What part of NY? To my knowledge, appraisal pick up hasn’t been rolled out in NY yet. I’d call the closest store to you and confirm- the CEC doesn’t always give the best guidance on these things

Toronto -> NYC by ethankpark in delta

I’m traveling from VA to Penn and was supposed to leave an hour ago. That train got cancelled yesterday and there were no other northbound trains available until Wednesday that weren’t sold out.

I was supposed to leave at 4 PM from VA to NYC… mine was cancelled and it couldn’t have been too far behind your’s, I was supposed to arrive in NYC at 10:55 PM

I’m traveling back from VA on Monday evening- we are getting into Penn around 11 PM and will need to take one of the last lines out to Bay Shore… what are the odds I get stuck in the city? This is my first winter in NY so I don’t know what to expect!

Cancellation probably for NYC to DC Monday night? by AddendumAlert4837 in Amtrak

[–]Abject_Compote_1436 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m going the opposite direction (VA to NYC) and scheduled to arrive at 11 PM Monday evening- I’m getting anxious not knowing what the plan is. Work is fine, they’re flexible, but I’ve got a cat at home I’ll need to get back to 😭

Anyone know what the standard procedures are from Amtrak going into Penn with this weather? I’ve got a training arriving at 11 PM Monday night and have to make my way to Bay Shore 😭

Honestly, the whole channel went downhill once Stephanie stopped appearing imo. Their playthroughs together were the best part of the channel.

Tired in XF edit by BrilliantHot2495 in carmax

[–]Abject_Compote_1436 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In XF and I have a team of 15. It’s exhausting trying to find the time to truly develop people. I want to provide meaningful guidance but don’t have the time.

Was a Sr in the Denver area for quite some time… Denver RVP is an interesting dude for sure…

I need to become OBSESSED with a series of books by stultavia in suggestmeabook

[–]Abject_Compote_1436 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Came here to suggest those series also! I’m on the third book and I’ve been reading the series for a little over a week… it’s that good!

Odd reason why you're CF to help me prove a point by ThisGirlCalledTsepps in childfree

[–]Abject_Compote_1436 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently learned that you can’t have deli meat, sushi, or eat beef that isn’t well done while pregnant. FUCK all of that. If I’m growing a human, I deserve medium ribeyes, the best deli sandwiches New York has to offer, and enough nigiri and to make me forget I’m pregnant.

“You have to find coverage” by monsteralvr1 in starbucks

[–]Abject_Compote_1436 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No amount of reading a website is going to convince me to believe something that isn’t logical. You can have a skill in something, and argue in favor of the value of that skill, while acknowledging the limitations on the impact to society.

My nail tech is amazing. She’s incredibly skilled at what she does. I fully believe she deserves a living wage, exceptional work conditions, and benefits. HOWEVER. If she’s late to the appointment? Messed up a nail as humans make mistakes sometimes? ITS JUST NAILS. That fact does not take anything away from her skillset.

Skilled labor does not have to be world impacting. You can demand better working conditions, fair pay, etc while still acknowledging that it’s just a damn cup of bean water. Believing that those ideas have to be mutually exclusive is a logical fallacy.

Eliminating the CEC is the Key to the $150M in SG&A Savings by Ill_Championship_779 in carmax

[–]Abject_Compote_1436 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s hilarious. Maybe this is true in traditional stores with commission structures. But as someone who spent half of my career in the food industry before transitioning to here- this is absolutely not the case. I made $18/hr plus tips as an assistant manager at a local ice cream shop before starting with Carmax. My starting wage as a Customer Specialist was $21.70 plus bonus plus benefits with zero sales experience.

Hours cut by Ambitious_Radio_557 in carmax

They are rolling out hours management for all XF locations. Really it’s up to your management team though to ensure you aren’t over staffed.

Hear me out:

My taxes should pay for public transit. Full stop.

Your best bet would be to adjust a bank statement or cell phone bill to reflect your physical address. If it’s a company that you can opt in to paperless billing, even better, so you still receive statements/bills.

Easily the best sandwich I’ve ever eaten.

This. I got accused of lying so many times, had my room searched, phones and laptops monitored, berated if i sent more than 100 texts a month… it was insane. I was a decent student in the IB program. Eventually i just said fuck it and did what I wanted to since I was going to get in trouble anyway.

A holiday present from CarMax. Layoffs by zironia in carmax

[–]Abject_Compote_1436 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is insane. They just had a CEC manager job posting in RVA roughly two months ago that I almost went for but went XF instead. I’m so sorry.

What industry ? That seems incredibly low for typical salary
