    Private equity sounds like a mechanism that extracts the most amount of value from a business, and transfers that wealth to the few general partners.
    Everyone loses - the business, the employees, the local consumers, the tax payers.... except for the general partners

      @tahirisaid2693 Před 23 dny +2

      The people you’re claiming don’t benefit wouldn’t have benefited with or without the private equity buyout. The business was failing before private equity came in, they just more efficiently manage the end of the companies life. Most likely allowing most companies to work there longer than they would have been able to do before.

    • @YanBrassard
      @YanBrassard Před 2 měsíci

      You guys were wondering what I'm doing for work. I'm a pension administration employee in an insurance company. I spend most of my days investigating problems and analyzing death claims for annuity group policies. I'm not really passionate about what i'm doing (my background is in political science) but I'm not complaining because I have a stable permanent job in a business division in important growth (aging population) and I can manage my time the way I want. I also work remotely and I can go work in a coffee shop if I have no meeting. I can do some overtime but very rarely. It used to be a nightmare a few years ago when I was also taking inbound calls from annuitants who were always calling to complaint about where's their money. I was on the brink of a burnout. But I am not facing the client anymore, I'm just analyzing claims and doing more complex tasks while listening to music with my headphones (and I used to do overtime + following a tight call center schedule + not being able to work from a coffee shop). All things considered, I can't complaint even if yes, I am tired of work after 4:30pm. It's the closest to my dream job considering that without my call center experience in an insurance company and the support of a cool manager who always trusted me and offered me training sessions with specialists to eventually get out of the call center and become a full time analyst, I would never be doing this.
