Breh I was going to build this summer but good grief the parts I needed with the budget were a joke, plus I needed something portable. So settled for the TUF A16 Advantage :ehh:
They just sold out at the local microcenter, but im grabbing a 9800x3d bundle, a case, and an m2. Drive. Next year will be leaner for my while saving for another home. Im not trying to pay more for a computer than I need to. Waiting for AMDs chip as well. Refuse to buy Nvidia.

Majority of the country is dumb when it concerns to politics and what they voted for

All they heard from a candidate is “ im going to bring your jobs back from china, from Russia and im going to secure the border “ without reading or understanding what’s really going on

These small towns are going to be shell shocked when andys supply store closed down and the mill down the road shut down

Not an excuse, but I'm sure the CFO and FP&A team laid it out to the CEO on the likely possibilities.

Cutting bonuses to insure you have a better chance of fulfilling your future obligations in the event of these dumb ass tariffs is common sense.

If it were that dire, they would've had this planned out like 2 QTRs ago, and notified their employees like 6-months in advance that this was a possibility, not wait until a month before they were set to disperse them.

Cutting bonuses is common sense, as well as restructuring, but the timing of it calls BS.

yeah, the wording there is a little too cute. some disgruntled liberal wrote this

nothing has been remotely laid out in concrete for shyt like this to happen....the DAY after the election :dead:
Right.

No fukking idea what the tariffs will be, what goods will be affected, when they will be enacted…but let’s go ahead and purchase three years of raw materials just because.

They even threw in Christmas bonus to tug at heartstrings.

Breh the fall from grace with Nvidia and Intel is the stuff to study :picard: . I used to be a die hard Intel head, until I got a grab of that Ryzen life.

I'm never going back :wow:

This is BS. The company was already going to not pay out Christmas bonuses, they just found an easy excuse. It's already November. They either had it budgeted or they didn't.
If it is a "Christmas Bonus", it's discretionary and the CEO can do wtf he wants as he sees fit. Especially in a private company.

If it's a publicly traded company and they've been accruing this bonus all fiscal year (and plan to deduct this bonus pool amount from Corp taxes), then yes they must pay it out according to the company bonus plan. Also, they'd be paying it out a month or two after the end of the FY.

Breh I have been dying for this country to go into the 21st century, and quite frankly its like the powers that be gave up the ghost and allowed the devil to take charge.

Now we await our Amazon overlord to swallow everything in existence :wow:

This is what Bob and Jane wanted in Buttass Texas with the population of 24. They thought "Coal mining and oil drilling".

But big bank and corpo thinking Night City and that shyt house small county going to be the land to plant the highway loop over :banderas:

All you have to do is look at what Trump did to the farmers when he started a trade war and put tariff on the Chinese imports. Chinese retailated against US exporters which caused US agriculture exports to drop like crazy. They also said fukk it we ain't buying anything then. US farmers soybean products dropped by 75%. Farmers lost crazy money and i think some went for bankruptcy.

Trump admin spent 28 billion in taxpayer dollars to give farmers bailout money.

Notifying employees 6 months in advance would just cause panic. 6 months ago CEOs probably assumed Joe Biden would win relection and this tariffs shyt isn't even a thought. A CEO supposed to predict what Trump will say/do in 6 months? Trump don't even know :russ:
