I was talking to my boss the other day (I work in a factory) and he said that our tire factory provides eight million dollars worth of tires per month. There are about 30 employees here plus the manager and each employee makes $4000 on average per month for a total of $120000 per month and the manager makes $9000 per month. So, the payroll at this facility is around $130,000.
I have talked to the boss and he has said the utilities and building rent is $400,000 per month and the raw materials is another $500K.
So, out of eight million, about $1.1 million is spent on actual productive stuff. Do you think this is an efficient distribution of reward ? Is it fair for the productive work to get less than 15% of proceeds.
Where is the other $7 million going? It is going to corporate, banking and to government. And not just the parts of corporate, banking, and govt that do anything but mostly the secretaries who are in those buildings to give smiles and blowjobs and the blacks who are in there to cover for the jew.
Is this really the most efficient way to organize society?
Highly doubt one factory of 30 workers is producing tires worth $8mn
Asher Young
So you think rubber is free eh?
And we live in a capitalist paradise with no taxes?
Mason Robinson
It's a huge fucking factory we don't make the tires, we just run the industrial robots that make the tires. We are paid $25 per hour because it is skilled work.
Robert Cruz
you forgot insurance, including workers comp, benefits that you are not applying to your payroll amount, payroll taxes R+D purchasing and maintaining new equipment trust me you aren't seeing the big picture t.factory owner
Michael Cox
I included raw materials cost of $500k
Noah Morales
Is it fair for the productive work to get less than 15% of proceeds?
Yes because you AGREED TO WORK FOR PEANUTS idiot. YOU. FUCKING. AGREED. TO. THE. TERMS. OF. EMPLOYMENT. A YOU PROBLEM.
I'd imagine the financing of the loan to have built the facility sucks up a lot of funds.
Also have to factor in the cost of head office, corporate, etc.
Ryan Ortiz
And maybe your smarter-than-you boss will regret ever telling his workers what he earns of them and ditch you all for another factory, where he does not make such a mistake for a second time.

do you plan to address any political points on this board for political discussion?
Michael Martinez
Poors are okay people, m8. I'm about a month out from a little poor girl. Pray for me.
is right. What you stated in your OP are your variable costs. You are not including the whole other half of the enterprise: Fixed Cost. Those robots you use for your tires are not free, they probably cost 20 times your salary each. The tires aren't spawning in your storage area by themselves, so you have to pay transport as well or have some kind of deal. The investors or people who made this business possible probably didn't have the $$$ to pay it upfront, so you also have to pay a debt with interests over a long period of time. I may be leaving out other stuff but another thing is, if rubber tires become obsolete tomorrow, you find another job while they get FUCKED on the debt and trying to start another business.
Easton Barnes
Don't like it then go off and start your own factory. No one is forcing you to be there or to work for them. Then when you start planning you'll realise their is so much you are missing.
Bentley Parker
This. I used to work in manufacturing and run a non-manufacturing business now. You think they get to keep 88 percent of sales as profit margin??? I can guarantee you no American manufacturer has a margin that high.
Look at your check and how much money the US Government steals from you. Then times that by 2 because your employer pays those same taxes again and you don't see them on your check. If you're pissed off take it up with Uncle Sam. Or go start a business yourself or just be grateful your job hasn't been sent to Mexico yet.
Kayden Hill
How much does he pay in taxes, how much does he pay for employee health insurance, how much does the owner still owe for the cost of buying/building the factory or equipment or initial inventory bought on credit, how much does he pay every month in licensing/maintenance fees for equipment, how much has to be held in reserve in case of sudden loss, how much is the cost of transport/storage for the finished product, and on and on and on? You are a retard with a retard's level of understanding.

there's no reward you dumb commie, only supply and demand. If you ask for more money than most employers would pay you, then they'll hire somebody else for less. Same thing for everything. No want is overpaying for anything, because why should they?

RIsk your capital. Ask your company if you can buy stock in the company or buy somebody else's share to take on their risk. Then you too can scrape 3-15% profit of your captial annually off a 8 million dollar business.
Aiden Stewart
You are still not addressing the central point, which is that the productive work is being rewarded with 15% while 85% is going to non-productive work, which we can call rent-seeking of one kind or another.
I know that 85% is vanishing into the thin air that is corporate using one excuse or another. I don't need to be told that. I need an explanation on why YOU think this is a good idea for how to run an economy.
Don't tell me HOW IT IS tell me WHETHER YOU AGREE WITH IT you asshats.
Ayden Wright
This whole illusion comes crumbling down very very easily.
All I have to say is: So start your own factory if it's so profitable.
Then, if you take the suggestion seriously, immediately you are forced to recognize the folly of what you're saying.

You misunderstood though.... the 85% is going to fund the productive work that has already been done for you.
Loans are a way of stealing money from your own future earnings.

Evan Perry
>Do you think this is an efficient distribution of reward ?
Yes. People work there. They get paid. What the fuck is your problem you communist piece of shit.
>Is it fair for the productive work to get less than 15% of proceeds.
Yes you dumb fuck. The "workers" bear no risk if the business fails. They can simply move on to another job. The owner(s) of the business could be ruined.
>Where is the other $7 million going?
None of your fucking business. Did you provide the initial capital to start the business? No. You are an under educated laborer.
>It is going to corporate, banking and to government.
People who manage and market the selling of tires, loaned the money to start the business, and build the roads and other public infrastructure to allow for the production and distribution of tires.
>Is this really the most efficient way to organize society?
Yes, yes it is you stupid fuck.
Alexander Carter
So do you guys defend big corporations/big government/big banking (they're all one beast) because you're paid to or are you literally doing it for free during your leisure time on a sunday?
maybe if you were an actual wheelright who forged iron bands and ran wood on a lathe to make spokes... maybe then youd have something to complain about
Isaac Price
>defend big corporations ... no we just understand how money works
"value" is not tied to "labor" when you're using a fucking robot

Are you seriously bitching about making 50k/year playing Homer Simpson? Count yoursef lucky.
Of course it isn't fair, but republicans only care about MBA holding greedy faggots, so what can you do? *hint*: don't vote republican, ever
Liam Brooks
No it's a major corporation.
Liam Long
ya... its like trying to insist people in the outback should live the same way people in Siberia live
Eli Gonzalez
Probably closer to 5% is going to non productive work. Just because you don't interact with people who take the remaining 80% doesn't mean its just going into one or a handful of pockets.
Caleb Reed
And some people are niggers and females and spics so I imagine you have to punish humans because subhumans are born retarded
Some people are not meant to be rich or are not capable of being rich. Equitable allocation of resources is not natural. Antarctica doesn't have a rain forest for a fuckin' reason.
Parker Gonzalez
And you’re sure just your location does 8 mil a month? I mean that’s certainly possible but you guys are doing some bank out of that location. I mean that’s some serious money with just 30 employees. And you said tire factory right? So it’s manufacturing and distributing?
Robert Gonzalez
You are a major communist faggot
Aaron Cooper
>don't explain it to me just say yes or no And this is why you should stick to what you know best, as a machine operator and not an owner actually running the business. If you cannot bother to make a strategical decision, you shouldn't ask questions you don't even bother thinking about.
To be quite frank, the machines you operate everyday worths and costs more than you.
Carson Peterson
>Except that some people start life with Capital The overwhelming majority of businesses, including most very successful ones, are created or expanded by taking loans in one form or another. The idea that only people who already have capital can start a business is retarded and not true in the slightest.
I call bullshit. There were 314.4 million tires shipped in 2016. That's about 26.2 million per month. Are we really supposed to believe that your one factor with 30 employees is supplying 30% of all tires in the US? This is all made up.
Benjamin Rodriguez
I didn't say tires I said dollars you redneck
Bentley Jackson
this
>Total US tire shipments were nearly 310 million units in 2014, according to the Rubber Manufacturers Association.
If this was even remotely true, and your boss was taking a profit of 7/8 of revenue, you can bet your ass the competitors would start undercutting your company's prices, putting you guys out of business. Of course, this is mostly bullshit and you are just stirring up the pot.
Landon Turner
You negotiate your salary. Don't like it go somewhere else or better yet, if it is so simple, open your own tire factory. But your numbers are way fucking off so I assume you have no clue. I am guessing at the end of the day, tires may be a 3-5% margin business.
Luis Cooper
Good luck finding a new job. If I found out that my people were planning a union I would shit can every one of them on the spot.
Julian Gomez
well if nepotism stops you it's because you're not really part of the group anyway? happens a lot in immigrant-settled countries that everyone just expects there to be a "boss class" and a "worker class" but reality is much simpler: stop being dumb

Jacob Wood
>fair the owner of the company is smarter than all the workers together and if it wasnt for him they would be starving right now, workers signed a contract that say they would be paid X and they are getting X. What the owner gets is none of their bussiness If they are all dat they can fuck off and create their own company, no one is stopping them but their lack of education.
Start your own business then you degenerate piece of shit. Oh wait, that's why you're a commie, cause you are a life long loser faggot with no skills or ambition. Do the entire world a favor and kill yourself

The other seven million is going to all the middle class investors with a 401k or anyone investing into the stocks on their own.
They forget that they buy the bosses tools, not their own.
Liam Campbell
>Where is the other $7 million going? Payroll expenses are probably 25-50% higher than you've estimated. There may also be loans on the factory robots that you're unaware of, that are costing a substantial amount of money.
Then there is bookkeeping, accounting, and lawyers. This is productive work, just a different type. It's a necessary specialized work to keep the business running so that you can do the work you do.
You are right that a substantial amount of money is wasted on diversity nonsense and compliance with counterproductive overregulation, but not 80% of the money.
Xavier Perez
you asked them for the job and they told you what it pays. if you don't like it go start your own tire company

If that's after taxes that means you're making around $32/hour. Which means your gross is around $66,500/year. Not bad for factory work.
Kayden Green
You are assuming 85% gross margin while leaving out a lot of expenses. It is more likely 50-60% which is normal for manufacturing
Alexander Martin
Go ahead and you start and run your own company and report back. I'll have many questions for you buddeh.

shoulda negotiated better. before i retired, i wouldn't get out of bed for less than $50 an hour. i was good enough that i got that plus more usually.
in reality, the owner gives himself a salary and the company get a salary, which is all of the profit. if the owner takes from the top the company won't last long.
Evan Turner
I believe that's how most businesses are run. Employee salary account for 70% (easily) of all expenses.
I worked in an biochemistry lab in academia and that's definitely how it was
