Just got some shady insider info about my company and the tariffs...

It's a shoe company. The prices have raised $15-30 a pair. One of the big managers and I have become buddies, he's a cool guy, not like most bosses. He called to tell me that his higher up told him to tell employees and customers that rising costs are due to new technology, but admitted it's due to tariffs 😂

I'll admit, while I love seeing a corporation shaking in its boots a little, they're still freaking lying to people. It's political. It's a game.

And I'm supposed to lie to people and get bitched at? 😂

You get paid more to keep secrets. My boss is very anti trump though and he is running his mouth 😂 I love it. I thought I'd run my mouth too. We forget we are owned.

My son dropped me my shoes today just in time.
( i had a recent blow out in my work sneakers) he didn't know i had just bought a pair. These have a super cute Green Nike stripe, and way cheaper than i just paid for same pair with black stripe

👀 sorry. I got off topic. Me and shoes 🥴
@Bexsy you'd be dangerous working in a shoe store 😂
@MarbleMarvel you're so right 😂

And I'm sure all the other companies have tariffs on their shoes too, I still think it would make sense to tell the customers it's not your company being greedy. I think maybe everyone on the States is scared of their government now.
@JimboSaturn of course they're scared, that's how the game is played. The American government is run by an abuser. It's all been abusive. The class system is abusive these days because it's very out of balance. Greed is consuming us.

@JimboSaturn yup. It's always been that way.
Why do they want to lie about this? What's the point? Everyone knows about the tarrifs, it's a major story every day.
@robingoodfellow I think they're afraid to lose business anymore than the rising costs will cause. Their celebrity sponsors don't want that look. They don't want to be associated with passing it on to the customer. It's a big corporation, they lie about most things and don't seem to care if people know they're lying. Pretty weird.

Why is he lying about it? Blaming it on tariffs takes the blame off your company.
@JimboSaturn I think because it'll piss of the people who are against tariffs. They don't want to lose any business. They need people to keep buying their shoes. They have major celebrity sponsors who would rather avoid associations also. It's big business. They're going to do whatever they have to to not lose too many sales. As it's a pretty big increase in price, they're going to lose sales anyway.
