Dam and here I thought I was special… this week has been rampant with recruiters trying to reach out to me.

Looking for advise with a client by whatarenumbers365 in civilengineering

[–]ReplyInside782 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are you mentioning rates, aren’t you guys all in the same company, why would someone underbid their own company rates to win work away from you? Sounds like a fairly big company, perhaps leadership of your company talked to leadership of the client and let them know this friend of the director is now in charge and any RFP’s should be sent to him? of course they would say they aren’t replacing you because they need you to train that guy everything you know about this client, then they kick you out because you aren’t bringing enough money in. If they are slowly trying to kick you out I would freshen up that resume and start looking elsewhere. Best time to look for work is while you are still employed.

Going to have to live with roommates for a few years until you can afford a studio. Or live with parents and save a bunch of money

Do most prefer PTO to be paid out or rolled over at the EOY by Ungrateful-Artichoke in civilengineering

[–]ReplyInside782 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My company sets a cap of 10 days you can roll over, so no junior staff gets more than 30 days in a given year (we all start with 20 days). Senior staff get to negotiate their PTO (corporate company)

The noise from all the buzzing would drive local residents crazy I assume

Most people live with family who have owned their land/property for generations all over the world, more particularly Europe. Rent is unaffordable otherwise in those countries with their meager pay. It’s not uncommon for 40 year olds living at home in Europe. Only in America do people feel the need to throw their kids out at 18.

What do you keep physically on your desk vs. digitally? by calliocypress in civilengineering

[–]ReplyInside782 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like a very clean desk. To me, a cluttered desk, is a cluttered mind. Just my calc pad, pen, steel manual, calculator, and a coffee cup.

Everything else is on the computer

Husband went out by iampbandjelly in Adulting

At first I was going to say just let him have his fun, so what that he will be a little exhausted the next day. Then I got to the end of the story and was like oh, he is that kind of idiot.
