Hmmmm, I think I’m filing that anecdote under “that happened”
Since when do CEOs bother to explain shit to their staff, especially if it’s suspiciously made up exclusively of conservative Trumpers, let alone giving them an ad hoc class on international economics, I can’t even see a CEO putting that shit in a company-wide email
Also a fuckin year’s worth of product? I don’t think so buddy, the multibillion dollar company I work for has only ever planned two weeks (at best) ahead in terms of inventory stocking and that policy didn’t budge even during covid, but a “small manufacturing company” has the margins and capital to just eat a whole years worth of expenses and debt?
This seems like something liberals really WANT to believe is happening, lmao
The company I was working for back in 2018 canceled Christmas bonuses. The only time they ever did so in their 40+ year history. Other than some bullshit platitudes from upper management about how everyone in the company has to make sacrifices that year, it was never explicitly said why. Some of us suspected it had to do with the tariffs at the time, since we import a lot of steel.
This, however, seems a bit too on the nose. I feel like management would never come out and straight up blame the tariffs like they are here.

This whole post is the most
shit ever.
This won’t connect with 98% of people who have ever done serious wage work and can see right through the propaganda

Depends on the size of the company, I guess an owner-operator/owner manager would be a “CEO” even if that’s not really a thing with smaller companies.
Plus it’s not like they need an excuse to cut bonuses
Yeah, this seems made up.
On a different note, why would it matter if the manufacturing company payed the tariff? They’d still just crank up the price
EDIT: Also, also I love how smug liberals are explaining to the unenlightened how tariffs work, when Biden instituted some yuge ones himself.
I think the whole
is a pretty good argument for your case there
