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.

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.
