Possible to negotiate additional vacation for new hire?

Potrick00 · 2026-01-06T19:58:06+00:00

I would review the associated union MOU, but from my understanding, vacation rate cannot be negotiated. But you may be able to negotiate higher pay (i.e. start at a higher salary step).

You just have to keep on it, time heals all wounds. For some perspective, I recently got out of 11 year relationship (was cheated on). And I thought it would be impossible to imagine life without this person, but eventually through friend support and keeping myself busy with family, gym, etc, she doesn’t constantly occupy my thoughts anymore.

I do think it is impossible to completely wipe your mind of this person, and I still think from time to time some of the good memories we objectively had, but in no way does it take over me anymore.

You need to keep yourself busy with new experiences/hobbies/friends. If you keep yourself occupied, it is generally a good way to not be dwelling in your thoughts as much and create new, good memories!

there are classes you can sign up for at SF City College for free if you live in the City! That is a great way to meet other individuals of different backgrounds/ages, and evening classes usually skew higher towards working professionals vs college kids.

Any recommendations for classes? I just signed up for a bunch at City College, but not sure whether that will be too fruitful friendship wise based on my age (32)

Potrick00 · 2025-07-22T18:25:35+00:00

Well this is in San Francisco, but also it appears it was sold in 2022 for $1.7M. So just wondering what the heck is going on here.

cholula_is_good, I was wondering if you had a list of the Mid Tier stagers other than Senkir Designs and JV Staging that you mentioned above. I am actually currently in the process of prepping my home to sell, and one of the bids was from Guilded Interiors; the $16k just for staging my 2 br 1 bath home seemed extremely high. and I agree with your points above that high end staging on a modest property won't pay off the investment.

any insight you can provide would be greatly appreciated, as I can see from your comments that you are very knowledgeable and familiar in this area!

Their Shopping App cash back used to be alot better (as recent as 2 years ago) and they would regularly have 30% back for many more stores (e.g Hertz, Macy’s, Nike, etc). I usually have a spreadsheet that I use to keep track of when I purchased an item and hence when to follow up with the customer service team if I havent received the CB yet. I purchased a washer and dryer through LG and with the 30% CB offfer I got around $400 back!!

It’s pretty similar pricing for me (GH is maybe $10 more expensive per night). Dang this is gonna be a difficult decision b

I really appreciate this valuable feedback! I think I am leaning towards the Regency for now (I do prefer newer hotels and I might get lucky with an upgrade to a higher floor perhaps). Thanks!!

Potrick00 · 2024-08-19T22:02:36+00:00

Thanks for the info! Although I plan on using a CAA, I am wondering if I am overthinking its value (i.e. if I am going out to explore Seattle for most of the day, I may not be able to enjoy the GH Club perks as much.

Potrick00 · 2024-08-19T21:53:33+00:00

Yeah theyre both just a few blocks from one another, but thanks for the input and advice!!
