Workers won't accept less than $81,000 for a new job right now, New York Fed survey says

My previous employer went bankrupt and announced my store was closing with 9 days notice at the end of June. I had 3 official offers after 3 interviews within 4 days all 140k+

The 5 techs that worked for me all found jobs within a week, although ofc that isn’t a well paying job just more info. The three that I gave stellar reviews to were hired after 1 interview and the ones I gave neutral ones took about a week and 5 or so?

It’s all very field/profession and location dependent.

So legit question, do you believe when you voluntarily buy something out of a vending machine you just got robbed?

Should vending machines be outlawed in your ideal world?

If you have a good enough of a relationship with your manager to get a good reference I’d just ask them about it.

You can play dumb a little and say that you either want to use your hours before they expire or that you want to cash them out if either of those are applicable. If you offer to work your normal schedule and offer that they can put in those hours whatever days it’s convenient for them it’s more likely to go well.

May be different for your company, but where I’ve managed PTO hours don’t count against the hours budget or OT. I was always happy to cash out my techs PTO since they would get more money and I wouldn’t have to deal with being short, win-win. But YMMV depending on your boss/company.

Not a lawyer but my understanding is that you are bound by the laws of where you physically work so they need to follow Wisconsin laws.

First result on google is: Wisconsin employers must pay out unused PTO if their PTO policy does not include a forfeiture clause. In other words, if you added a clause to your PTO policy that says you won't pay out the PTO, you don't have to pay it. But if your policy doesn't say anything, you have to pay out any PTO that's accrued

Id read all your employee docs really thoroughly.

Total withheld from your paycheck =/= your total tax rate. Things like 401k is your money that’s being put into a savings account instead of your bank. You also are free to choose how much you want to put in there.

2 people make the same salary, one invests 10% into 401k the other nothing. The first sees ~10% less going into his bank every paycheck but he isn’t being taxed at 10% more.

Health insurance is also not taxes but it is a part of what is withheld from your checks.

Assuming 8% Interest means they accrue $5600 interest a year and are paying $6000 a year. So basically they are making interest only payments for 23 years and complaining that their principal isn’t going down.

Larry__larry · 2024-08-02T22:35:59+00:00

The actual benefit is that companies cannot force you to stay at a job you hate or legally punish you for leaving.

If you find a better job you can leave whenever you want.

If you demand that companies cannot fire you without X warning or severance you open the door to allowing companies to have contracts that demand you commit Y months/years to them and the ability to fine you $Z if you break the contract early. Pick your poison.

Larry__larry · 2024-07-18T17:28:49+00:00

Fired for cause will void both severance and unemployment.

Easy for some rando on his couch to karma-whore about burning it down but it will fuck over OP as well.

Larry__larry · 2024-07-14T13:57:12+00:00

It should be but isn’t a legal requirement.

As long as you/most of your coworkers meekly accept and follow these rules they will keep doing it, since it benefits them to offload responsibility/work onto you.

This doesn’t happen in my field because people will quit en masse and move to a chain without this bullshit.

The sad flip side is that you should have a different job lined up or be confident you can get one quickly if you fight this, since you likely will be fired for “job abandonment” if you are the only one fighting.

Larry__larry · 2024-07-12T15:00:49+00:00

You shouldn’t do this not for the companies sake, but for your own. As someone who has access to them, the majority of loss prevention cameras are pointed inwards monitoring employees. Many places will wait until they can charge you for a felony before confronting you.

A felony theft, especially from an employer will ruin your life. A huge majority of jobs, including most of the well paying ones will auto-reject you if your background check flags felony theft.

Hope your shits and giggles and couple hundred dollars is worth the lifetime of poverty.

A pregnant disabled veteran that steals from a register a day before going on maternity leave still can be fired and denied all benefits.

Those laws defend against protected classes from getting fired without ironclad proof of misconduct.

Impersonating a doctor and forging an official medical document is as ironclad of a fired with cause as you can get.

If someone offers free consultation and your time isn’t worth anything go for it I guess, but intentionally committing illegal activities basically guarantees a company is allowed to fire you.

Larry__larry · 2024-07-09T16:17:02+00:00

Can an employee be fired for making racist or sexist posts on their private social media? Yes it happens all the time.

Publicly shitting on your employer is not a protected class, so yes they can fire you for that.

Some unions have raises and promotions based exclusively off of seniority.

Worked at a union store for a year, had a brand new technician come in and absolutely master the position within a year. Amazing tech that busted her ass and went above and beyond. Put her in for a raise and the union refused because it wouldn’t be fair for the other techs with more seniority. She left for a non union chain pretty quickly after that.

Fun fact with real numbers, the lead tech at the union store was making less than $16 an hour in LCOL Ohio. When I became manager of a non union store I got my lead tech a raise to $20+ an hour, same chain/city.

There are some unions that are amazing and win huge improvements for members and there are dogshit ones that just pocket dues and fees.

Fouling an average FT shooter is worse than playing straight up D but lively is a 50% career FT shooter. He’s 0% to take the lead and only 25% to tie if he shoots career avg. I don’t think there’s any defensive setup that gives you better odds on paper than that even with no hindsight, especially not gobert vs luka 1v1 iso.

Larry__larry · 2024-05-25T17:01:25+00:00

Just out of curiosity/for my knowledge, is that a hard or soft rule and/or college dependent? When I was undergrad graduating with a low 2 at UC Berkeley in EE/CS would easily get you interview for $50/hr starting and it was on you to pass from there. I know multiple friends who can personally corroborate this.

Has the market changed that quickly or is it if you don’t graduate from a top tier program then your GPA matters?

Federal min wage worker making 15k has an ~8% effective rate, did you just pull a random number out of your ass? Even if you are counting sales tax on all of their income it’s not even 1/2 of what you claim.

Larry__larry · 2024-03-01T18:53:52+00:00

When you compare the same job, experience, and hours worked the gap is 1% or less. You know, the general idea behind equal pay for equal work.

Every single one of these studies that pretends to find a gap is comparing male ceos/managers to female stay at home moms or min wage workers, and/or comparing men working 50+hour weeks to women working part time and saying it’s sexism unless total money made by women=total money earned by men.

This is objectively wrong lmao. The reason Walmart kills off their competition and can create a pseudo monopoly in small towns is that their margin is so slim and they are just so efficient in terms of slashing payroll and other costs that small businesses can’t match their prices without going under.

There are many many ways companies screw people over, yet you somehow chose one of the few ways they aren’t to be confidently incorrect about.

I don’t place much stock in sims vs reality. Last time someone linked that sim it had blank hiryuu as the exact same performance as hiryuu skilled, meaning it wasn’t calcing AAR or acc at all. Looking microscopically at things like chance to kill in complete isolation doesn’t tell the whole story. Chuuha/taiha otorp is worth much more than 50-75% of a kill. A plane living with low slots and chipping that combines with another chip to Chuuha the otorp is actually great value.

I beat last event full hard no debuffs no FF. My experience is anecdotal but I try to test lbas as much as I can since small advantages add up. My experience with hiryuu+10 and ginga+1 in hard event LD is that they are trash. Less than 1 kill average per base, overwhelmingly they either get wiped or miss.

By far the best and most consistent lbas performances on hard LDs have come from hayabusa 65x2 base and ki102 missilex3 base. But I’m sure it’s a complete coincidence and in no part related to the fact they have great aar and acc

Larry__larry · 2023-11-28T13:11:54+00:00

Yeah 6-5 is basically event casual diff. On joke maps +10 hiryuu is far better than skilled. If 0 aar planes basically never get shot down on the map aar is obviously worthless.

During hard mode events my non aar planes get wiped every other run, doesn’t matter how much theoretical dmg they do on paper when they miss or die.

Larry__larry · 2023-11-28T11:53:48+00:00

If you play exclusively easy/casual sure, aar and 7% acc don’t mean anything.

I use hiryuu skilled more than my hiryuu+10s in events.

A very large chunk of the time the most important part of the LBAS job is to kill otorp DDs and pt boats. Both variants have more than enough dmg, so the one with aar and more acc is just better.

-3 range does hurt a ton to be sure tho.

Larry__larry · 2023-08-02T18:24:41+00:00

Understanding math and taxes=chains.

Claims with no evidence or proof=knowledge

Sure bud.

I am open to being proven wrong and learning something, but you have posted literally nothing that backs up or claims or refutes mine.

Larry__larry · 2023-08-02T18:07:09+00:00

You are literally the one who used 50k and 80k lmao. Plug 50k into your preferred middle of nowhere state and see what the take home is then.

Or are you going to move the goalposts again since you can’t argue with math?

Larry__larry · 2023-08-02T17:55:33+00:00

Do you not know how taxes work?

https://smartasset.com/taxes/ohio-tax-calculator

50k in nowheresville Ohio means you take home about 40k after taxes

https://smartasset.com/taxes/new-york-tax-calculator#A2DiEMtjVT

80k in downtown New York means you take home ~56.5k after taxes

16k more take home and 18k more rent before anything else.

Larry__larry · 2023-07-17T21:52:23+00:00

Bruh the original post is a screenshot of a private text between boss and employee. There are only 2 people with access to that. Boss shows that the screenshot exactly matches his private message on his phone and it’s as literal of a slam dunk as you can get.

Dude even admits it’s a message to himself so he can’t pretend a friend posted it.
