    And I know that 1.5 million was barely anything when it was distributed among all the employees

  2. > “I didn’t want anybody shooting me in the back or anything after the first day, because we really screwed it up. We had no idea that we were going to get that kind of response,” the burger boss joked in an interview with Fortune magazine this week.

    Have you tried making an standard combo order of burger, fries, and a drink a semi reasonable price? Cause I’d love to be able to go to Five Guys without feeling like I’m making a horrible financial decision.

    Pay people fairly and treat them with respect and you won’t have this problem. But I guess that’s too hard for most CEOs

    He needs to be worried about the customers with how much a damn meal costs

  6. I spoke with a friend who is in the security business and he said that CEOs were freaked out by what happened to the United Healthcare CEO and demand for personal security has gone way up since then.

    So $1,000 each? After taxes you’re looking at maybe $600-700 based on your state of employment? I guess it’s better than nothing but like idk dude, don’t pay yourself on the back too
    much

    Billionaires aren’t afraid of the law (because they’re above it now). They’re not afraid of losing their money (because they won’t) and they are afraid of feeling moral guilt (because they’re incapable).

    There’s only really one thing left for them to fear.

    What he needs to do is lower prices. A fast-food burger and fries should not be twenty-five doll hairs.
