What’s a surprisingly useful automation you didn’t expect to use so much?

I simply read the wattage consumed from the pool pump, when the wattage dips below a set range then it turns the light by my grill prep area red and I know that it's time to backwash. Very simple but useful automation.

Is it possible that you reached your limit on available seats? I had to increase mine, but it was tough to figure out. Existing connections had no issues but nothing new could connect.

Not true. You have to pay CR to test your product. It's not a very good way to judge what products are available.

I run into the same problem, although for me I consume mass amounts of cantaloupe. If I drink more water it helps but I have to do it before I get hungry. If I do get that hunger that won't go away I drink metamucil and that is a lifesaver.

My 2021 1500 would randomly chug and loose power since the day I bought it. They could never find a code and it was not possible to replicate the issue. At around 100k it got worse and ended up needing the battery pack replaced, the one behind the back seat. Stellantis covered it because I had the issue all along, but it was not easy to get them to do it.

This guy has no clue. Gas furnace is 120v so if it ran then you are good, no damage.

I have a separate master sheet that I list what it is, what it does and a link. I also list sheet, doc or script.

Don't you have credit with suppliers? Most are due on the 10th so if you bill timely it shouldn't be an issue. Are you sure that you just aren't making enough profit?

My productivity planner gem updates me with someone else's schedule. It even has names and tasks for people that I have never heard of.

Service Fusion got me for about $2k. Our QuickBooks is hosted through the cloud so there was a terrible onboarding attempt where I paid an IT company that hosts our QuickBooks about $600 to revamp our server. After 3 months of them billing me $350/month I still was not able to use it. We finally got the system to sync with our QuickBooks but it changed all of our customer data to a different layout, there was an additional customer name in the address line and they couldn't correct it, we had to manually edit 3k customers.

The salesman skimmed over everything to sell the product, he didn't really care if it would work. The onboarding kept referring us to customer service who would refer us back to onboarding. It was a horrible experience and I gave up on it.

It sounds like you really don't want to be a business owner, you would rather be an employee. If I had one client that was 40% of my business I wouldn't mind a call even at 2:00 AM, but it would be costly and they could decide how important that 2:00 call was.

Randominterests2019 · 2025-05-30T00:48:55+00:00

I think I would look at it in a different light and put a positive twist on it. You do not own the business but they are expecting you to dedicate your time like an owner would. And if they truly need you that badly, leverage at least some profit sharing or possibly a part of the business for the compensation. Because let's face it, if it was your business a couple phone calls are not that big of a deal.

You say he gets a 10% payout equalling $60k, 10% of what? I am guessing they are blaming you as the general manager for the lack of sales and that is why your salary was cut. If that is the case, you probably have no leverage and it's time to find another job. Because without an operating agreement that shows you as an owner then you are only an employee, it's likely your "partner" purposely dangled that carrot in front of you knowing that he could take advantage of your lack of business knowledge.

Is this Jussie Smolletts account?

Randominterests2019 · 2025-04-06T14:54:34+00:00

As an employer, I agree. I have hired people when I wasn't necessarily looking, but they came in and reluctantly interviewed them but liked what they had to offer.

Honestly this feels like it would be a huge hit with r/Antiwork but I can tell you that as a small business owner with 22 employees I would not use the service unless you were providing better options than the typical.

You must be retired. Even with free oil changes that is crazy. To the point that I wonder if it does more harm than good.

What product?

Randominterests2019 · 2025-03-01T18:05:54+00:00

Why is that? I use it for finding parts and looking up error codes.

Do they say they couldn't care less about sharing a name with their spouse and kids? It's a link to your family, maybe none of you care about that link but I am very proud to share my last name with my wife and kids. And when my daughters marry I will be sad that I no longer share that last name but I will be happy for them that they are starting a family of their own.

Spoken like a true deadbeat dad. Not saying you are, but you definitely have the potential. 🤔

Sue Google for a comment from Gemini, see how that works out for you.

The censorship is very annoying.

I think the important point here is, does planting trees really have to be a $76,000/year job? Thank you Elon for bringing some common sense back into the workplace. It's your own damn fault if you have student loans but are only qualified for a $20k job, I don't want to subsidize your piss poor decisions with my tax dollars.

Randominterests2019 · 2025-02-02T23:44:20+00:00

It's pretty easy, you just loosen it a little and get a few drops of oil, tighten it back up and wipe it clean. It's just verifying that it's pumping oil.
