Advocates call on Hochul to sign non-compete bill

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:30:06 GMT

ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10)--From fast food workers to medical professionals, non-compete agreements impact a wide variety of industries. At a press conference on Tuesday, Senator Sean Ryan said most workers don’t realize they sign them."But even if they do realize it, there is no ability to negotiate. It’s either you sign it or you don’t get the job," said Ryan.According to Ryan, these types of agreements make it hard for employees to leave their jobs for better opportunities elsewhere."So the worker is left with only bad decisions—you can pack up and move to a different geographic area, you can find a brand new job in a brand new field, or you can just stay with the current employer."Advocates say this leads to wage suppression and prevents competition, creating higher costs for consumers. However, the Business Council argues this bill will ultimately hurt the economy if it gets signed into law."When you impose a piece of legislation like this, you make it very difficult for some indust...

How to lose millions on all-you-can-eat shrimp

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:30:06 GMT

You can't fault Red Lobster for trying.The restaurant chain thought it hit on a great idea to get people through the door -- all-you-can-eat shrimp for just $20.It worked. Lots of people showed up and they ate lots of shrimp.And Red Lobster ended up reporting a quarterly loss of $11 million. For the full year, the company expects a loss of about $20 million.Ouch.Ludovic Regis Henri Garnier, chief financial officer of Red Lobster's parent company, Thai Union Group, told investors on an earnings call that things didn't play out as planned."We wanted to boost our traffic and it didn't work," he said.Garnier said Red Lobster needs to be "much more careful" in setting prices for endless shrimp.What's that mean? It means your meal of never-ending shrimp will no longer cost $20. Now it'll run $25.Which doesn't sound like a profit center, but at least it will likely mean fewer losses.
