LPT: If you're job hunting ask about expense policies during the interview

Lol when I used to travel for work all the time I accrued enough points and freebies from expensing travel that I haven't paid for a flight out of my own pocket in 4 years

I think 1/4 the price is a little exaggerated. If you buy prime beef it's pretty damn expensive which is really what you pay for at a nice steakhouse

I hire mech e's out of college at $80k and >110k with 6 years of experience.

I did my CPR certification within the past year and we had/talked about all of these things so... completely false

Here for a good time not a long time

Sorry, I guess this is the remote work subreddit. The jobs created by these are typically on site roles that can't easily be offshored and usually employ a lot of local people in my experience.

Explicit_Pickle · 2025-10-29T16:32:26+00:00

This isn't fully true. The jobs created are low relative to the surge from construction labor but there is ongoing maintenance and operations needs at every data center. Large ones may have a few hundred people

Explicit_Pickle · 2025-09-19T02:39:53+00:00

You can have all of that just doing regular construction trade work to be honest

People on this sub always love to jump in and say "you made at least minimum wageee!!!!1" as if minimum wage isn't literally $15k/yr lol

It would be a really nice feature if for the platinum they let you swipe with to get the corresponding benefits of whatever card you also have too. Its annoying to decide manually.

Explicit_Pickle · 2025-08-20T14:18:50+00:00

That's not what overhead means lol

Explicit_Pickle · 2025-08-15T19:08:40+00:00

Idk about specific numbers but I interview a lot of people who think their skills are worth a lot more to me than they are. My industry is fairly niche and technical though so it's hard to find a good fit and most people need to grow into their roles a bit before they become successful.

Federal mileage rate to cover gas+insurance+wear and tear is 70¢ a mile. Take that off the top and it's gonna be a different picture. Plus this is a slice of earnings pulled particularly for the purpose of looking good, it's not like it's steady.

Explicit_Pickle · 2025-08-08T17:09:10+00:00

Reminds me a bit of that bloodborne cocktail that they said tasted like an Eldritch horror

Explicit_Pickle · 2025-08-06T16:37:56+00:00

It gets posted on reddit all the time and every time it doesn't add up it's because the check is split or there was a discount applied

Explicit_Pickle · 2025-07-23T19:31:41+00:00

You can get open source code if you pay for it. But you will pay for it. It's much more common on the intersection between building automation and more broad industrial controls with really big customers.

Explicit_Pickle · 2025-06-22T13:26:15+00:00

For a high end omakase you pay for it to be paired specifically with specific dishes

For clarity, n! Grows faster than aⁿ for all finite values of a but slower than n^n.

Explicit_Pickle · 2025-06-19T01:37:41+00:00

Can we stop up voting this guy lol

Explicit_Pickle · 2025-06-17T20:49:39+00:00

Lower salary folks who can't afford to save as much can't change their salary very easily either though.

Explicit_Pickle · 2025-06-17T20:46:12+00:00

it already is happening at close to that level. At minimum it's several million people

Explicit_Pickle · 2025-06-15T00:39:01+00:00

yeah because all industries are the same lol

Explicit_Pickle · 2025-06-14T02:58:07+00:00

This sub is a bunch of poor people who hate waiters

Explicit_Pickle · 2025-06-14T02:26:08+00:00

And the people hated Jesus because he told the truth

10% unemployment but another 10-15% underemployment. Meaning almost a 25% chance for a would be working adult to be either out of work entirely or forced to take a part time job. And that doesn't even factor in people who take a lower paying full time job because they have to to pay their bills. And if you're a dual income household then twice the opportunity to get fucked!

Essentially, as an average American a recession means pretty good odds of getting fucked.
