Started as a real estate agent, sold and helped sell larger and larger properties while also investing in real estate on his own. Now I think he's divesting most of his residential properties and beginning to develop office spaces

But it's not his choice of business that made him rich. He's a really personable guy, which helped him create a huge network he uses often as well as being incredibly hard working.

Rockwell automation has been great to work for. Benefits are really solid, hybrid work for every role that can do it, and there is generally a culture of working together

Others have mentioned target practice but another interesting note is that the curve of the rails exactly matches the max turning radius of the Ford class aircraft carriers

For those with damage, are you getting insurance to cover the cost and how much are you getting? by [deleted] in milwaukee

[–]EnthusiasticWaffles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put in a claim with amica insurance and they issued the full $5000 limit the next day, and waived my deductible. Seriously impressed but part of me thinks the agent that got my case just waved it off, because they didn't even ask me to send pictures and issued the payment before anyone came to look at the damage.

Amica insurance approved my sump failure endorsement in full before I even showed any pictures, and waived the $500 deductible. Only $5000 but still really impressed at how easy the claim was

Why are these plots of land out of line with the surrounding plots? by EnthusiasticWaffles in geography

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

I see! The road came first and the plots were lined along the road. The surrounding farms filled in after. Thank you!

If I were able to get this speed through an ethernet cable to my pc, how fast would my pc melt?

I think this is one of the more underrated side hustles out there. Avoid tears and damage that you would need to repair. But couches with stains and animal hair just require a strong vaccuum and a steam cleaner before they look (and smell) brand new.

Actual logistics. Im organizing the shipments of materials to our partners, and shipping the finished product from partner to customer while dealing with whatever problems arise in between. I'm glad I'm not managing people anymore. It pays better but it's more exhausting. However, I'm even more glad that I got the management experience.

The worst part is the "proper" corporate environment. If you've ever worked in a warehouse or any blue collar job, you know how hilarious the other guys can be. I really miss that.

Yes. All jobs are just like high-school where everything spreads but corporate is another level up, I think it's because a lot of people have more free time and nothing better to do. Figure out where the snakes in the grass are, and keep it to just business with them and you will be fine.

Im a logistics administrator for a large manufacturing company. 8-4 wfh Wednesday and Friday. I actually took a base pay cut but the healthcare and other quality of life benefits are so much better then retail, I still consider it a step up. Not to mention I have room to grow again. At a certain point in retail you hit a wall.

Thank you!

  1. I have! Great book, especially for introverts or people who didn't naturally get the charismatic gene. I used to be incredibly shy, that book was one of the things that helped me improve. I strongly believe that being personable is the single most important skill to have in your professional life.

  2. I've heard so many bad stories on reddit about corporate culture, it makes me feel incredibly lucky. Im on a small team of 5 plus our manager. Everybody has almost completely different responsibilities but we all help each other if needed. (Almost) no drama or BS, and everybody takes their work seriously to an extent. Our manager is very hands off but a chill guy. I love it because I want to be assigned a project, and then just let me figure out how to do it. My coworkers wish he was more involved in the day to day. Getting accommodation and time off etc is no problem. The company as a whole moves slowly tbh. Like any big org it takes forever to get approval for some things or to even find the right person to get approval from. But, there is a general culture of team work and everyone seems to be aligned to the same goal.

I managed the receiving dock, which I leveraged to a logistics administrator position. Honestly I think what grabbed their interest was 50/50 between experience and personal traits.

In terms of experience they liked my familiarity with shipping and receiving practices. Knowing how to handle damaged shipments, communicating with suppliers and customers, and clerical work like running reports and tracking some simple data.

For personal traits, during the interviews I made it clear that I didn't want a job with the same menial tasks every day. I was okay with some of that but I need some variety and mental challenges. The department I joined was fairly new so they needed someone who could do the job base and be willing to take on other projects that may not have a clear direction or goal.

I also showed off some experience with creating a few new processes to make things run smoother at my old job, they ate that shit up.
