. Boyle isn't Simon Legree. If you are weak minded and think this will make all his employees millionaires then that's on the weak minded. That's not why he did it. I'll make a note you are looking for pics of 12 year old little girls.

How about their moms?WestlinnDuck said:How much did you give again? It was a nice gesture. Columbia is a great company and employer. Boyle isn't Simon Legree.

Seems like your looking for pics of little girls too.

Like I said. PR stunts work on the weak minded...,,,
I was proven right, quite easily. -
In fairness to MD's point, why did Boyle or his company have to mention him not taking a salary at all? The more magnanimous leader wouldn't publicly state this especially when he/she will still make millions off the company. And for you PC police, mettoo libtards, yes this goes for Trump as well. Both are PC stunts designed to garner goodwill with the weak-minded who need this BS in their lives.WestlinnDuck said:How much did you give again? It was a nice gesture.

For all these grand gestures - why do they need to send a press release out about how wonderful they are?DuckHHunterisafag said:

Just cut your fucking pay and be Nebraska classy about it. If you value your employees, the owner should be the last guy taking a paycheck anyway even in good times (fight me on that - you want the reward in the good times, you take the risk in the bad times).
A couple well-dropped hints in the HR department gossip circle and the word will spread like wildfire that the owner isn't taking any pay.
