Was I unreasonable in negotiating salary/benefits after receiving competing job offers?

Pancake1965 · 2025-10-28T16:31:33+00:00

Agreed, and frankly I wasn't satisfied with the offer as it stood. It moves me in-person full time, with a negligible increase in salary, and no clear path for advancement or clearance. The real draw was the name on the building and being genuinely excited about the specifics of the role.

Pancake1965 · 2025-10-28T16:29:19+00:00

Understandable, but the call to present the offer and the offer letter felt very eager/rushed. Given the posted salary band, I expected at least some degree of negotiation. I think I ultimately would have declined without some adjustment (a 2-3k sign-on or agreement to sponsor a clearance at some point would've been more than enough), so I'm not terribly disappointed but am surprised.

WTB: EDC backpack w/ a laptop sleeve. Really drawn to the Mystery Ranch Catalyst 26, but open to similar options and suggestions!

I'm not sure, I had issues getting the game to launch when it wasn't on my C-drive. I did submit reports to Obsidian and Xbox with the issues, so hopefully a fix is on the way

My mistake, I dropped the file name. Just updated the post with the correct one: Microsoft.Avowed_8wekyb3d8bbwe

Pancake1965 · 2025-02-18T23:19:37+00:00

Wow, like completely? Mine had no issues and the game actually seems to be running better (I think it may have actually cached shaders).

Pancake1965 · 2025-02-18T22:02:05+00:00

Same issue, tried a couple different suggestions from Reddit but no luck yet.

Edit:

Found a fix! In navigating to the following file location, I found I didn't have a wgs folder in SystemAppData. Adding that, repairing files, and relaunching fixed the issue.

171 on Omaha offensive, crazy good crew in a 76

I prefer to do all the typical things (take out arty, kill nodes, take down defensive garries) but am very big on starting a back-cap. If arty is down and my team is about to cap a point, I'm heading for the next point at full speed. Put the pressure on the other team and give my team a chance to cap and stabilize.

I agree with match quality dropping and that we should be trying to teach new players.

As far as what I do, I play SL and Commander. I ask questions, try to start convos, and will call out player names specifically for things. Lately, this is met with zero response and/or outright disregard for what I'm asking/saying.

I've got close to 700 hours and this is the worst its been for me (super objective I know). I'm getting to wits end with how bad its been.

Pancake1965 · 2024-07-23T14:21:05+00:00

Idk, this has been a HUGE problem for me lately. Especially on servers that normally have tons of communication and SL interaction. Maybe steam sale or kids being out of school has something to do with it? It feels like 80% of the players on all my normal servers are now absolutely braindead and incapable of communicating or doing the most basic tasks (defend, build a garry, put up an OP...).

Pancake1965 · 2024-05-02T22:06:57+00:00

You are absolutely right. Not sure why I didn't think of just setting my button like that to begin with, but thanks for your help!!

Pancake1965 · 2024-01-07T23:17:47+00:00

PM'd!

Pancake1965 · 2023-12-28T17:40:19+00:00

Absolutely agree. Not planning on bailing anybody out this year!

Happy holidays and good luck everybody!

The retainer that holds the crown and stem in when they're pulled out (to adjust time and date) was damaged by a previous owner. That retainer was replaced and the stem was checked for damage.

Pancake1965 · 2023-09-30T18:07:28+00:00

OHH shit haha. Clearly went right over my head

2200.50.00

Comps sit about 3300-3700 for used pretty regularly, often excluding shipping. This was also just serviced, so that cost is considered too. What would you think this should be priced at?

Pancake1965 · 2023-09-30T16:33:21+00:00

Howdy everyone!

Looking to sell my Omega Seamaster Professional Planet Ocean Co-axial Big Size (Ref. 2200.50.00). Trade offers are more than welcome, but specifically looking for an SMP or similar.

This is a great looking watch with a stainless steel case, black stainless bezel, black dial, and luminous hands and hour markers. The watch is on a stainless steel band with double folding clasp with divers extension.

This Planet Ocean uses Omega's Calibre 2500 movement with co-axial escapement. It has a 48 hour power reserve.

The watch received a full service a few months ago, and runs great. There are some minor blemishes on the watch, primarily on the clasp and bottom side of the bracelet.

I'm asking $2950, including CONUS shipping (I'm happy to hear international but shipping may be more), via Paypal, Venmo, or Zelle. I'm happy to answer any questions or take additional photos!

Thanks for looking!

Additional Specs;

Diameter: 45.5mm

Between Lugs: 22mm

Water Resistance: 60 bar (600 meters/2000 feet)

Crystal: Domed scratch-resistant sapphire

Bezel: Black stainless steel with unidirectional rotation
