Business Microsoft adopts 'hybrid workplace' that will let more employees work from home permanently

Is it a good idea to mix two services in one business together like for pressure washing washing a person house and or garage and side walk and for law care cut the grass and trim the bushes or no?

Do distribution/marketing channels only involve the places where a company sells its products or also where/how it promotes them/makes people become exposed to it?

Seeking Advice to Partnering Up

Posted: 11 Oct 2020 07:01 PM PDT

I'm a software engineer with a stable career, and I'd like to cofound a business venture again. I got screwed out of everything in company I helped start, and I'd like to avoid that again. What should I look out for and expect when considering a business venture with some one else? What kind of contractual agreement should I ask for up-front? What should I be looking for as a "good deal" in terms of an equity stake as a cofounder who is the tech leader? What kinds of things should I look out for?

Any recommended resources or books would be great.

What businesses have a lot of disorganized data?

Posted: 11 Oct 2020 08:42 AM PDT

At my old job, it seemed like every few weeks I'd have a new project with a new dataset in a different data source. The hardest part of my job was understanding the data not completing the project. I built a software platform to solve this problem, and now I'm trying to decide what markets to target.

Currently, we have a few non-profits and research projects using the tool to organize their meta data. I'm curious if anyone has suggestions for additional businesses or industries to target?

For businesses owners here of any kind, restaurants, bars, retail, parks (theme parks and otherwise), theatres, gyms, salons and others, what has helped you in terms of getting through the restrictions and/or finding ways to deal with losses?

Posted: 11 Oct 2020 09:28 AM PDT

I am wondering since it seems the majority of businesses that aren't chains aren't seeing any proper compensation, any deserved support and won't come back in any capacity.

By all accounts, it seems major chains are gonna have relatively little trouble relative to locally owned places that have much more passion behind them and function as families. Those working for corporations that are truly selling out workers and/or are unable to provide any real resistance to the shutdowns, ex Disney and Regal, are a different issue entirely. But one crisis at a time.

So for those on here, what has worked to ensure you stay functional? Are there ways you have been able to function with customers and perhaps become proof that it can be done?

Have you along with your communities, possibly with legal teams or advocates of some other kind, been able to ensure that local, state and federal gov't provide some sort of compensation for losses?

Would be great to hear of any positive stories, even knowing that it will come in the midst of businesses that won't return in previous form.

J.P. Morgan Chase Is Being Subsidized By The Government.

Posted: 11 Oct 2020 01:34 PM PDT

In the 2nd quarter of 2020, JPM shocked the market by posting record trading revenue. Yes, record, like never before had the bank ever posted that much revenue from trading in its entire operating history!

Way to go JP!!

But in the midst of a global pandemic and an economic shutdown of the likes the world had never seen, how is it even possible for any company, in any sector for that matter, to be breaking performance records? 2nd quarter 2020 was quite literally the worst GDP quarter in American history, and up to 95% of the country was under some form of a lockdown order. At the time, analysts were even going so far as to compare the unemployment rate to what was seen during not just the Great Recession, but the Great Depression itself!

How is that possible?!

Well, JPM isn't just your average company. They enjoy a unique, and exclusive relationship with the FRBNY, where, in addition to the right to borrow exorbitant sums of money at bargain level interest rates that practically nobody else has access to, the mega-bank also gets to act as the second largest shareholder of its respective district bank, giving the bank direct influence over who sits on the board of its federal reserve branch, which in the case of JPM, is the FRBNY, the largest CB branch in America, representing 55% of all CB banking assets in the country! Read more

But here's an even better question, one that most people are probably secretly wondering to themselves, but few usually care enough ask..

Is this even fair?

Technically those profits were the direct result of unprecedented central bank stimulus programs, so why should JPM's shareholders be allowed to collect such massive government subsidized profit without being obligated to give any of this money back? $14 billion is a huge sum of money to be making while the rest of the world suffers. Shouldn't there be some kind of cap, or limit put into place for situations just like this? It's not they're doing anything spectacular with these government subsidized profits anyways, evidenced in a recent report from Bloomberg which showed that starting in 2017, the 4 largest banks returned $1.26 to shareholders over a period of 3 years for every $1.00 that they earned in net income — either in the form of share buybacks or dividends.

The federal reserve act requires that excess profits earned through the collection of interest on loans are to be returned back to the federal government, so maybe it's time that we start applying a similar approach to these mega-banks, and finally begin forcing these TBTF financial institutions to share some of these monstrous profits with the general public.

Is that really so much to ask at this point?

On top of all of this, lawsuits have even revealed that in addition to being granted the right to collect such mind-boggling government subsidized profits without having to give any of this money back, these massive corporations are also working together behind closed doors under the guise of front organizations for the purpose of conspiring to block competition. Yes, they will even go so far as to band together to block companies from accessing key financial services — the very same financial services that are technically only available through them..

Yes, so even if you do — somehow, someway — manage to get your foot in the door at this exclusive, secret club, apparently it doesn't even matter what you have to offer sometimes, because they may just wake up on the wrong side of the bed one day and just decide to block you anyways!!

Go figure!

But of course, if it ever comes to the point where one of these massive, gov subsidized multi-national banking organizations believes that it is more profitable to simply rip you off rather than do their jobs and take actual risk, have fun trying to sue them for the damages. Just ask $COOP investors how long they've been waiting on their settlement. Or better yet, the teams of high powered lawyers that allegedly meet in secret on an annualized basis to devise schemes so they can combat all of the pissed off companies and people that are constantly filing lawsuits against them!

Yes, they get together in secret — their lawyers — so you can rest assured that the chances of you being treated fairly are most likely slim to none, especially if you happen to be unfortunate enough to be one of their customers, because if that's the case, then expect to be automatically stripped of the right to a fair trial, forced into mandatory arbitration, and assessed by FINRA — the self-regulator that they openly admit to owning and controlling.

You can't make this stuff up!!

One could even go so far as to argue that it is these very relationships that are providing the foundation for the alarming gap between the rich and the poor in the United States. If a small handful of entrenched financial institutions can just simply, at the wave of a wand, subsidize their margins, and their losses, at what point do they cease to be simply 'private corporations', and more like extensions of government.

Pyramid scheme??

Posted: 11 Oct 2020 10:36 AM PDT

Cash app has a feature where you can refer a friend to use the app and you both get $10. There's no limit on how many people you can do this with. Is this a pyramid scheme? If I did this with a bunch of people would that get me in trouble?

Advice for Patents for Apps

Posted: 11 Oct 2020 09:26 AM PDT

I have an idea for an app, but I am not a developer. What are the patent requirements? Can I just conceptualize the design and framework, and then explain the logic of how it would work? Or does the app have to be functional before I file for a patent?

Do you think sharing your business' bad reviews with your employees is a good idea?

Posted: 11 Oct 2020 08:44 AM PDT

I am a Client Relations Specialist and I have a board celebrating my staff in the break area for the positive reviews they receive. Now the owner wants me to start putting all the bad reviews as well. I do not like that idea. Around 20% of our reviews are negative, but at least 90% of those negative reviews are over exaggerations and angry clients who did not get what they wanted. I think we should put the negative reviews where we are obviously in the wrong, but not the ones where the clients are looking to bash us because they didn't get their way do not belong on there.

I care deeply for my staff and I don't know how this will affect them. How should I go about sharing negative reviews with my staff? Will doing this just create a negative environment?
