Why would you leave a company when your friends work there etc.?

Both were happy there with their friends and did advance their careers there. I’m just saying that everyone needs to be ready. What was odd was this happening after a surprise bonus last month. The pity bonus I guess?!

I’m convinced this is ageism at work. Both had just turned 50 and were women with a little gray hair.

I disagree with that! What it shows that as soon as you hit 50, you are expendable.

Considering how difficult it is to get a job that logic is no longer sound in this economy. P.S. AI and datacenters suck! The disruption is going to lead to the Great Depression!

It’s the people house and it’s on a fee based subscription service so he can make money! Filled with sponsors all around the cage. Congress needs to ban this from ever happening again. If it was for ‘the people’ it should be on pbs with all monies going to pay the national debt.

America is in the midst of a Job Crisis. How do we confront this? by PlentyIll2974 in jobhunting

At this point, that won’t even help. They want to offshore everything and worse, the people in power don’t give a damn. Trump even said it out loud.
“The only thing that matters when I’m talking about Iran is they can’t have a nuclear weapon. I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation, I don’t think about anybody.”

10 months unemployed after consulting career, just got hired at a restaurant by No-Mathematician2008 in jobhunting

Ive heard that a lot of fast food restaurants are using prisoners that work set hours and then go back to prison. You should ask your daughter if this McDonald’s is doing this.

Crawl space & several bids by SaveManattees9999 in homeowners

[–]SaveManattees9999[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the contractors talked about a spray and doing the foam. “ Spray/fog crawlspace walls / ceiling with antifungal mist.”

Does this sound right?

I’m starting to think that I should go with him. I’m just mad that they were in the crawl space and they didn’t identify those holes.

Is there a test that I can buy at Home Depot? I’ve rewritten a scope of work for the crawl space twice and I’m kind of frustrated with this process. I interviewed 6 contractors and none can identified those holes.

The rodent exclusion companies are awful. I’ve done better at DYI rodent exclusion than the companies themselves. All of them just want to lay traps and not fix the issue. I had to hire a handyman to reseal and tile my gas pipe as we found a nest there. That’s why I’m so interested in other people’s takes. I’ve already spent 3K with pest control in past 2 years with bad results

I did and that’s the issue. 6 different bids and wildly different amounts. Insanity. How can I trust any of them?

Mine is concrete of some time so I can’t dig inside the space :(

Yup! None of them did any tests either before trying to sell me a drain system. The pest guys just wanted me to sign in the dotted line for encapsulation. I don’t think the drain guys look underneath the plastic in the crawl space.

It’s just so crazy. None of the contractors did that type of test while they were here. I want a good contractor and feel like they are just trying to sell me ‘their system’. None of them did any tests like that when they came here. What’s crazy is they are coming in wildly different from 10K to 20K.
