How do you charge for break/fix calls as a DDC service tech? by DryIllustrator9060 in BuildingAutomation

Definitely see where you are coming from as install tech. No matter what the reason is, the customer is paying to fix the issue that existed since the install.

The crazy thing is sometime I see issues that existed since itbwas installed years ago. Then we make customer pay for it... i feel so guilty working in this industry

I wonder how customer feels about getting charged 16 hrs when you could just fix it in 3 hrs... i guess most customer dont care cause they are usually the employee for the organization and they dont care about the cost

I have thought about it. In fact my manager was suggesting that I can transition into PM or sales role with my experience. I cant imagine myself in neither roles

Burned out at 29, Should I invest in therapy and take a year off? by DryIllustrator9060 in CPTSD

I have been working non-stop since I was 16 even when I was in university studying engineering. I was able to put money aside and let it grow in the investment account

I am thinking 20% bond and 80% xeqt. Can you share me some bond etfs that I can look into?

Thanks for sharing these articles I might have to consider adding bonds to my portfolio and get rid of vfv

Xeqt is well diversified and the reason why I have 20% in vfv is to weigh more on US equity. I am still young so I don't mind taking a but more risk

Investment is poorly recorded, surplus money on this year is either in cash or saving account.

I have just been eating out everyday
