  • Yes, but I’m saying the algorithm for layoffs factors in “performance”, which can be factored from past bonus allocations.

    The algorithm isn’t going to lay off 150’s, but might preferentially select 100’s.

    I don’t have inside info, I’m just making assumptions that the data has to come from somewhere.

    Does this mean the other products they ship aren’t hit with tariffs? Are they somehow wholly made in the US vs the ones that were dropped?

    Edit: found my own answer:

    “We priced our laptops when tariffs on imports from Taiwan were 0%. At a 10% tariff, we would have to sell the lowest-end SKUs at a loss.”

    How often does this happen? What is it costing your friends? Are they sneaking it to you? Are they the purveyor of the establishment?

    In any case, if you were only going to spend $5, you don’t have to accept the full $20 worth of food/drink. You could say, “oh I was only planning on spending around $5 tonight, this is too much, but thanks.” Or if the somewhat direct approach feels awkward, max out your tip at what you were originally going to spend. If it’s not enough, they’ll stop giving you so much.
