    Using a job offer as leverage for higher pay

    Posted: 05 Nov 2019 07:15 PM PST

    I'm not sure if this is the right place for this, but I have questions about using a job offer as leverage for higher pay in your current position. Is this a common/ethical thing to do?

    My boss is looking to hire someone for our team, and one of my friends applied for the position. My boss is planning on offering him the job, and I found out that he's not actually interested in the job, and is planning to use the job offer to get higher pay at his job. This seems super shady to me, and I was thinking about telling my boss so he can offer the job to someone who's actually interested.

    Thoughts??

    What if I paid full for any phone of you’re choice?

    Posted: 05 Nov 2019 05:59 PM PST

    So I'm thinking one day, what If I started a company(or pitched the idea to Google) that basically pays full prices for any phone of you're choice in exchange for you watching two 30 second ads followed with 5 quick questions for one calendar year. Would you accept the offer?

    The fine print You don't actually own the phone until after the year. The company either buys the phone or has an agreement with the carriers. Failure to complete the agreement results in you either returning the phone back and paying a $50 restocking fee plus any damages, or you pay for it outright, maybe you get a discount say 30% off. After a year the phone is yours. You still have to buy and pay for a phone plan with a carrier to have service.

    The ads are tailored based on your online behavior and interests. This works better if the company doing this is say Google or Facebook. The ad either starts when you power on your phone, try to unlock it, or you can open the app to complete it proactively. The ad is most likely a video ad, with an option to skip/end after 30 seconds, similar to YouTube. After the ad, you'll be asked very quick questions about it. 1 - Name of the company/product 2 - company/product description/category 3 - did you like the video/product 4 - would you buy/recommend to your friends 5 - was this relevant to you? If you are interested in the content presented in the ad, you can click it to learn more or buy xyz.

    Revenue The revenue model is pretty straight forward. We have a total 730 ads in only one year. We must cover the price of the phone and make money. The idea is to charge advertisers a huge premium since we're guaranteeing you're attention and feedback. For example $20 CPC (cost per click), $10 CPM (cost per million impressions), with a 2% royalty on anything the user purchases.

    The revenue could be hard but I think it's doable. Many phones cost about $1,000. You only need a handful of clicks to breakeven. The gross revenue target should be $3,000 per device.

    Partnerships. Because we would theoretically become the reason people upgrade their phones, this should give us enough bargaining power with phone makers and carriers to give us discounts. So the iPhone X at retail may cost $1,300 but we would only pay $900 for it. With apple transition into services and subscriptions, I could see them discounting the phone to us while maintaining high prices. Carriers would be incentives to offer us discounts because it gives them greater opportunities to sell you accessories and phone plans such as unlimited, headphones, insurance, etc. Maybe phone carriers such as T-Mobile kick back $2 from whatever you're paying for your phone plan for a year or 5% whatever you buy while upgrading phones.

    What do you all think? Could this actually work? It's really expensive, I know.

    Would Conflict Of Personal Interests Stop You Doing Business With Someone?

    Posted: 05 Nov 2019 03:27 PM PST

    Just a random thought I had spring to mind today.

    This could be absolutely anything at all such as supporting different football teams, political views etc. I know if you believe strongly or passionately enough about something and someone says something against it things can quickly get heated....but could you put that to one side and do business with them?

    How do I start to go up against a monopoly?

    Posted: 05 Nov 2019 04:49 PM PST

    I'm thinking of trying to start a small vending machine business. But all the near by municipalities are run by one business and they have contracts with all the schools. Also the ones that aren't run by the monopoly are internally ran by the host business.

    How should I start?
