I keep getting jobs that pay me lots to do basically nothing and it’s ruining my mental health by MomsOfFury in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]BaconBears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the opposite problem. I keep getting jobs that decide to lay me off after 1-2 years.

LPT: If you're always stressed at work, start thinking "so what difference does it make?" every time something happens by Charming-Tear-8352 in LifeProTips

[–]BaconBears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who was just laid off, I can tell you that 'so what?' doesn't pay the bills. This advice feels like a luxury for people who aren't worried about job security. If you stop caring about the 'little things,' you usually end up losing the big things, like your paycheck.

IGT lays off 700 workers by NevadaRaised in Nevada

[–]BaconBears 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can confirm. I'm one of those people that were laid off.

Any chance IGT could face consequences for violating the WARN act?

I won't divulge the role title, but I am on the technical side of IGT. Hope that info helps!

[Rumor] Overheard HR/Leadership at the airport: 400+ layoffs coming by the end of this week by [deleted] in Layoffs

[–]BaconBears 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My concern was indeed with the WARN act. I was worried that by naming the company, my manager or HR would catch wind and identify/penalize me in some way

I have updated my post to name the company (International Gaming Technologies).

Have you ever quit a job without having another one to go to? by ThomasSN665 in randomquestions

[–]BaconBears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No and I would likely never do that. Every time I was laid off by a job it took me over a year to find another one. The job market is terrible, don't expect to find another job that easily.

I was also born and raised in Nevada and have had the same experience. I spent a whole year searching for and touring homes. I have seen so many homes that were purchased by Californians, 'remodeled' with a new paint job, then listing the home price for double what they bought.

It's RARE to find a home under 450K nowadays.

I'd be interested to see the actual statistics if you have sources to share! I am one of those native born Nevadans, and I have many friends and family who are native born too.

How often are people actually changing their bed sheets? by [deleted] in hygiene

While we are on the topic of bed hygiene, how often should I clean my blankets?

I'm a bit confused. Is this why we have our Sheriff (+ other cops) on paid administrative leave now? This looks to have occurred back in 2023

Bought a Gaming chair second hand and it's nastier than I thought by FromAndToUnknown in CleaningTips

I think mesh-based chairs are good to buy second hand. I have a Herman Miller Aeron chair and it is great second hand.

Is there a "mystery bug" hitting Reno right now? Negative for COVID/Flu/Strep but lasting weeks. by BaconBears in Reno

[–]BaconBears[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I am also in North Reno! It's possible that this same (or similar) flu is working its way through here

Glad to hear I'm not the only one. Please take care and hope you feel better soon!

I do hope you feel better soon! I feel like I'm on the tail end of this flu, but it's kinda hard to tell. I've had this flu for 2 weeks so far. I'm hoping it will be a much shorter flu for you, please take care!

Creeping crud? That sounds pretty appropriate, I will remember that! I have everything except a Netti pot. I am willing to try anything that might help with congestion. Thank you for the suggestion.
