I’m inclined to believe it’s honest. Someone probably read the first article then decided to google IKEA.
They do sketchy stuff by registering the parent company as a non-profit though, don’t they?
Edit: can’t find a good source but it sounds like the tax evasion may have (at least partially) ended
It also gives a very positive spin to Ingvar Kamprad who was a literal Nazi sympathiser/fascist during WWII, friends with Swedish fascist Per Engdahl and recruiter for the Swedish Socialist Movement (the SSS).
That article makes it sound like the plan to avoid taxes had ended (or was ending at that point). Here’s a slightly newer source: https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSKBN1WM0PS/
Sounds like they did end up paying back at least some of what they owed
Thanks!
Of course it’s astroturfing. Who the fuck would post this on /r/nottheonion? And who the fuck would upvote it?
It's oniony because most companies just whine that nobody wants to work any more instead of actually addressing the problem.
It's absolutely something The Onion would post.
Riches shout, wealth whispers. Does not surprise me at all to see some folks that achieve billionaire status basically just trying to live as normal, only with the ungodly large number following them around to presumably be exclusively used as a family trust upon the original mogul's passing.
I fly coach too
You're halfway to being a billionaire!
That looks like my app 🥹
Can definitely tell on the haircut part
The flexible hours and paid childcare are probably the biggest part of the solution. Throwing money at people doesn't necessarily make them happier, and in fact may demotivate them, but those two items are big.
(If you don't believe the "demotivate" part, this is one of the most eye-opening videos I've seen on any subject.)
Demotivation maybe after the needs are met and exceeded. The "money doesn't make you happy" is bullshit until you have enough not to live in fear over how to keep supporting you and your family. But I agree, those two things are big factors. That and respect.
