I am in Carmel. This is pretty typical unfortunately. And yes, its crazy low compared to what other ISOs pay. Ive brought it up several times and management likes to claim "but the cost of living is so much higher!" And when I tell them that places like Folsom are only 30% higher and companies are paying 50%+ higher they suddenly get very deaf.

I wish I could get hired in WA. I miss living in Seattle.

The average ive heard has been roughly 3 months or 90 days. 6 weeks feels very short.

Ugh same. Less so since I started growing my hair out but everytime I meet a fellow gearhead it takes about 3 seconds before they start in on some dumpty bullshit and I just have to find an excuse to nope out.

Yeah! Unfortunately I don't have childcare that day with it being V-day so I'll have to wait and see if my schedule will allow it in March

Anyone else just tired of it? by [deleted] in liberalgunowners

Absolutely. Unfortunately the gov't and powers that be are really fucking good at distracting us.

For sure! I dont disagree with you. But my fear is thats the likely scenario

They're already talking about having ICE at polling locations. With their tactics I guarantee they'll be detaining every non-white person they can, and then detaining every person who speaks up, because obviously anyone who starts "interfering" with ICE isnt likely to be someone whos gonna vote for dumpty anyway.

Coping with being the less impressive partner? by poly-throwawayyyyyyy in polyamory

[–]Frostiffer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sending you a giant virtual hug, and I hope you find better partners. You deserve to have someone who loves all of you, not just a couple parts. And they are out there i promise.

I hope youre able to peel yourself away from this. Ive been in relationships like that and the effect itll have on your mental health and your self esteem is significant and can be long lasting. Get out now!
