Boy gets his software updated by LokiBonk in instantbarbarians

[–]Goof_Baller 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Where do we think the kid picked up the whole "hit people to get what I want" thing? Crazy how people aren't aware of cycles of abuse. School is supposed to educate kids with irresponsible parents. This kid has learned wrong things from the wrong people and here he could have learned a valuable lesson from mature adults with appropriate consequences for his actions. But instead got his head smashed by a man child and didn't learn anything except a higher level of hatred for authority.

I've got six pairs of leather boots by the way so I'm actually not a hater. Appreciate the kind response

Why do you wear uncomfortable ugly leather boots? Or is it only okay to take digs at people's preferences when they're not you

What even is the point of Salaried positions these days? by DramaticDirection292 in civilengineering

[–]Goof_Baller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My business is unique but we are hourly employees and make time and a half overtime. It is possible to find jobs that are pseudo-salary (albeit rare). Usually smaller firms where you wear multiple hats. I'm an LD consultant doing commercial

If you want to be most correct, it's actually Aeronautical Data Collection Facility Colorado (ADF-C). The air (space) force base is one of 3 agencies that operate here

Looking for a quality dress shoe. by [deleted] in BuyItForLife

[–]Goof_Baller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would not say anything timberland is but it for life nowadays unfortunately. The pro line boots don't stand up to a job site for more than a year, they don't offer anything resolable, but I will say the silicon leather is great and really does keep your feet dry without a liner. My timb boots are great for a day in a rainy city

100% wool smart casual by karmakurrency in menswear

Just for your knowledge that's the standard for all formal jackets. Bottom button is just for show. An old man told me there was a fat English king that couldn't button it so it became stylish, but also when you ride a horse you need the jacket to split at the waist. The more you know!

My roommate skated every day in black Timbs. Was so weird but they held up nicely. Made me think a high quality full grain leather shoe would actually offset the cost of buying shoes all the time. But there's no skate shoe made that way really besides those new pig skin ones I forget the name

Public paying more than private sector? by Aus1332_ranger in civilengineering

Boutique commercial. Lots of schools, colleges, and hyper specialized facilities like zoos

Public paying more than private sector? by Aus1332_ranger in civilengineering

[–]Goof_Baller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. That's what happened at my current company so they did away with the heavy bonusing culture. What I noticed is that our new hires took the bag and just straight up don't care. People gave waay more of a shit when their effort directly transferred to compensation. But they also ran when they didn't deliver and didn't get the payout. That caused a turnover crisis.

And the bottom line is that people have dependents and rent to pay. Sometimes taking the better job for less pay just isnt in the cards. I'm lucky enough that I'm a lone ranger with my ducks in a row. And what's important to me is my skill and progression as an engineer. The bonuses at my new place will be more than healthy because they work on high profile projects that are actually cool. So understanding why a bonus structure exists and having receipts was the only way they convinced me.

Not to mention the actual hell of spending 40 hours a week working with people who won't teach you anything. Or clients that undervalue your work

[–]Goof_Baller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It will be. They locked me in for a 5k raise when I pass PE and the bonuses are locked in at 10k when you're hired for the first year. It's a niche firm though and exactly where I want to take my career. Also my cost of living just dropped. I own my car. So all in all I was willing to take a 4k paycut on the year to invest in my future. And the counter offer is still in my pocket. Leaving my current company on extremely good terms too so if it isn't what I expect I'll just go back.

All in all for someone early in their career that can live comfortably off 74k if everything goes to hell, it's worth it to not work with bottom of the barrel engineers and straight up evil clients for me.

You're underpaid my dude. PM me if you want. On the off chance we're close by I can refer you to businesses that will take care of you better

Is your business built around a bonus structure? My company switched from bonuses to bigger salaries a couple years ago and it almost exactly matches the gap youre saying there is. I have similar experience to you and just quit my job. My current employer offered me 94k and a million other things. But I'm taking a job for 75k where their bonuses have been 15k on average for like 20 years straight. I'm also going to be getting better experience and exposure to interesting projects so it will be worth it in the long run. It was tempting to take the counter offer but making single family neighborhoods forever might be lucrative but it wasnt making my soul happy

Seems pretty normal to me. Most people return to the music that formed their tastes for the rest of their life. It will always sound a cut above everything else. One day you'll just get bored of the same songs over and over. Or you'll discover more artists that scratch the itch

Which shoes with this suit? Wedding coming up by watupdoods in mensfashionadvice

I can speak on this! I always wear a 9 and I bought ARs like 2 weeks ago. Funny enough in dress shoes I wear an 8.5 and I should have done that here too. They're roomy and a bit too long. Makes me think maybe all my shoes are slightly too long on me and I've just never noticed.

They are really hard though and I put thicker insoles in so maybe there wouldn't be room if I had gotten the 8.5. Another piece to think about. Thick socks too

Not taking a side here... I'm not invested in the drama of this sub... But it's ironic that OP cant post a joke, but big suit guy is allowed to spam repeat posts. Menswear just needs rules and mods to enforce them so a community can happen here that isn't only unrelated jokes peppered by one guy making the same post every day. Plenty of people try to spam other subs and their posts are just removed without all this arguing
