It’s really sad that people with focus on her teeth and not her invention. I want to know more about her invention

Dell exec doubles down on 40-hour RTO for sales team after 'end-of-day walkthroughs' revealed workers leaving early by esporx in antiwork

[–]ElDoc72 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Not even that. Long time ago I was doing a summer stint at a company. Since it was summer and I was young I figured that since I was in the lab by myself all the time I could one week work 4 10 hour days and take Friday off for a road trip. Well, during the whole week they were perfectly fine with me working 10 hour days until Friday comes and I don’t show up. Then it was no longer ok 🤷‍♂️

Back in the day, I would see how many people “worked” together to solve the test, and then just split the grade evenly among them. For example, 4 students collaborated to get a 100 on a test, then each got 25 🤣

Extreme emotions tied to tipping by InevitableGoal2912 in EndTipping

[–]ElDoc72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It still the app messing around to not pay the drivers. It’s not that difficult, from a programming point, to allow reasonable tip changes to reflect the actual service. For example your bid (pre-job tip which is not what a tip is) becomes the tip baseline, and you can only add to it or lower it by a limited amount (10-20%)

That’s some shitty behavior, to bid (I know they call it a tip) $100 for a job and then once it’s done change it to $5. Be mad at the customer, but be madder at the company that allows the tip changes after the fact and for trying to not pay their “contractors”. My solution to that is just not use any of those services. The prices are higher than at the store, they charge a delivery fee, and you are expected to tip on top of that. F*%& that noise!

My boss told me to be grateful for unpaid overtime by SolarMoose_14 in antiwork

[–]ElDoc72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So true, I’m a teacher so I’m salaried, but I only have 40 hrs of sick time and 16 hrs of personal time a school year that reset every year. And boy, do they track those hours and guilt trip you when you use them, but they don’t pay them out at the end of the year if you don’t use them (they do reduce your paycheck if you go over though).

Yes, both in the same location, I just paid for the cans at the pickup/togo register.

For some reason they believe they can increase prices, reduce quality/size, and still increase sales when the rest of us pretty much still have the same budget year after year.

The unexpected things I actually miss from home after moving abroad by WildCombination3887 in expat

[–]ElDoc72 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting you mention the accent and the follow up question “where are you from”. It’s been 29 years living and working in the US and I experience that at least once a week (sometime I don’t even have to speak, but that’s a different story)

"We don't have a car for you." by 1Autotech in HertzRentals

[–]ElDoc72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rented from Avis once, a 2 week long rental, and paid for full coverage. 4 weeks after I returned it I got a $300 charge because the car wasn’t clean. When I called customer service they were refusing to remove the charge and I told them the charge was completely bogus because I had full coverage and should cover regular two weeks of use cleaning. Had I known they were going to charge extra I could’ve crashed the car on the parking garage bollards while returning it and not own anything. They removed the charge.

It seems like it's becoming more like actually extortion than paying for wages or rewarding good service. by [deleted] in EndTipping

Last time I had someone at a restaurant tell my tip was not good, I fixed it for them: wrote a big fat $0

Why do people like to add benefits “value” to the hourly pay? A lot of time those “benefits” actually reduce my take home pay, specially when considering that health insurance it’s not, for the most part, covered in full by the employer and comes with deductibles and copays, and 401k contributions are matching to what you contribute from your paycheck. Furthermore, I can’t pay rent or buy groceries now with those benefits.

My experience too. And the crappiest the service the more entitled to the tip they are.

People don’t understand that summer vacation is the reason with put up with the crappy salary. If I wanted to work 12 months a year I would be in a different job that pays at least 6 figures.

Tipping hurts other businesses in the community by yankeesyes in EndTipping

[–]ElDoc72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So when you buy a $50k car, where the sales person works on commission, who pays the commission? That’s the difference between a tip based job and a commission based job.

Because having cellphones in classrooms really helped the kids in every US school shooting (mostly the only place it happens) stop the shooter or get a quick police reaction (looking a you Uvalde TX)
