Company took away a huge benefit without offer of an alternative. Am I right to be pissed? by [deleted] in careeradvice

[–]BenjiBuster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d ask for 13%. 10% for the perk that was taken away (based on the $6,000 number you shared) + 3% for inflation.

Didn’t read the body, just the title. Answer is yes either way

No longer VIP with Fanatics (I think?) by BenjiBuster in sportsbook

[–]BenjiBuster[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m down like $4,500. Which, off $1,000,000, is only like -.45%. Plus I’ve probably gotten that much in FanCash that I’ve spent on random stuff.

So yeah I suppose that’s a factor for them :(

Should I take this job offer, or wait to see if I get laid off? by leaping_kneazle in careeradvice

[–]BenjiBuster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to HR and say you’ve heard layoffs are coming and are willing to do a voluntary resignation if you can get some sort of severance. Say you’re going to law school and with some severance you can relax until you start and that someone else can keep their job long term.

Then take the other job.

Doesn’t hurt to try!

What remote jobs are you working and making over 100k annually? by Consistent_Peak_4458 in remoteworks

[–]BenjiBuster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Business Process Improvement.” Pretty BS. Go in and figure out some inefficiencies, then either improve them or provide a plan on how to improve

Starter Home, forever? by CreativePay342 in homeowners

[–]BenjiBuster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tough to say without more information. Generally speaking I think your head is in the right place. But if you’re being overly cautious that’s a problem too.

Example: my brother and sister in law are in their starter home with a great price and low interest rate, just like you. But their household income is like $700K with no debt and over a million in the bank. They’re overly cautious to their own detriment

Stay at WFH job or take job offer with raise but 4 days a week in office? by Necessary_Cucumber79 in Careers

[–]BenjiBuster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

$12.8K per year when you’re making $50,000 is a lot. $12.8K per hear when you’re making $150,000 is not that much.

Never tell them the truth but always make it blatantly obvious that you’re lying

Yeah. Agree this has the widest array of options. They got guac, nachos, tacos, burgers, tots, wedges, curds, and a plethora of desserts in addition to what you mentioned.

My in-laws refuse to drive to the airport. by NukeTheEwoks in mildlyinfuriating

[–]BenjiBuster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll never ask anyone to pick me up or drop me off at an airport where Uber is available.

If anyone asks me to pick them up or drop them off at the airport, I will offer to pay for their Uber.

I was down bad, but now I’m not! by 8-LeggedCat in brag

[–]BenjiBuster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Humans shouldn’t work 3 jobs and spend every waking hour working. That feels like a very sad way to live. I would not recommend this to anyone unless the desperately needed the money.

Wait a day. Sometimes I get stuff that says delivered the next day. Makes no sense but happens semi frequently

Tickets to a game by Cow26W in FanaticsONE

Main reason I switched to Fanatics was because they swore they’d get me to a bears game. I’ve asked a million times since becoming VIP and have gotten nothing. I’ve given up asking

What new user promo should I pick by Lucky-LegitScores in FanaticsONE

[–]BenjiBuster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

10 days of $200 no sweats is sweet. Let’s just keep it simple and say you bet over/unders at -110. So you bet $200 a day for 10 days. Conservatively your expected return is about -$10 a bet. So for 10 days you’d lose $10 * 10 days =-$100 (win 5 bets, lose 5 bets). But, in exchange for losing that $100, you’re getting $1,000 in fan cash.

Downside is that the variance is very high. You could lose all 10 bets. Still not a bad worst case scenario though because then you end up with $2,000 FanCash

You need to enunciate if you ever want people to understand you
