| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2]: Walmart and Sam's Club have started using "Performance Improvement Plans" too. | Jul 20 06:42 |
| IsambardPrince | It's a code for "We want rid of this person and this phrase makes it look like we're helping them avoid what's coming." | Jul 20 06:42 |
| IsambardPrince | If your boss comes out and says you're on a Performance Improvement Plan, don't sass them or they'll probably fire you right now. | Jul 20 06:43 |

| IsambardPrince | It's a form of debt that doesn't check much except if you're over 18, have a phone number and a bank account. | Jul 20 06:44 |
| IsambardPrince | They pitch it as 0% interest pay in four plans. | Jul 20 06:44 |
| IsambardPrince | Then to the merchants they use figures like "We help you steer the customer to 40% higher checkout totals." | Jul 20 06:45 |
| IsambardPrince | Retailers pay them about 3-5% of the size of the plan because they know it gets people to spend more money than they want to. | Jul 20 06:45 |
| IsambardPrince | 0% interest isn't a favor, it's a sales tool. | Jul 20 06:46 |
| IsambardPrince | It's designed to overcome consumer objections to paying too much and to increase impulse purchases and basket sizes. | Jul 20 06:46 |

| IsambardPrince | I went to a mattress store and they offered 0% through Wells Fargo. Well, what's the harm? | Jul 20 06:46 |
| IsambardPrince | Turns out that it's a credit card. | Jul 20 06:47 |
| IsambardPrince | You open a credit card with WF, it's an open loop visa that has HassleLess Mattress's logo on it. | Jul 20 06:47 |
| IsambardPrince | They put the mattress through at 0%, but on a promo. | Jul 20 06:47 |
| IsambardPrince | The contract says you can split that mattress into 4-5 years of payments, at 0%, but if you pay late one time, you get a late payment fee, and it turns out that interest was being deferred. | Jul 20 06:48 |
| IsambardPrince | And at that point it all gets added back. | Jul 20 06:48 |
| *kolie2 has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) | Jul 20 06:48 | |
| IsambardPrince | It turns out the credit card has an interest rate of 28.99%. | Jul 20 06:49 |
| IsambardPrince | I said "How odd that 0% interest would have a 28.99% interest rate. What's that for? | Jul 20 06:49 |
| IsambardPrince | So I kept reading and that's what it's for. | Jul 20 06:49 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | Asking for truth and acting on what you hear back are two separate things. The management at IBM (including the board of directors) appear to be only interested in filling their pockets, and not doing the job they were put in place to do. They get paid a lot for doing very little and attending a few meetings a year.
