Just don't start a thread asking which side your ball should hang on your Santa hat.
I am still here! I don't really post a lot but like most of us, have to have my daily dose of Free Republic.
Having worked in a company acquired by the Loral empire I have a view of how things work in the acquired property. The huge, multi-billion dollar Loral company was run out of an office in New York that had, if I recall, about ten people in it. Loral made no effort to interfere in or run our business. They simply said, “send us x dollars every quarter.” How that was done was up to the people running the acquired company.
If Loral had attempted to meddle in the actual running of the company from that distant headquarters it most likely would have resulted in chaos. As an example, I once worked for Allied Stores, which was run from an office in Atlanta. Allied owned hundreds of stores all over the United States. They attempted to control them all from the central office. One of the things they did was decide when the stores would switch from winter to summer air-conditioning settings. These were literally controlled by a switch in the power room labeled, “Summer/Winter.” A memo would go out from Atlanta to switch from Summer to Winter and all stores would do it. I would arrive at my store in Tampa where the temperature was an astonishing ninety five degrees in the store. The store traffic would drop to almost zero. There was no way I was going to put up with working four hours in ninety five degrees so I’d go up to the power room and switch the switch back to turn on the air conditioning. It was obvious I’d done it, but nobody ever said anything. When the temperature was right in Tampa, I’d switch it back. One day I got a call from the head cashier. This was unusual and she was whispering. She had arranged to have me work somebody’s hours that night. I asked why and she whispered, “Just get in here and reset the dammed switch!”
Allied stores went out of business, and deservedly so. Every year, their location in Key West was stocked up in snow shovels and heavy winter clothes. Idiots...
I suppose most of us have unknowingly “hired” illegals along the way, via subcontractors. It happens, especially if we’re in a distant location and don’t control or notice who shows up to push a broom at a job site.
We’ve built in CA. It would surprise me if some of the contractors and subs HADN’T hired illegals.
isn’t it the job of the career sourcing agency to make connections with potential businesses who will likely have job openings periodically? they should be contacting the resorts often saying we got greta people to hire. Otherwise they are not doing a good job in trying to get their applicants jobs.
It’s not on Trump to seek out their career center. where is their eagerness to do a good job? that’s what Trump looks for when hiring and this center’s weakness is likely what Trump sees and bypasses them. The job applicants looking for work would do better to apply to Trump resort directly.
At the Compassionate level, there is no difference. Compassion obscures any difference
Snow shovels are good for moving mulch in Florida. ;)
He played the game. Now it’s tome to end it. I don’t care what he did before as long he fixes it going forward.
Troll? Lol. That is used to much. Nick is not a troll.
This story has been thrown around before. I recall it from more than a year ago during the campaign. 1,000 visa applications for workers over a decade or more is a tiny number for the "Trump companies", whose employees number in the thousands (don't know a total figure).
Just one more example of the MSM, fake news, taking a small bit of information and twisting it into a highly negative, greatly exaggerated and intentionally misleading story about Trump.
And he is not entitled to change his opinion and position on the immigration issue? Remember who he was working for back then...his family and shareholders. Now he's working for all Americans, and acting appropriately.
I know, sometimes real life puts constraints on posting time, but allows us to read...at least the headlines.
And as I said up thread, sometimes its just easier to pay a fine than fight it; so he did.
Exactly.
