This is unacceptable and I hope the teams will reconsider their choice here.

While not every CEO has spoken directly about this manner, pretty much every company offering group healthcare right now is cutting back hours for part time employees to no greater than 27 a week. From Home Depot to restaurant chains. It's just going to cost them too much money once health care reform rolls through in January, and since everyone is going to be able to qualify for it there isn't a reason for them to provide it.

On topic: I'm getting pizza tomorrow for tl.net of course.


From the 2nd link..

Papa John's total revenue for last year: $1.218 billion
Papa John's total operating costs for last year: $1.131 billion
Papa John's total profit = $1.218 billion - $1.131 billion = $87 million
Papa John's CEO estimate of the cost of Obamacare: $5-8 million

As you can see from the figures the cost of Obamacare is negligible and Papa John's is using it as a scapegoat to cut employee hours or to raise the price of pizza so that they can maintain the same margin of profitability. Regardless, this is a big moment for esports so I support the pizza promotion and will be ordering some myself

How is $5-8m of a $87m LOSS negligible (I'm assuming the figures you've used are correct)


Math must be upside down in AU too. 1.218 > 1.131. Its an 87 million profit

Wasn't my math, just misread the figures (and didn't check them). My bad! ;\

Total revenue minus total costs = Profit, yes?
Therefore, using his figures, 1218 - 1131 = -87
As in, negative. As in lost money. Aka loss.

Am I missing something here.


Yes, twelve hundred anything minus eleven hundred anything cannot possibly be a negative number since you know 12 - 11 = 1

Anyway as to part-time vs full-time, if you think that Obamacare is just an excuse for a long-term shift, go look at Bureau of Labor statistics. Full-time jobs nosedived in 2008, recovered slowly to a ceiling and have stagnated. Obamacare is not a current excuse. It is just another straw on the camel's back, another contributor to this long-term shift from a full-time worker society to a part-time one. And this shift isn't something that has to happen, but it will if external costs with half-baked justifications and half-baked mechanisms like Obamacare keep getting imposed on business.

Yeah, quite obvious when I redid it. Really don't know how I fucked that up. My mistake.

As much as I detest fast food, I can do nothing but praise those supporting esports by eating a pizza this week!!! Go go go. For the opportunity this represents to grow eSports, it's worth it to have one day off being a health nut.

Tier 8 plz.

Healthy Starcraft players killing eSports.

I feel it's very appropriate that we have a meter on the page, to measure the new low we've hit. It was depressing listening to commentators plugging/selling junk food on streams yesterday (D2L).

Holy shit do I want 2010 back.

LOL.

Thankfully, our opinion as Europeans matters very little since this isn't aimed towards us.

Tier 8 - iNcontroL and TLO will switch teams for a week and act as head coaches in an EG vs. Liquid off-race showmatch


Hahaha man it would be weird to see them in TL and EG shirts respectively

This must happen
