INTERVIEWER: "You’ve been at the firm for 7 years and brought in $3.2M in revenue this year. Why are you resigning?"
EMPLOYEE: "My annual performance review gave me a 3.2% merit raise."
INTERVIEWER: "A 3.2% raise on a $95,000 base salary is over $3,000 extra a year. That’s standard for top performers."
EMPLOYEE: "Real inflation on housing, health insurance, and groceries was 7.4% this year. You didn't give me a raise, you asked me to take a 4.2% pay cut for generating record revenue."
INTERVIEWER: "We can’t break equity bands for one senior associate."
EMPLOYEE: "Your recruiting division just listed my open role with a target hiring range of $125,000 to $140,000 to attract outside talent."
INTERVIEWER: "That's just the current market rate for new hires."
EMPLOYEE: "So you have a $30,000 budget to hire a replacement who doesn't know the portfolio, but zero budget to retain the person who built it."

We have a big problem that once public health declares something a "public good" then people will assume it can do no harm.
This is unscientific,
iIllogical
And dangerous.
Sign the petition.

The government have ruled that all wheat flour in the UK will now be fortified with 250mcg synthetic Folic Acid per 100gms flour - regardless of the danger this poses to the general UK population.
This needs public awareness, and debate, but is deliberately being obscured.

Well after today’s announcement from the Bank of England, there is something very, very, very wrong in the system.
So … let me get this straight:
* British Gas made a profit of £1.3bn between January & June
* BP announced profits of £6.95 billion between April and June alone
* Shell has profited by £9.4bn in a year
The MEN at the top:
* John Pettigrew, boss of National Grid received £6.5m bonus on top of his salary
* Chris O’Shea, chief executive of British Gas owner Centrica was paid almost £2m last year in salary and benefits
* Centrica's non-executive directors were paid almost £1m
* Scottish Power's CEO Keith Anderson is on £1.15m.
* E.On boss Michael Lewis is on £1m
* EDF's Simone Rossi is also on £1m
* And their top execs enjoyed a share of £4.65m
* Peter Simpson of Anglian Water earned a £1.3m pay package
* Welsh Water bosses awarded themselves bonuses of over £930,000
* Severn Trent bosses awarded themselves bonuses of £5.56m
* Thames Water's Sarah Bentley, received a £727,000 bonus on top of her £2m annual salary
Meanwhile there are...
* People who haven't had breakfast and/or lunch TODAY, because they can't afford it.
* People using FoodBanks because food is becoming more of a luxury than a necessity.
* Children celebrating a birthday without presents.
* Parents worrying about new school uniforms - and some schools enforcing rules which are not cost-effective.
* People who can't get to work because they can't afford to put petrol in their cars/pay for public transport anymore.
* People who are working so much they're making themselves ill, and they STILL CAN'T AFFORD to pay their bills.
* People who have been given fines by these same energy/water companies because they couldn't afford to pay their bills in the first place - increasing their debt.
* Customers being told to do STAR JUMPS TO KEEP WARM for crying out loud!
* Hose pipe bans when gallons of water leak away everyday.
* Elderly people NOT DRINKING because they're worried about running out of water!!!
All this and energy prices are set to rise up to 75% in October...
THIS IS MADNESS!.. I'm all for supporting profits … I'm not for supporting greed at the cost of lives of others.
Something needs to change.
Why is customers' money being used to make life more comfortable for those who are making life more intolerable for the rest of us?
I actually don't understand how the energy companies are allowed to get away with this and why the government aren't stopping them instead of handing out money.....

They asked Ronaldo for a pair of shoes to auction off to pay for their baby's brain surgery.
He sent the shoes and a signed Jersey.
Then he quietly paid the entire $83,000 medical bill, too.

Britain has outgrown France and Germany since Brexit. Yet Labour is determined to drag us backwards.
We should be using our Brexit freedoms to slash regulations, take back control of our borders, leave the ECHR and rebuild Britain.
🚨 “This is sheer dishonesty by the Prime Minister.”
@Jacob_Rees_Mogg says that Andy Burnham's lies about the Brexit vote risk undermining trust in our democracy.
Labour’s push to rejoin the EU would result in us being "swamped" by free movement and mean adopting the euro.

This is just not true. As soon as I became foreign secretary I asked the security services the same question and they replied that there was no evidence of any successful interference in the 2016 referendum, by Russia or any other power.
Either the security services have changed their view - which would be very odd - or Burnham is lying about what he has been told. After all Starmer was in power for two years and had access to exactly the same information.

Kemi Badenoch just made Andy Burnham look an idiot. She tore him to shreds. Labour are out of their depth.
We need a serious govt, and that’s not Labour. Andy Burnham is weak and is just trying to distract the British people from his failures by talking about Brexit and Russia.
🚣Burnham now seriously rowing back on Brexit/Russia in the Commons
He says: "It is a matter of record, Mr Speaker, that Russian actors sought to interfere in the 2019 general election, and we think it is inconceivable that this was the first time."
But on the Rest Is Politics he said: "I asked the question coming to Downing Street, was there interference in the 2016 referendum from Russia? And I've had the clear answer that yes, there was."
But "we think it's inconceivable" is very different to "clear answer" of successful interference.

I do not believe that the Government should be adding folic acid to our bread.
Food should be as natural as possible. That is not a controversial position.
We are now in the absurd situation where politicians think they should decide what goes into the everyday food of millions of British people.
There is an important difference between recommending a supplement to those who need it and making its addition compulsory in a staple food consumed by the entire population.
Education and targeted supplementation is the answer.
Why must the solution always be another blanket government intervention for tens of millions of people?
People should be able to buy ordinary bread without having unnecessary products forced in by the state.
Clear labelling. Informed choice. Targeted healthcare.
That simple - that's the Restore Britain position.
Keep our food as natural as possible, and let the British public decide what they eat.
I will make that argument in Parliament following the successful petition.
Leave the sodding bread alone.

Andy Burnham is being deliberately misleading.
UK fuel is double taxed.
Every litre includes fuel duty of 52.95p, then VAT is added to final sale price - after fuel duty is applied.
It's immoral and Burnham could stop it. Instead he boasts about Google maps.
What a fraud.

🚨 @andyburnham idea of saving you money on your fuel 👇🏻
Not cutting VAT: 33p per litre
Not Cutting Fuel Duty: 52p per litre
An App that allows you to see where you can save around 2p a litre 🤷🏻♂️
Id be embarrassed to even post this if I was him 👎🏻
I know people are worried about fuel prices. And I get it. You get to the pump, watch the numbers climb, and wonder why it's costing so much more than it used to.
The reality is that global events are pushing up costs, and families here at home are feeling the impact.
But I won't accept that there's nothing I can do to help.
That's why from today, you'll be able to see petrol and diesel prices on Google Maps, compare nearby stations and find the cheapest option before you fill up.
It's a small change, but if there's a practical way to help people keep more money in their pocket, I'll do it.

💥Do you want to have a 20% increased risk of cancer ?
All humans struggle to break down ‘Synthetic Folic Acid’ because it is not a natural substance.
This leads to an increase in Synthetic Folic Acid in the body.
Increased Synthetic Folic Acid levels below 1000 micrograms a day gives a 20% increased cancer risk.
The average doses of Synthetic Folic Acid with mandated flour with be 250 micrograms per day.
Why would the Government want to mandate synthetic Folic Acid into our diets and increase our cancer risk by 20% ?
Just like the Covid mRNA ‘vaccines’ ?
#SV40
Please sign the petition and stop you, your friends and family’s cancer risk increasing.

Dear @Tesco,
What you see here is called a Christmas Tree.
It's not an 'evergreen tree,' an 'alpine tree' or a 'fir tree.'
