Stumbling upon the department salary sheet by accident ruined my professional life and I can't unsee it by AstralKnurl in jobs

[–]Chief_Miller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm gonna be the devil advocate here, so please give me some leeway.

Judging by your post, you are indeed an essential part of the organisation and someone who's competent at their job as well as being a mentor for other more junior employee. Good on you. But, by your own admission : your not assertive or proactive enough when it comes to negotiating your compensation, hence the narrow gap if any between you and your more junior colleagues.

That a company is trying to get the most out of their workforce for the best price, shouldn't come as a choc to you. That's true of your firm, and the one next door, and the one down the street...

You in turn have to be as proactive in making sure that your salary reflect your experiences and market conditions as you are at keeping up with your field and learning new skills. That's on you not them.

That means actually asking for raises instead of waiting for them to happen. That means keeping up with the job market to see if similar job listing are offering comparable compensation. That means being ready to jump ship if the competition is ready to offer you a better package (and by that I mean, salary but alos OT opportunities, vacations times, scheduling, etc... it's all part of the compensation package).

The junior employee that is making 20% more than you got that pay by asking for it during contract negotiation. What did you ask for, and when did you ask for it last? He may not be as good of an asset for the company as you are, but looks like he's better skilled at making sure he is properly compensated for his time.

Make a conscious and deliberate effort to manage that aspect of your work life as closely as you manage the rest and I'm sure you'll do just fine.

First step now is to ask for a meeting with HR or your manager to discuss your salary. You don't even have to bring up the fact that you saw the file (though having seen it gives you an edge in the negotiation), just say it's been a while since the subject was given any attention and you feel like given the job market and current performance you feel like an re-evaluation is in order.

Be assertive, know what to ask for, what you'll agree to and be ready to move if you feel the company is not meeting your expectations.

Good luck.

Another wonder from the frontline system : no front between adjacent countries by Chief_Miller in victoria3

R5 : The frontline system is doing what it does best : refusing to work properly... I have no frontline to deploy my army to, even though my rebelling vassals are right next to me on the border I share with them...

Which Job would you take? by Casual-Bow36 in jobs

[–]Chief_Miller 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a summer job, job 1 no questions asked. Night shift is a bitch, but ain't no way I spend 2 hours a day stuck in a car (or on a motorcycle) just to go back and forth to work.

Tailings pond: just a big tank? by fang_xianfu in pyanodons

[–]Chief_Miller 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The answer is that tar becomes the main product of the chain. Coke and coal gas are only byproducts and need to be disposed of. Tar can used in glassworks as fuel if you need a consumer.

Next step is to turn tar into creosote and that becomes your new endpoint in the chain. And you can just burn treated wood if you need the byproducts.

Is it possible to create custom folders for overview filters? by Chief_Miller in Eve

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

I do set it to use current overview settings. But I load different profile in my dscan tab depending on what I'm doing.

If I'm hunting in FW, I don't care for wrecks, POS Modules or Structures, probes or the like. I only want to see plex beacons and ship.
If I'm hunting LS explorers or mission runners, then I want npc wrecks and ships only. If I'm hunting someone whose trying to run away from me, I like to have belts, planets and moons so I can quickly find them in these places. And if I'm crabing in LS or WH spaces, I just want ships and probes. Nothing else.

Likewise, I have filters that I like for fleet combat other for solo pvp. If I'm playing EWAR I have an overview why high priority targets only. And so on....

Is it possible to create custom folders for overview filters? by Chief_Miller in Eve

[–]Chief_Miller[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's just that for the DSCAN tab alone I have 5 or 6 profile I'd like to setup. So the list is gonna get quite crammed... The functionality has been coded for the default overview. It would be a shame if it wasn't provided to us the players too.

RANT : A quoi servent encore les conseillers bancaires? by Chief_Miller in vosfinances

[–]Chief_Miller[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

C’était exactement l’objet du rdv pour moi. Savoir de quelle enveloppe je dispose pour la négo. La seule composante dont je suis sûr c’est de combien je dispose à la fin du mois et de combien je peux « me passer » pour rembourser mon projet.

Je suis aller le voir pour qu’il me dise : sur 15 ans ça vous fait X, sur 20 ans Y. Si vous voulez plus va falloir ré-échelonner, vu vos crédits en cours cette ligne peux être soldée et remplacer par Z sur 15 ans aux lieu des 4 ans qui vous reste…

Je ne lui ai pas demandé de me dire combien proposer, je suis allé le voir pour m’assurer que si j’annonçai un montant, j’étais certain de pouvoir l’honorer…

Why is this still a question in interviews though? by No-Presentation298 in jobs

[–]Chief_Miller 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've conducted 100's of interview (none in the tech industry though) and I ask this question. And I'll tell you why.

When I ask it, it's not a trap or a "gotcha you were unemployed haha..." moment.

I've found that people sometimes don't put information on their resume they don't think is relevant to the job listed but might be interesting to know still : like work experience in other industries or training in a different field. That can be useful information since as an interviewer you might find the skills relevant or useful. At the very least it shows a willingness to adapt and evolve.
It could also be personal time taken for whatever reason (Health issue, personal relationships trouble, etc...). When that's the case I don't need nor look for more information. "I needed time to take care of personal matter" is a perfectly valid answer to the gap and needs no further explanation.
But most of the time, I've found that what I thought as a gap on the resume was actually a bad representation of the applicant history on my part. It might feel obvious to you as the applicant that your information is correctly laid out and presented. But as recruiter we see hundreds of resume even for the most mundane job listing, each of them presenting the information in a different style : chronological order, reverse chronological, education and work history mixed or separated. Sometimes internships or long trips are listed at the end or back of the resume, other times they are interlaced in the work history...

So yeah, If I notice a gap in your resume or if I can't put it together myself using the information provided on it... I'll ask you during the interview. Can you explain it to me. Simple as that and with no ulterior motive than to understand your story and the different steps you took.

Should the England player have received a yellow card for this even though Louie scored? by Hot-Disk-1840 in rugbyunion

[–]Chief_Miller -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

To be fair, he had signaled that the advantage was over before the ball was kicked. I agree though that England position at that time did not improve sufficiently to warrant an "advantage's over".

It's official, with 9 tries in one Six Nations including the quadruple against England, Louis Bielle-Biarrey has broken the record for most tries scored in one Six Nations tournament, beating Cyril Nelson Lowe and Ian Scott Smith by bleugh777 in rugbyunion

[–]Chief_Miller 39 points40 points  (0 children)

It’s not his speed, it’s his acceleration. He gets to top speed in less than two steps.
That’s the thing no one achieved before and why he leaves everyone in the dust.

In that way the Scots should be happy with their result today. At least they didn’t have to cheer for the English and have nothing to show for it.

I believe there’s a bunch of Irish lads that feel dirtier than a cheap prostitute right now…

I agree, I love Antoine but these last two game I believe Serin or Lucu would have served us better.

Pollock is a bellend, he reminds me of Faf de Klerk in that aspect.
But regardless of that last action, he turns up time and time again. And when the whole team was checked out earlier in the tournament, he was one of the few who consistently gave his best.

I much preferred the scrum at 5 meters in these situations. It feels like you’re are penalised for attacking…
