Hasan Piker

I stopped watching Hasan Piker's YouTube channel regularly for the same reason I don't consistently watch The Minority Report with Sam Seder, namely both tend to bring terrible people and the things they say and do to the fore, but – as far as I can tell – don't do anything at all about stopping whomever from saying or doing terrible things.

What I'm commenting on is the weird echo chamber between Left-wing commentators and the Right where each feed off each other for profit, views, clicks and whatever while nothing at all changes – except typically for the worse – for regular people.

By which I mean, I don't need to know every terrible thing Tim Pool or Tucker Carlson says because they're terrible people, though essentially promoting what they do – though admittedly though a differently-tinted lens – doesn't help either.

Tim Pool is such a weak motherfucker. He’s saying he hopes Hasan is ok after threats of self harm?

Hasan supports killing small children - in the womb and outside of it. He supports an economy that will choke out single mothers and poor people. He supports rapists and thieves instead of armed Americans.

Personally I hope he does an incredible amount of self harm, because he speaks to a massive audience about trying to destroy modern civilization. So if he killed himself the world would objectively be a better place.

Tim Pool is one of the biggest pussies in media today. He’s waking up so slowly to what’s going on around him.

Saw someone claim that most if not all anti-capitalist movements are actually funded by either one of the three corporations that own everything, or by the government directly (on behalf of said corporations), and that they're responsible for things such as people believing we should hand the government more power (read: I don't think people should starve to death on the streets in the world's richest and most powerful nation), or that libertarian is synonymous with pedophile. And I think this is very funny for a couple of reasons.

First of all, I think the implication here is that those filthy anti-capitalists are actually on the corporate payroll while us noble and inscrutable defenders of capital do it from the bottom of our hearts, which absolutely isn't the case. Generally speaking, there is no money to be found on the left. The money you do get there is like, donations to individual lefty streamers, tv shows or other media that are progressive and also popular, or political campaigns that people donate to and sometimes someone with deep pockets donates to them. Of the three I listed, one of them is political campaigns that go towards a specific cause or candidate (conservatives will lie to you and say that these all just go to lining some politician's pocket and are scams but that is because they are politically illiterate and hate you), one of them is >be in Hollywood, and one of them is Hasan Piker Bought A Car with money he got in perhaps the most ethical way it's possible to get money. With the exception of the second one, these are all pretty grassroots. Meanwhile conservatives will consistently make bank with no effort. Steven Crowder has no charismatic skills whatsoever and can't even pretend he doesn't hate black people and his recent spat with the Daily Wire has revealed that he's been propped up by millionaire sponsors like Cary Katz his entire life. Speaking of, Gina Carano did nothing exceptional except make an unfunny pronouns joke right after her co-actor's sister came out and then compared being a conservative to being a Jew in Nazi Germany and Ben Shapiro immediately offered her a position at the Daily Wire. Tim Pool owns a fucking underground bunker. Not to mention Prager University being funded by the Wilks brothers and a bunch of other oligarchs, which explains why they'll have occasional episodes talking about how fracking is actually the most environmentally friendly thing in the world in between praising Robert E Lee for stopping a slave rebellion or something. In general, people grift left (when they do so at all) for the social clout which they don't even get half the time, and grift right for the money of which they will be given a disgusting amount of almost immediately.

The thing about the secret propaganda about libertarians being bad and also pedophiles is really funny though because it acts as though the only reason libertarians don't have any respect in the current political atmosphere is because they're secretly being kept down, man. When in reality the reason libertarians lack such a voice despite their loudness is because they're incoherent and unlikable. And I know this because the OP is a libertarian and the main crux of their post was that insulin is expensive because some rich douchebags got to it first, sold it for unreasonable prices, and then used that money to lobby the government into making it such that only they could sell insulin. Which I agree with, until they said that this was somehow anathema to capitalism, because "no interference no regulation invisible hand only final destination, survival of the fittest if you can't handle the heat stay out of the kitchen, money equals power, the result that reveals itself is the optimal result" as an ideology is wholesome and consistent and American until it has demonstrably awful negative effects on the world at which point it stops being capitalism and becomes a scarier word, thus allowing me to condemn people getting randomly shot while still advocating for pointing guns at people for no reason and pulling the trigger as though my existence and dignity both depended upon it.

How Brand Prestige Effects Employee Retention

Introduction

Hiring and training a new employee costs the brand both time and money. For that reason, human resource managers must find a candidate that not only possesses the necessary skills and knowledge but who will be successful and will be a loyal worker.

What factors influence where a person decides to submit a job application? What determines whether one brand appears more desirable than others? What attributes do elite brands possess? How do brands attract highly desireable job applicants? How do brands maintain desireable employees?

The purpose of this essay is to answer those questions by examining brand prestige, brand distinctiveness and brand trust and how each relates to identifying and retaining a talented workforce.

Brand Prestige

Job seekers assign human traits to brands. There are five human traits assigned to brands: competence, ruggedness, excitement, sincerity, and sophistication. Brands that are described as sophisticated are considered upper-class and prestigious (Lievens, van Hoye, & Schreurs, 2005).

The brand personality trait ‘prestige’ along with the traits ‘innovativeness’ and ‘competence’ might explain the incremental differences of functional job features namely advancement opportunities and salary Lievens, van Hoye, & Schreurs, 2005).

Brands assigned with high prestige, a high level of sophistication, and with the upper-class lifestyle are believed to provide employees with higher status (Lievens, van Hoye, & Schreurs, 2005).

Organizational prestige was reported by Hasan and Hussain (2015) to be an antecedent of employees’ organizational commitment. Perceived brand prestige reflects the social value that employees have of their employer’s identity.

A firm’s competitive edge is augmented by its brand prestige (Mignonac, Herrbach, & Guerrero, 2006).  Choi, Ok, and Hyun (2011) examined the effects of brand experience and brand personality on brand prestige, and the effects of brand prestige on brand loyalty.

Data analysis revealed that brand prestige is both directly and positively affected by experience and brand personality (the group of human attributes connected to a particular brand).

Tournament Rituals

Tournament rituals that define this type of competition as a process that distributes organizational prestige and creates a means to rank inter-organizational brands (Petterson, Cavazos, & Washington, 2014).

Rituals operate for social integration that promotes the transfer of shared meaning. Tournament rituals authenticate the legitimacy of its participants. The brands that enter these tournament rituals do so to communicate values and reinforce brand status. These rituals function as a determiner of the worthiness of its competitors and activities.

Despite competitive mechanisms that should allow a change in the ranking, the status system sustains brands at the apex of the prestige pyramid. The brands at the apex garner more visibility and their behaviors are universally considered elite thereby reinforcing the status order which serves as a stabilizing mechanism (Cialdini et al., 1976).

Employee Branding

The concept of branding applied to HRM is called company branding (EB) (Backhaus & Tikoo, 2004). In 2015, Wahba and Elmanadily reported a strong connection between EB and HRM, that EB is increasing, and that companies are allocating branding efforts to attract and retain employees.

Businesses use EB to attract potential employees that will best contribute to the organization’s strategic goals (Martin et al., 2011). Tim Abler and Simon Barrow were the first to coin EB as a way of melding human resource activities and branding strategies (Barrow & Mosley, 2005).

Employer branding defined by Ambler and Barrow (1996) is the result of economic, psychological and functional benefits offered by the company, and associated with the organization.

In HRM, EB is a tool that communicates the company’s employee benefits (Ambler & Barrow, 1996). There are several definitions of employer branding. Armstrong (1996) explained EB is the creation of an agency’s brand image for prospective employees.

That image is influenced by the agency’s reputation as a provider of services and the company’s overall reputation. Several years later, Sullivan (2004) defined employer branding as the long-term strategy to regulate employee perceptions and to make stakeholders and potential employees aware of a particular firm.

Along with benefits, a firm’s reputation plays an important role in attracting and retaining employees. There are three dimensions of Cable and Turban’s (2001) framework of employer familiarity also described as the job seeker’s level of company awareness.

The first two dimensions are not relevant to the present endeavor. However, the third dimension addresses the employer’s reputation which is also viewed as the company’s public evaluation.

Job seekers may describe one potential employer as trendy but another employer as prestigious. This dimension describes the firm using intangible, abstract, and subjective adjectives (Lievens, van Hoye, & Schreurs, 2005).

Additionally, those dimensions communicate symbolic information about the company through a form of imagery that the applicant assigns to the potential employer (Lievens, van Hoye, & Schreurs, 2005).

Fombrun and Shanley (1990) discussed the combined judgments of the multiple stakeholders on how well a business fulfills their expectations over time determines its corporate reputation (as cited in Cable & Turban, 2003).

Research shows that a company’s PEP has a direct impact on an employee’s intentions to quit (Herrbach, Mignonac, & Gatignon, 2004, as cited in Alniacik, Cigerim, Akcin, & Bayram, 2011). Businesses with favorable reputations draw a larger high-quality applicant pool (Cable & Turban, 2003).

Benefits gained from having prestige stem from broader perceptions that working for a particular firm is viewed quite favorably (Lievens, Van Hoye and Schreurs, 2005).

In 2011, Alniacik, Cigerim, Akcin, and Bayram explored the independent and joint effects of a firm’s perceived reputation, employee affective commitment, and job satisfaction on employee turnover intentions.

After analyzing the data, the research team learned that organization reputation is positively correlated with organizational commitment and job satisfaction. Additionally, there is a negative correlation between a firm’s reputation and employee turnover intent (Alniacik, Cigerim, Akein, and Bayram, 2011).

Corporate social responsibility augments an employer’s brand prestige and its brand distinctiveness resulting in greater perceived attractiveness as an employer (Pérez & del Bosque, 2015). In 2016, Balaji, Roy, and Sadeque explored the role of university brand prestige in developing students’ identification with the university.

The results observed suggest that universities should actively engage in branding activities such as improving the university’s internal awareness and deliver the university’s core brand message to enrolled students. Doing so will foster a strong student-university identity to amplify students’ behaviors that support the university.

In addition, the university’s brand prestige played a central part in determining student-university identity. Students’ identified with the university more when their perceptions of the university were more attractive (favorable). As a result, the students will adopt the goals, values, and identities of their university. One of the six University Brand Personality scales was brand prestige.

There are other brand personality scales available but they do not include prestige among their traits (Rauschnabel, Krey, Babin, & Ivens, 2016).

In 2012, Stokburger-Sauer, Ratneshwar, and Sen examined the idea of consumer-brand identification. Their research revealed that brand prestige was one of three cognitive antecedents of consumer-brand identification.

The researchers concluded that identification with a brand is linked to the extent of which a person perceives the brand to be prestigious. Prestigious firms are seen as being important (Smidts et al., 2001). Employees of prestigious employers carry a sense of pride in being a part of that brand.

Also, prestige promotes brand identification (Rampl & Kenning, 2014). The overall actions of an employer collectively operate that that brand’s perceived external prestige. Unlike economic prestige, social prestige concerns the distinguishing qualities that set one brand apart from its competitors (Carmeli, 2005).

In an effort to bridge two lines of research that were evolving independently, Lievens, van Hoye, and Anseel, 2007 used the instrumental-symbolic framework to study factors relating to both employer image and organizational identity of the Belgian Army.

Data analysis revealed that both instrumental and symbolic perceived image dimensions were predictors of how individual’s perceived attraction to the Army. Additionally, the symbolic identity of the Belgian Army was the best predictor of employees’ identification with the Army. The authors concluded that employees also attached importance to civilian perceptions of the Belgian Army.

Closing Thoughts

In summary, brand prestige bestows elite status on a company thereby making it more desirable than its competition. Participation in tournament rituals and heritage are two ways that brands acquire elite status.

Several factors impact how attractive a particular brand is and retains a dedicated and hardworking staff.  Those factors include the internal branding that communicates employee benefits it offers, the internal and external ways the company presents itself as a desirable and distinct employer, and the company’s actions that show corporate social responsibility to enhance its prestige as an employer of choice.

The Tim Pool daily show has become utter garbage. Just media drama and a bunch of hard right wing takes. It used to be much more news and much less commentary. I think he should retire the daily show, find a new host for IRL and go really hard in to documentary filming. He’s spent like three days talking about that commie faggot Hasan Piker.

Michael Moore and Al Gore have had an incredible amount of influence with my generation. Even fake bullshit they made up in their movies is believed as holy gospel by a bunch of millennials. I used to listen to 1 or 2 daily segments and then the IRL podcast at night, but it’s just getting really stupid.
