Grab your tiniest violin: Google, once known for its lavish work perks, is slashing its fun budget. Employees can no longer jet off on as many jollies as they used to and are going to have to dramatically scale back their Christmas parties. The cost-cutting hasn’t gone down well with Google staff, who confronted the CEO, Sundar Pichai, at a recent company-wide meeting. Why was Google “nickel-and-diming” them, Pichai was asked, when the company “had record profits and huge cash… Source link

Dissatisfied Google employees have put top executives on the hot seat a few times this year.  Most recently, they interrogated CEO Sundar Pichai at an all-hands meeting this week about the company’s spending cuts amid a challenging economic climate, CNBC first reported.  At the meeting, employees submitted questions via an internal Google tool, and fellow workers then up-voted popular questions for executives to answer.

Buffett also supports a couple of charities with which he has deeply personal connections, and often does so by unconventional means. In particular: auctions. (For Buffett, seeing how these pan out… Source link

Whether dodging taxes or legal peril, wealthy Americans often succeed in concealing assets from the government by hiding their money in offshore bank accounts. Research from the IRS and a group of economists last year found that the top 1% of earners in the U.S. neglect to report 20% of their income — and that random audits almost never detect offshore accounts. “The level of sneakiness around very wealthy American clients hiding their money abroad is kind of staggering,” best-selling… Source link

Four months ago, when Deshaun Watson signed the most staggering contract in NFL history, a fully guaranteed $230 million dollar deal, the salary implications across the league were unmistakable. It had the potential to completely reshape the ceiling and floor of top-10 caliber NFL quarterback money. And it left a message resonating through front office and ownership suites. Now we wait.

“The Federal Reserve isn’t trying to kill the economy, it’s just trying to end free money,” said veteran strategist John Stoltzfus. “Free money is bad in our view in that it encourages all kinds of speculation, it inflates asset classes.. and it creates instability in the economy,” added Oppenheimer’s chief asset management strategist. Stolttzfus’ comments come on the heels of last month’s jobs data highlighting continued tight labor market conditions. Market watchers see the… Source link
