Precaratize bosses
Tumblr media
I'm touring my new, nationally bestselling novel The Bezzle! Catch me SUNDAY (Apr 21) in TORINO, then Marin County (Apr 27), Winnipeg (May 2), Calgary (May 3), Vancouver (May 4), and beyond!
Tumblr media
Combine Angelou's "When someone shows you who they are, believe them" with the truism that in politics, "every accusation is a confession" and you get: "Every time someone accuses you of a vice, they're showing you who they are and you should believe them."
Let's talk about some of those accusations. Remember the moral panic over the CARES Act covid stimulus checks? Hyperventilating mouthpieces for the ruling class were on every cable network, complaining that "no one wants to work anymore." The barely-submerged subtext was their belief that the only reason people show up for work is that they're afraid of losing everything – their homes, their kids, the groceries in their fridge.
This isn't a new development. Back when Clinton destroyed welfare, his justification was that "handouts" make workers lazy. The way to goad workers off their sofas (and the welfare rolls) and into jobs was to instill fear in them:
https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2018/03/welfare-childhood/555119/
This is also the firm belief of tech bosses: for them, mass tech layoffs are great news, because they terrorize the workers you don't fire, so that they'll be "extremely hardcore" and put in as many extra hours as the company demands, without even requiring any extra pay in return:
https://fortune.com/2022/10/06/elon-musk-jason-calacanis-return-to-office-gentlemens-layoffs-twitter/
Now, there's an obvious answer to the problem of no one taking a job at the wage being offered: just increase the offer. Capitalists claim to understand this. Uber will tell you that surge pricing "incentivizes drivers" to take to the streets by offering them more money to drive during busy times:
https://www.uber.com/blog/austin/providing-rides-when-they-are-most-needed/
(Note that while Uber once handed the lion's share of surge price premiums to drivers, these days, Uber just keeps the money, because they've entered the enshittification stage where drivers are so scared of being blacklisted that Uber can push them around instead of dangling carrots.)
(Also note that this logic completely fails when it comes to other businesses, like Wendy's, who briefly promised surge-priced hamburgers during busy times, but without even the pretense that the surge premium would be used to pay additional workers to rush to the restaurant and increase the capacity:)
https://www.theguardian.com/food/2024/feb/27/wendys-dynamic-surge-pricing
So bosses knew how to address their worker shortage: higher wages. You know: supply and demand. For bosses, the issue wasn't supply, it was price. A worker who earns $10/hour but makes the company $20 profit every hour is splitting the surplus 50:50 with their employer. The employer has overheads (rent on the shop, inventory, advertising and administration) that they have to pay out of their end of that surplus. But workers also have overheads: commuting costs, child-care, a professional wardrobe, and other expenses the worker incurs just so they can make money for their boss.
There's no iron law of economics that says the worker/boss split should be 50/50. Depending on the bargaining power of workers and their bosses, that split can move around a lot. Think of McDonald's and Walmart workers who work for wildly profitable corporate empires, but are so badly paid that they have to rely on food stamps. The split there is more like 10/90, in the boss's favor.
The pandemic changed the bargaining power. Sure, workers got a small cushion from stimulus checks, but they also benefited from changes in the fundamentals of the labor market. For example, millions of boomers just noped out of their jobs, forever, unwilling to risk catching a fatal illness and furious to realize that their bosses viewed that as an acceptable risk.
Bosses' willingness to risk their workers' lives backfired in another way: killing hundreds of thousands of workers and permanently disabling millions more. Combine the boomer exodus with the workers who sickened or died, and there's just fewer workers to go around, and so now those workers enjoy more bargaining power. They can demand a better split: say, 75/25, in their favor.
Remember the 2015 American Airlines strike, where pilots and flight attendants got a raise? The eminently guillotineable Citibank analyst Kevin Crissey declared: "This is frustrating. Labor is being paid first again. Shareholders get leftovers":
https://www.thestreet.com/investing/american-airlines-flight-attendants-bash-citi-analyst-who-put-shareholders-before-workers-14134309
Now, obviously, the corporation doesn't want to offer a greater share of its surplus to its workforce, but it certainly can do so. The more it pays its workers, the less profitable it will be, but that's capitalism, right? Corporations try to become as profitable as they can be, but they can't just decree that their workers must work for whatever pay they want to offer (that's serfdom).
Companies also don't get to dictate that we must buy their goods at whatever price they set (the would be a planned economy, not a market economy). There's no law that says that when the cost of making something goes up, its price should go up, too. A business that spends $10 to make a widget you pay $15 for has a $5 margin to play with. If the business's costs go up to $11, they can still charge $15 and take $1 less in profits. Or they can raise the price to $15.50 and split the difference.
But when businesses don't face competition, they can make you eat their increased costs. Take Verizon. They made $79b in profit last year, and also just imposed a $4/month service charge on their mobile customers due to "rising operational costs":
https://www.reddit.com/r/LateStageCapitalism/comments/1c53c4p/79bn_in_profits_last_year_but_you_need_an_extra/
Now, Verizon is very possibly lying about these rising costs. Excuseflation is rampant and rising, as one CEO told his investors, when the news is full of inflation-talk, "it’s an opportunity to increase the prices without getting a whole bunch of complaining from the customers":
https://pluralistic.net/2023/03/11/price-over-volume/#pepsi-pricing-power
But even stipulating that Verizon is telling the truth about these "rising costs," why should we eat those costs? There's $79b worth of surplus between Verizon's operating costs and its gross revenue. Why not take it out of Verizon's bottom line?
For 40 years, neoliberal economists have emphasized our role as "consumers" (as though consumers weren't also workers!). This let them play us off against one-another: "Sure, you don't want the person who rings up your groceries to get evicted because they can't pay their rent, but do you care about it enough to pay an extra nickel for these eggs?"
But again, there's no obvious reason why you should pay that extra nickel. If you have the buying power to hold prices down, and workers have the labor power to keep wages up, then the business has to absorb that nickel. We can have a world where workers can pay their rent and you can afford your groceries.
So how do we get bosses to agree to take less so we can have more? They've told us how: for bosses, the thing that motivates workers to show up for shitty jobs is fear – fear of losing their homes, fear of going hungry.
When your boss says, "If you don't want to do this job for minimum wage, there's someone else who will," they're telling you that the way to get a raise out of them is to engineer things so that you can say, "If you don't want to pay me a living wage for this job, there's someone else who will."
Their accusation – that you only give someone else a fair shake when you're afraid of losing out – is a confession: to get them to give you a fair shake, we have to make them afraid. They're showing us who they are, and we should believe them.
In her Daily Show appearance, FTC chair Lina Khan quipped that monopolies are too big to care:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaDTiWaYfcM
Philosophers of capitalism are forever praising its ability to transform greed into public benefit. As Adam Smith put it, "It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker, that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest." The desire to make as much money as possible, on its own, doesn't produce our dinner, but when the butcher, the brewer and the baker are afraid that you will take your labor or your wallet elsewhere, they pay more and charge less.
Capitalists don't want market economies, where they have to compete with one another, eroding their margins and profits – they want a planned economy, like Amazon, where Party Secretary Bezos and his commissars tell merchants what they can sell and tell us what we must pay:
https://pluralistic.net/2024/03/01/managerial-discretion/#junk-fees
Capitalists don't want free labor, where they have to compete with rival capitalists to bid on their workers' labor – they want noncompetes, bondage fees, and "training repayment agreement provisions" (TRAPs) that force their workers to stay in dead-end jobs rather than shopping for a better wage:
\https://pluralistic.net/2022/08/04/its-a-trap/#a-little-on-the-nose
Capitalists hate capitalism, because capitalism only works if the capitalists are in a constant state of terror inspired by the knowledge that tomorrow, someone smarter could come along and open a better business, poaching their customers and workers, and putting the capitalist on the breadline.
https://pluralistic.net/2024/04/18/in-extremis-veritas/#the-winnah
Being in a constant precarious state makes people lose their minds, and capitalists know it. That's why they work so hard to precaratize the rest of us, saddling us with health debt, education debt, housing debt, stagnating wages and rising prices. It's not just because that makes them more money in the short term from our interest payments and penalties. It's because it de-risks their lives: monopolies and cartels can pass on any extra costs to consumers, who'll eat shit and take it:
https://pluralistic.net/2022/02/02/its-the-economy-stupid/#overinflated
A workforce that goes to bed every night worrying about making the rent is a workforce that put in unpaid overtime and thank you for it.
Capitalists hate capitalism. You know who didn't hate capitalism? Karl Marx and Freidrich Engels. The first chapter of The Communist Manifesto is just these two guys totally geeking out about how much cool stuff we get when capitalists are afraid and therefore productive:
https://pluralistic.net/SpectreHaunting
But when capitalists escape their fears, the alchemical reaction that converts greed to prosperity fizzles, leaving nothing behind but greed and its handmaiden, enshittification. Google search is in the toilet, getting worse every year, but rather than taking reduced margins and spending more fighting spam, the company did a $80b stock-buyback and fired 12,000 skilled technologists, rather than using that 80 bil to pay their wages for the next twenty-seven years:
https://pluralistic.net/2024/02/21/im-feeling-unlucky/#not-up-to-the-task
Monopoly apologists like to argue that monopolists can rake in the giant profits necessary to fund big, ambitious projects the produce better products at lower prices and make us all better off. But even if monopolists can spend their monopoly windfalls on big, ambitious projects, they don't. Why would they?
If you're Google, you can either spend tens of billions on R&D to keep up with spam and SEO scumbags, or you can spend less money buying the default search spot on every platform, so no one ever tries another search engine and switches:
https://pluralistic.net/2024/04/04/teach-me-how-to-shruggie/#kagi
Compared to its monopoly earnings, the tech sector's R&D spending is infinitesimal:
https://pluralistic.net/2020/08/11/nor-glom-of-nit/#capitalists-hate-competition
How do we get capitalists to work harder to make their workers and customers better off? Capitalists tell us how, every day. We need to make them afraid.

Ennui - 2
ennui /ɒnˈwiː/ n. a gripping listlessness or melancholy caused by boredom; depression.
Somewhere overhead, a Wingull cried.
Flocks of the small white birds circled above, visible in the gaps of sky that Flint could glimpse from below the walkways.
He would have denied the accusation, once, but Flint suspected that he was becoming sentimental. Not that he couldn’t appreciate the rest of Sinnoh’s beaches—all glittering water and long, uninterrupted stretches of sand—but Sunyshore’s geography really was a sight unparalleled. The tidepools and stark, jagged rocks that dominated the southeastern coasts were rather breathtaking.
Bone-breaking, too. Flint paused to watch as another wave slammed into the cliffs, sending up a spray of brine.
The area was signposted, although that did little to deter the locals from training here. The hospital and Pokémon Center were something of a revolving door for the idiots that persisted.
Flint still had the scars to prove it.
Another patch of shadow fell over him as he passed under the skywalk. The bulk of the foot traffic was confined to the actual modules, since the infrastructure was nearly as much of a tourist attraction as the lighthouse and markets were. Any other time, he would have taken the paths on the upper level.
Flint lingered under the bridge, waiting until the group above him passed, before he resumed.
Avoiding crowds was something of a necessity this time around. Regrettably, his presence also counted as a tourist attraction, and anonymity was hard to come by.
Not that he was complaining, but…
As Flint neared one of the support columns, he came to a stop.
…he had a job to do.
The technicians repairing the module hadn’t noticed him yet. They were preoccupied with installing the new panel into the frame, as a Machoke steadied it for them. Another crew member was doing something with the inverter mounted to the column—rewiring, by the looks of it. Flint had never been tech savvy, and he wasn’t about to start pretending now.
It would have been an otherwise mundane sight, if he didn’t have context for it.
“Routine maintenance?” The technician glanced up as Flint approached.
“I wish.” He wiped the sweat from his brow. “It’d be easier if we gutted it and just replaced the whole thing, but management wants us to try and salvage it first.”
“How bad is the damage?”
The technician scowled at the inverter. “Bad enough that I’m going to be at this for the next five hours.”
Flint leaned against the column. “The solar grid can’t handle a blackout?” he asked.
“It can. There are redundancies in place for that sort of thing.” The technician popped open another panel, and peered at the cables running through it. “But repeated stress wears the entire system down. It wasn’t built with consecutive power failures in mind.”
“‘Consecutive’?” Flint straightened. “I thought it was just one outage.”
“You must be from outta town.” The technician didn’t bother looking his way. “That’s the third blackout this month.”
Flint would have been lying if he said he wasn’t nervous, as he stood before the Gym doors.
Outwardly, the building looked no different than it did since his last visit. Nothing to suggest that it had been the culprit behind the power failure.
One of several power failures, apparently.
Not for the first time, he would have appreciated a hint. Something, at least, to help make sense of what he was walking into. The better part of his flight yesterday had been spent perseverating over a reason, and after nine hours, he’d ruled out everything practical. Flint finally gave up around the time sleep deprivation was starting to kick in, and he’d begun entertaining the idea of elaborate Rube Goldberg machines, or enthusiastic raves.
Flint sighed.
He was stalling, and he knew it.
With little enthusiasm, he moved past the sliding doors, and stepped inside.
His first, incorrect impression—as the doors shut behind him, and he froze on the lobby threshold—was that he’d entered the wrong building.
It was still, for all intents and purposes, a Gym. But not one he recognized. The reception area looked like it had been given a recent facelift. “Expensive-looking” was the first thought that came to mind, but “upgraded” was probably more accurate.
Volkner’s handiwork, no doubt.
The receptionist glanced up from the monitor as he neared the desk. “Good afternoon, and welcome to the Sunyshore Gym.”
“Afternoon.” Flint inclined his head. “I’m here to see Leader Volkner.”
“Do you have an appointment scheduled with him today?”
“Last-second visit, I’m afraid.”
The receptionist furrowed her brow. “I’m very sorry, sir, but any meetings or battles with the Gym leader are through prior booking.”
New hire, if Flint had to assume. Usually his reputation preceded him with most Gym crowds.
“That won’t be a problem.” He reached into his back pocket, and held out his license. The receptionist accepted it with an expression that looked no less skeptical than it had a second ago. “I try not to drop in unannounced, but it’s a long flight between here and the League.”
The words registered at the same time she read the name printed on the card. Her eyes widened a fraction, before darting back up to him.
He smiled, not without a hint of amusement. “Any chance I could have a chat with him?”
Strangely, the request seemed to put her on edge. She returned his license, but didn’t quite meet his gaze. “Of course.” She stepped out from behind the desk. “If you’ll follow me…”
It wasn’t a particularly long walk, but it was informative. The overall layout of the building was still familiar, but as Flint was lead down the hall, he spotted more evidence of renovations. Machinery, for the most part. A classroom with its door ajar held something that resembled a scaled-down version of a PC terminal. Elsewhere, they passed a room which emitted a soft, ambient hum.
If the change in scenery was unsettling, it paled next to the reception from the Gym staff. Flint recognized a handful of the resident trainers, though when he waved, they didn’t return the gesture. The tension was palpable, and it followed in his wake.
He wasn’t left with much time to dwell on that particular development, before the receptionist halted at the end of the corridor.
“He’s in here.” Again, she refused to look his way. “I’ll be at the front desk if you need anything.”
“It’s appreciated.”
The receptionist hesitated. She opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something else, before clearly deciding against it. Her footsteps echoed as she hurried back toward the reception area.
Well. No point in waiting.
Gingerly, he turned the handle, and let himself in.
It was a space that Flint was acquainted with, though—judging by the scattered tools—it looked like it had seen an uptick in recent use. Volkner’s workshop was something of a glorified janitor’s closet that he had commandeered shortly after his promotion to leader. No one had ever protested, since his side hobbies generally benefitted the Gym.
Though going by his staff’s newfound jumpiness, Flint wondered if that hadn’t changed.
It took a second to actually spot Volkner. Half of Volkner, technically. His torso was obscured beneath a rather menacing-looking generator.
“Jordan, pass me the solder.” His Raichu pawed through the toolkit as a burst of orange light illuminated the underside. “The silver-tin alloy, not the zinc.”
His pronged tail flicked in response.
Jordan emerged with the spool clutched in his paws. He went to hand it off to his trainer, only to freeze when he caught sight of Flint.
His eyes lit up, and his back legs braced.
With a muffled grunt Flint managed to catch him, before he could properly tackle him to the floor. The Raichu let out a soft, pleased noise as he tried to burrow his face into his shoulder.
At least someone was happy to see him.
Careful not to dislodge him (it was cute and all, but Jordan wasn’t a thirteen-pound Pikachu anymore), Flint plucked the solder from his hand, and crouched next to the generator. Evidently none the wiser, Volkner took the spool when Flint held it out.
“Thanks.”
“Don’t mention it,” said Flint.
There was a satisfying bang as Volkner smacked his head.
Something scuffed against the floor tile. Flint moved out of the way as the wheeled platform rolled back, and Volkner surfaced from underneath. He was sans his signature jacket and down to the black, sleeveless undershirt. It was impossible to make out his face beneath the welding mask, though by the way he scrubbed at his forehead, Flint could take a guess.
“Flint?” Volkner set the blowtorch down next to him. “What are you doing here?”
He rolled his eyes. “Nice to see you, too.”
Flint didn’t miss the huff under his breath. His hands skated up the back of his neck, as he undid the clasps, and slid the visor from his face.
If Flint felt tired, then Volkner looked exhausted.
There was a dark, discolored quality to his face, not helped in the least by how much thinner it was. His expression wavered between several different emotions—they passed too quickly for Flint to accurately gauge them—before settling on impassive.
Jordan squirmed in his arms, and Flint obligingly lowered him to the ground. He shoved his now-vacant hands in his pockets. “I see you’ve been redecorating.”
Volkner didn’t comment. Merely watched him through half-lidded eyes.
Flint nodded to the generator behind him. “Something extremely dangerous, I hope?”
That managed to elicit a reaction from him (even if it was mild exasperation). Volkner shucked off his welding gloves on a nearby cart, and stood. “Close,” he said. “It’s a docking station, of sorts. The prototype, at any rate.”
“What's it supposed to charge?”
“Electric-types.” Jordan’s ears folded back as Volkner rested a hand on his head, and lightly scratched. “Most species that are electrogenic aren’t actually immune to incoming charges. Only a handful of Pokémon can safely absorb them—Jolteon, Electivire…” He frowned. “I was trying to figure out how to replicate the effect, so it could be applied to other species. It could have possible electrotherapeutic benefits, too, but…” Volkner combed a hand through his hair. “Repairing this is going to take a while. It got fried during the power outage.”
“So I heard,” Flint said.
Volkner stiffened.
“I also heard that you were responsible for them. All three of them.” Some of the anger crept back into his voice, as Flint’s stare hardened. “You mind telling me what that’s about?”
Volkner seemed to be struggling for an immediate response. Eventually, his jaw snapped shut, and he bent to retrieve his tools. “I take it this isn’t a social visit.”
“Would you actually care if it was?” Flint asked. “I’d find that hard to believe, since you haven’t answered your damn phone in weeks.”
Jordan dutifully pitched in and began returning equipment to its rightful place. Volkner didn’t lift his head, as he continued to reorganize the toolkit. “Did the League send you? Or did you volunteer?”
It might have sounded accusatory, were it not for the flat tone.
“That’s not the point.” Flint watched as Volkner inspected a wire brush, and thumbed over the bristles. Flakes of rust drifted to the floor. He made a displeased sound in the back of his throat, before placing it in the container. “Your Gym knocked out the entire network.”
There was a subtle shift in his posture; a tightness that coiled in his spine. “That wasn’t intentional.”
“I’m sure that’s a real comfort to everyone who lost power.”
Volkner had the audacity to shrug.
An unpleasant burning sensation lodged itself firmly in his gut. Flint pressed a palm to his face and pinched the bridge of his nose, willing it to subside. The accompanying exhale didn’t help much. “If it were a one-off thing,” he muttered, “fine. But after a certain point, you must have realized there was a correlation. And that maybe it was time to call it quits.” Flint narrowed his eyes. “Since when are you this careless?”
Pride had always been one of Volkner’s touchier subjects. At minimum, Flint expected that comment to annoy him.
Volkner didn’t even react.
There was a chisel near his foot. Jordan went to reach for it, only to skitter backward as Flint stepped on it with his sandal. He scooped up the errant tool, inspecting it. “Is any of this actually necessary?” he asked.
His hands slowed. “…It’s useful,” he conceded.
“More useful than a working solar grid?”
Volkner’s reply was blunt. “Does this conversation have a point?”
Flint’s fingers dug into the chisel. He was half tempted to throw it at him. “You tell me.”
The floorspace had been marshaled back into some semblance of order. Nearly, anyway, Volkner was just now realizing, as he scanned the toolkit, and then the surrounding tiles. At last he glanced back over his shoulder, only to blink at the chisel still in Flint’s grip.
He stood, and held out a hand.
Flint absently continued to study it. “Improvements are nice and all, but they shouldn’t be coming at the expense of everything else. Surely, there’s a better way for you to be doing this.” He arched a brow, with an air of deliberate nonchalance. “Though for the life of me, I can’t figure out where you’re finding the free time to be doing all of these projects. You’d think being Gym leader would keep you busy.”
The silence was deafening.
A sudden, nagging suspicion began to creep in. Flint met his gaze, searching. “Volkner,” he said. “When was the last time you—”
“Excuse me? Volkner?”
The receptionist stood in the doorway, a clipboard tucked under her arm. Every word looked like it was being forcibly dragged out of her. “I’m sorry to interrupt, but—you have a battle scheduled with a challenger at three o’clock. You need to start getting ready.”
Volkner shut his eyes. “Did they clear their preliminary match?”
“They’re currently getting set up. Preston should be finished shortly.”
“Fine.” Volkner sighed. Though he directed his words at her, his eyes never once left Flint. “We’re done here, anyway. Have them meet me in the main arena in fifteen minutes.”
“Of course.”
The receptionist fled as quickly as professionalism would allow.
Volkner didn’t budge. He continued to regard Flint expectantly, the hand still hovering between them. His eyes narrowed.
With slightly more force than necessary, Flint slapped the chisel into his palm.
Volkner tossed it over his shoulder into the open toolkit, and left without another word.
Jordan started to bound after him, only to stop, and hover in the doorway. The Raichu’s tail curled around his back legs as his head sank between his shoulders. He fixed Flint with wet, black eyes, before—rather dejectedly—following on the heels of his trainer.
It took a minute before he finally forced himself to move. Stiffly, Flint exited the room, and headed back toward the lobby.
It was the first time he’d ever seen resignation on Volkner’s face.

When scaling user registrations, online SMS verification through virtual numbers offers businesses a streamlined solution to securely verify new accounts without needing physical infrastructure. By leveraging virtual numbers, companies can efficiently connect with global clients and launch targeted campaigns across different regions, overcoming common challenges like high costs and logistical limitations. Virtual phone numbers provide businesses with a cost-effective way to establish a local presence, enabling them to seamlessly build trust and engagement across borders. Visit SMSLive for further insights on virtual number solutions for businesses seeking secure account verification and expansion opportunities. What Are Virtual Phone Numbers? Virtual phone numbers operate over the internet rather than being tied to a physical location. This flexibility is made possible through VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) technology, which transmits calls over the Internet, allowing virtual numbers to work globally. Unlike traditional phone systems, virtual numbers don’t require physical infrastructure like cables or local lines, making them an attractive option for businesses seeking efficient and scalable communication. When customers dial a virtual number, the call is routed through the VoIP service provider, reaching devices such as smartphones, computers, or VoIP-enabled landlines. Virtual numbers are a powerful tool for businesses aiming to grow internationally while keeping operational costs low. 6 Ways A Virtual Phone Number Can Help Expand Your Business Here are six advantages of using virtual phone numbers, from establishing a local presence to boosting customer engagement, that can help businesses expand globally without needing physical offices. Local Presence in Multiple Locations Virtual phone numbers can give your business a “local” identity in multiple locations, which increases customer trust and engagement. Customers prefer interacting with local numbers, as they feel more comfortable contacting nearby businesses. By using virtual numbers tailored to different regions, companies can foster a sense of familiarity and loyalty among customers, even if they operate remotely. Cost-effective Scaling Expanding business operations can be costly, but virtual numbers offer a cost-effective alternative. Instead of investing in new office spaces or infrastructure, companies can set up virtual numbers on a single device and manage multiple numbers across different locations. This scalability reduces overhead costs and enables businesses to reach international markets without physical setups, saving time and resources while ensuring effective communication. This approach allows for a more flexible allocation of resources toward marketing, development, and customer support. Facilitate Remote Work In today’s digital workplace, virtual phone numbers facilitate remote work by enabling employees to connect from anywhere. This flexibility means teams can work collaboratively without being in the same office, which is particularly beneficial for global or distributed teams. By integrating virtual numbers into their communication system, businesses can support remote employees, improving productivity and expanding their hiring capabilities to a broader talent pool, ultimately creating a more robust, dynamic workforce. Identify Ideal Business Location Virtual phone numbers help businesses identify potential growth regions by analyzing call data from different numbers assigned to various campaigns. This data reveals where most customer interactions occur, allowing businesses to optimize their marketing efforts and pinpoint ideal markets. By understanding regional engagement patterns, companies can make more informed decisions on where to focus their expansion efforts, maximizing their impact and reach in the most responsive areas. Improve Business Credibility and Trust Building trust in new markets is essential for business expansion. Virtual numbers with local area codes create an impression of regional presence, which can increase customer confidence in the company’s reliability. This sense of proximity enhances credibility, making customers more likely to engage with the business. Virtual numbers help companies establish a robust and professional image in unfamiliar markets, reinforcing trust and fostering customer loyalty by providing accessible, reliable contact points. Increasing Customer Reach Using virtual numbers with local prefixes enables businesses to attract a broader customer base. Local customers often prefer to engage with nearby companies due to lower call costs and perceived accessibility. Virtual numbers make this possible by giving customers an affordable, convenient way to connect, which helps increase engagement and solidify brand presence in competitive regions. This strategy encourages sustained interaction with the business, expanding its reach and customer base. What Are Different Types of Virtual Numbers Available for Business? Virtual numbers come in various types, including local, toll-free, and vanity numbers, each tailored to different business needs and communication strategies. Local Virtual Phone Number Local numbers create a geographical identity, helping businesses appear local to specific areas. This familiarity boosts customer loyalty, as people often prefer dealing with companies they perceive as nearby. For businesses looking to establish strong customer relationships and increase engagement, local virtual numbers provide an effective solution to strengthen regional brand identity and customer trust. Toll-Free Virtual Phone Number Toll-free numbers let customers reach businesses at no cost, enhancing accessibility and supporting customer service efforts. Usually starting with prefixes like 800 or 888, these numbers eliminate cost barriers for customers, broadening the business’s reach and making communication easier. This cost-free access encourages more interactions, as clients know they can reach support or sales teams without incurring charges. Vanity Virtual Phone Number Vanity numbers are customized to spell words or memorable digit sequences that resonate with the brand, like 1-800-FLOWERS. They enhance brand recall, making it easier for customers to remember the business. These numbers are handy for promotional campaigns and can support branding efforts by providing a consistent, recognizable contact point across regions, strengthening the company’s identity and visibility. How To Get A Virtual Phone Number For Business? Obtaining a virtual phone number is straightforward and can be completed online.

Revolutionizing Cable Distribution with Overhead Spooling Machines
Cut-to-length wire and cable distributors cater to a diverse range of orders, from small requests to those involving hefty reels that complicate re-spooling. For larger reels, the conventional equipment often results in significant efficiency losses due to their size and weight. However, overhead, shaftless cable spooling machines emerge as a game-changing solution, streamlining the process and enhancing productivity while reducing the physical strain on operators. This innovative technology not only minimizes downtime but also optimizes handling and storage, making it an essential asset for distributors looking to improve their operational efficiency.
The innovative design of the Spool Winding Trolley from Lämneå Bruk exemplifies advancements in cable spooling. To fully appreciate its effectiveness, however, we first need to examine traditional wire spooling machines. These standard solutions often reveal inefficiencies in cable distribution, highlighting the need for improved methods that enhance productivity and streamline operations.
Conventional Wire Spooling Solutions
The take-up cable spooling machine market is primarily divided into two designs: shafted and shaftless.
Shafted reeling technology involves operators removing a take-up spool, typically made of wood, or a steel reel from storage and attaching it to the machine. This setup allows the spool to rotate with the help of a motor. The reel arm can lift the reel from the ground either manually with a jack or using powered lift controls.
Shaftless spooling machines use short pegs on adjustable pivot arms to hold reels, making it quicker and easier to attach them. Aside from this difference, they operate much like shafted machines. A motor turns the attachment point, which then rotates the reel.
Take-up machines come in various designs, including roll-through, gantry configurations, and single-sided models that need loading and unloading from the same side. Regardless of the design, they all share a common drawback: operators must manually bring the spool or reel to the machine and load it, which can be time-consuming.
Managing Cable Reels and Spools for Large Orders and High-Voltage Wires
High-voltage conductors need thicker insulation, so take-up reels and spools must be larger to store the same length compared to mid- and low-voltage cables. Even for smaller, low-voltage cables, large orders for installations often require bigger spools and reels.
These larger drums present two common material handling challenges: size and weight.
Reusable steel reels are even heavier and demand similar handling efforts to transport them to the spooling machine. When empty reels and spools are stored in racks or on A-frame pallet jacks, extra time is needed to remove them. If they are stacked in storage, retrieving them safely becomes even more challenging.
In summary, before filling an order, operators must complete several material handling tasks to safely prepare an empty high-capacity spool or reel:
Prepare and deploy material handling equipment, like forklifts with reel-handling attachments. 
Remove empty spools and reels from storage. 
Transport them to the spooling machine located elsewhere in the facility. 
Attach spools or reels to the shaft or shaftless arms of the spooling machines. 
Lift spools to enable smooth spinning.
After filling an order, users face the same material handling challenges in reverse, now with the added weight of the product. This multi-step process can lead to increased labor costs for cable distributors. Until recently, there were few alternatives for handling large cable orders, but traveling cable spooling machines with overhead engagement now offer a better solution.
Overhead Cable Spooling Trolleys with Top-Down Rollers
Transporting empty cable reels to spooling machines can be inefficient, but with effective rod preparation, the process becomes streamlined. Instead of moving reels, the innovative Spool Winding Trolley from allows staff to bring the spooling machine directly to the reels. This portable solution saves time and eliminates the need for specialized forklift attachments, enhancing efficiency in cable distribution. With its overhead rim drive, the Spool Winding Trolley simplifies adjustments and speeds up the spooling process.
Transforming Cable Spooling Processes with IIoT Innovations
Introducing the new SWT-IIoT model of Spool Winding Trolleys from our company equipped with a cutting-edge cloud software package that enhances Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) functionality. Operators can easily access orders through an intuitive touch screen human-machine interface (HMI). With robust connectivity to external cloud-based IIoT analytics systems, the length counter enables real-time tracking of inventory payout, empowering decision-makers with customized reporting to optimize operations continually. While traditional wire coiling equipment gets the job done, the advanced IIoT features and the innovative design of the Spool Winding Trolleys position them as the premier choice for cut-to-length cable order fulfillment in today’s market.
Conclusion
In conclusion, cut-to-length wire and cable distributors face challenges with large reels, but overhead, shaftless cable spooling machines offer a valuable solution. These machines improve efficiency, reduce operator strain, and optimize storage and handling, making them essential for enhancing operational productivity in the industry. The Spool Winding Trolley from Lämneå Bruk represents a significant leap forward in cable re-spooling technology. Addressing the inefficiencies of traditional spooling machines boosts productivity and streamlines operations. Embrace this innovative solution to transform your cable distribution process!
