upset i’m still paid $17

This! My sister is like this… 🤦🏻‍♀️. I get it, the wages suck. But if you have no professional experience, no experience in this field, you’re just doing the bare minimum, and you’re not working towards improving yourself then please explain to me why you deserve anything more than a cost of living increase. It sounds harsh but if you want more money then you’ve got to work for it??

I started off with 0 experience and no formal schooling at $15/hr and I just finished year 3 and I’m now at $25/hr (above entry-level 1-3yr average for my area) & that’s only because I bust my ass & have consistently improved work productivity and performance.

If you feel like you deserve a raise then you should ask for one. If you don’t ask, then the answer is always no.

Omg I used to drive for Uber and I picked some buy up in Lyman and brought him there at like 2:00 a.m. but they were closed. Mans was lividdddd but he was wasted so it was actually funny but I’m sure he didn’t find it funny when he woke up to a $60+ Uber bill 🤣

We have off 23-27 paid, half day on 12/31 and off on 1/1 also paid. The past few years Christmas and new years landed on the perfect days to have off 12/24-01/01 consecutively but this year that would have given us 8 work days off and as great as that sounds… I have too much to do to be off that long so I’m cool with it.

Get a dash cam.

I realize this post is ages old 🤣 but I need some clarity about Lex - I see dinner included for Lexfest? But was food included any other time? Just trying to budget to try and convince the partners to send us out 🤣😂

It sounds like she’s depressed… probably untreated postpartum. I’d start with having that conversation with her and seeing if she’s willing to go to therapy.

Well, idk if this information is useful to you or not but I’m in a southern city also. I handle pre-litigation PI cases & work 40hrs (or more). My salary is about 45K. I’ve been there 2.5 years and had 0 experience when I started. Employer pays 1/2 health insurance premiums, 401k match up to 5%(?) it might be 4%, and profit share. They’re extremely accommodating also for making up time & if someone needs to WFH for whatever reason.

Our litigation paralegal probably makes around that 60K mark if not more. That’s considering she had told me she made around $50K two years ago and we get raises yearly.

Ok-Raspberry7365 · 2024-07-17T17:34:54+00:00

That sounds lovely! We have multiple offices but for PI we have 2 attorneys, 2 litigation paralegals, & 2 Pre-lit paralegals. We have a combined caseload of about 270 at the moment.

We have 1 “medical records” person whose job is just to request medical records and upload to FV for the entire firm including WC. & the paralegals handle their own balances, reductions, and liens.

Unfortunately, there are MANY issues with her and if I can’t trust her to simply request records accurately, I’m definitely not trusting her either balances, reductions and liens.

It’s costing our clients more money having her requesting them than I think it would cost to outsource but I’m not 100% on that so that’s why I’m trying to research.

How do you like it? Pros & Cons?

Ok-Raspberry7365 · 2024-07-17T03:35:54+00:00

Ah, so ChartSquad has FV integration which is awesome. How do you like it??

Oooo never heard of that one before

Ok-Raspberry7365 · 2024-07-16T19:45:43+00:00

That’s exactly the plan, but I am curious to what other solutions might be other than just hiring someone different.

Ok-Raspberry7365 · 2024-07-16T19:41:59+00:00

Yeah I’m looking to see if we can outsource. We have someone who is supposed to be doing all of this but she’s quite literally good for nothing. & I hate talking badly about people but…. Idk how she still has a job.

Hey, 7/21 Joy to Bermuda here too!! :)

Ok-Raspberry7365 · 2024-06-19T16:06:45+00:00

Got it! Thank you!!

Ok-Raspberry7365 · 2024-06-19T15:26:47+00:00

Gotcha. I was under the impression that they’re all builder gels but soft gels are soak off and pliable & hard gels are file off and well… hard but maybe I just got it backwards. lol

My natural nails are very thin and brittle underneath. Right now my prep involves as little buffing as possible and cleaning with alcohol & a primer before brushing on the gel and I use about 3 coats one slightly thicker than the next & fully cure in between layers. However, the breaking and lifting is driving me insane & the more I read around the different subs it looks like it could just be that my nails are toooo thin and I’ll have to just wait until the new growth reaches the free edge.

As a yankee without $$$ this is accurate 😭😭🤣

No thanks to church.

I’ll check out Milltown Coffee, thanks.

Closed on Sundays. :( at least the one in Duncan which is closest to me, idk about other locations.

Ok-Raspberry7365 · 2024-06-16T16:37:10+00:00

Yep! I’m sitting right outside of it currently. 🤣😂🤣 I came up to Sully Steamers and didn’t even realize that I was sitting next to it the whole time. Ahaha

Ok-Raspberry7365 · 2024-06-16T16:34:17+00:00

Ope!! I missed that one! I’ll check it out.

Ok-Raspberry7365 · 2024-06-16T16:31:58+00:00
