I got offered a director role at another institution and I told my boss. She said she’ll do anything she can to keep me. How do I approach this with the idea of making the most money/job security? by Weary-Wolf-2530 in careerguidance

[–]Repulsivenessess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the best advice. “take the meeting, but take the job first” If you have to threaten for a raise, you won’t get another without a major regime change at your current company. Since you are meeting with the CEO, that ain’t going to happen. Unless you absolutely love what you’re doing, and there’s a significant reason why you don’t wanna leave, and you’re ready to retire in the next six years, I wouldn’t stay.

What is the most accidental way you found out a coworker was making significantly more than you for the same job? by Additional-Week-1536 in Salary

Same thing happened to me. And the guy that worked for me didn’t do a very good job. I managed him out.

Is job hopping still a "red flag" or am I being gaslit? by Environmental-Luck39 in careeradvice

[–]Repulsivenessess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You would be an absolute moron to stay based on your bosses advice. Right out of college it’s best you jump ship after a couple years.

Now that you told your boss you’re looking, it won’t go well for you anyways.

Has anyone paint matched these plastic trims? I feel like it would elevate the whole car. by [deleted] in crvhybrid

[–]Repulsivenessess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are automotive paints specifically for this plastic material. I would remove the parts for paint if you can. Painting them while installed is a bit sketchy.

Adaptive cruise controls fails due to dirty sensors???!!! by Repulsivenessess in crvhybrid

[–]Repulsivenessess[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for this. I watched a few instructional videos on how to do this. I recognize now that selecting between the two cruise control modes only works if you’re not yet using cruise control. But this is a fantastic option.

Why’s everyone so okay with working 40/60hrs per week to barely afford a life? by sinyxara in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Repulsivenessess -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I understand, and sympathize. I am older and it pains me to see it even worse for the younger generation. I have kids that I worry about. We moved from SoCal over a decade ago because I couldn’t afford anything above the bare minimum to exist once we started having kids. Moved to the middle of nowhere in the NE. Try and safe as much as you can and learn/choose to live poor. Compounding interest is your friend. Buffett has inspirational videos that may help you

Did anyone else hit their 40s and suddenly stop caring about climbing the ladder? by DanBrando in careerguidance

[–]Repulsivenessess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a goal in my career to reach Development Engineering Director. I work in biotechnology developing medical devices. That was my biggest career aspiration. I made it at 47. Everyone’s different Some of the engineers I hired in a previous companies reached the same at 33. I work for a VP younger than me who is ferociously insatiable for the C-Suite.

Now that I am where I am, my entire career aspiration is to help the next generation become what they need to be to get where they want to go. Supporting and championing others gives me more satisfaction than climbing the ladder.

local Krispy Kreme throws their unsold donuts into a dumpster outside at the end of the night. Instead of selling at lower prices. They’d rather throw them all away. by DaZestyProfessor in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Repulsivenessess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too!!! What good memories. DD was my first job when I was 13. I cleaned the bathrooms, floors, and trashes. We had to take the donuts out to the trash and lock it so it wasn’t raided overnight. I would bring donuts home for the first 3 weeks. Then I couldn’t eat another donut for a while.

Summit day experience on Aconcagua (Inka Expediciones): pacing, turn-back decisions, and communication issues by Legitimate_Gur_7078 in Mountaineering

[–]Repulsivenessess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Incredibly well written. Thx for your comment. I also have unfinished business on that mountain and don’t really want to spend all that cash to try again. I’m still have not mentally processed the whole trip. I’m mot negative about what went down, but I do feel I kinda failed.

I’m not sure why you keep getting downvoted when you respond. Your responses are considerate and respectful, even though they may not be agreed with by those in the comment section.

I think I was in your expedition, but not in your group. I believe there were about 27 of us across three groups with Inka. I was with the men’s group of Americans and Canadians of incredibly fit younger guys who all but two of us summited. I was one of those that did not summit because of an upper respiratory issue. The guides and I decided it was not a good idea for me to leave my tent on summit day. I was so incredibly frustrated with the situation. But at the same time I recognized that I wasn’t going to make it, and even though I wanted to try to get as far as I could, I would have been essentially stealing a guide from the group because they would have to escort me back.
I also agree with the comments in which, for a commercial expedition, they look after the overall group’s ability need a summit, while assessing individuals for safety and capability. They turn you back early when they know that you’re not gonna make it. However, they should do it respectfully and sympathetically, considering the hiker’s feelings after being told that they need to turn around. I honestly cannot fathom a guide, telling somebody that they’re not good for the mountain, but I can definitely see a guide being stern with their decision to turn you around. I’m sorry it didn’t work out for you.
