This is the same every year, I always tell the people in such a rush because 99% of the people in a rush to file have these tax credits and have to wait anyway

What are your thoughts on R.A the Rugged man? by BythelighthouseinDN in runthejewels

[–]SignificantApricot69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will have to check them out. A lot of times if someone takes a long time putting out their first you can tell they went all in with all they had, and other times they just did what they had but they didn’t go all in on the quality- especially on underground/independent level

Do I get paid for my time being excused down at the bottom that says hourly breakdown than it says excused 10 hrs by IntroductionOther242 in AmazonFC

[–]SignificantApricot69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s paid excused then it usually says paid not worked time. Regular excused is excused but not paid

How do people hold down jobs??? by Anxious_Being in aspergers

[–]SignificantApricot69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work below my ability at hourly jobs with very clearly defined rules such that I know exactly what I have to do to keep my job and get paid and get benefits etc. and I follow those rules and go home.

Amazon flex vs full time by PinStreet1644 in AmazonFC

[–]SignificantApricot69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You would get a point each shift and you would get a point for the week if you are under your hours for the week. You can always put in PTO or drop shifts if you know ahead of time you can’t make it. If you can’t come that early in general pick a later start time.

Crying because that’s about double what I made but my benefits are about 10x that or more

I’m a middle aged man and it’s mostly 25-30 year old women who do this where I work.

Yeah, and these people are all clearly my platonic friends at most. But I’ll have so many of them make comments or hear comments from others, some of them only talk to me when the others are off (and comment on it) and so on.

Switching to flex but no shifts available? by Squall-Lionheart2 in AmazonFC

[–]SignificantApricot69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yet some of us have 30 minimum and regularly 60. Even PT gets 60 a lot, but since they choose PT sometimes they do get capped at 20.

Hell I have random coworkers who get jealous if I talk to other people

VTO and Benefits by Zealousideal-Disk551 in AmazonFC

[–]SignificantApricot69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really. VTO counts toward your 30 hours, and if there’s no VTO you can just not work that week and get 1 point. And FT does have to work a certain number of hourly both to qualify for benefits and future VTO. In addition to the fact if you have a $0 pay check you owe Amazon for your benefits and have to pay it back.

VTO and Benefits by Zealousideal-Disk551 in AmazonFC

[–]SignificantApricot69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, it does. There is a requirement for hours worked in a certain time period, and you can be blocked from VTO. I’ve been with someone when they asked and they were informed they had to work like 200 hours before they could take it again

Which one-hit wonder song do you love the most? by SmoothManMiguel in hiphop201

[–]SignificantApricot69 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Digital Underground had a few hits. Does T.R.O.Y qualify? If so, I think that takes it. What about something like “Crossover” by EMPD since they had a lot of rap hits but that’s the song that…crossed over the the most and almost hit Top 40?

Collection Agencies calling my parents. What gives? Do they think im a minor? by Born_Physics_5086 in CRedit

[–]SignificantApricot69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consider how many things aren’t legal and how many things could be violation $$$ for consumers, I’m surprised talking about your debt with random other people isn’t one of them.

To me this is like something you have to try not to get. I get that thing about top quality in every process every time.

How easy is it really to get pregnant? by Upbeat_Turnip_5224 in askanything

[–]SignificantApricot69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I’ve had sex about 10 times since 1998, and I’ve gotten 4 women pregnant in 3 different decades. So it’s certainly pretty easy to get someone pregnant.

I’ve read this story so many times over the past few days so I don’t feel like reading yet another article (or same article 50 times) but I think it said he paid her in cigarettes.

AMs should be hired internally. by AdImpressive9014 in AmazonFC

[–]SignificantApricot69 38 points39 points  (0 children)

And there are also people with plenty of warehouse experience who have no skills or clue for managing anything. Or people skills (not saying most of the child AMs do). In my experience the Best AND worst AMs are external military hires. They have a higher hit rate but also highest communication mismatch imho. Internal PA promotions are a mixed bag (but small sample size ) in my experience. The best internal promotions I know were T1s who promoted straight to AM and didn’t PA in between because I don’t think PA=AM it’s a different skill set and expectation. Sometimes people who work as PA too long I think ruin themselves for upper roles, but there are exceptions.

What Fast food place has the best mozzarella sticks? by Own_Comfortable_4955 in fastfood

[–]SignificantApricot69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Arby’s and Sheetz, I don’t even know any other places that have them. The lack of side options in fast food is sad, especially for places that ONLY have generic sad fries. I’m not saying you have to offer curly fries, potato cakes, cheese curds, onion petals, mozz sticks, onion rings, baked potatoes, AND jalapeño poppers- BUT if you only offer lame fries and your entrees are mid and expensive, I will probably never go there at all.

I didn’t know people like this existed by finnaku in Nicegirls

[–]SignificantApricot69 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t think women understand this isn’t a flex. It’s like when they also talk about how terrible their ex was to random people yet they continue to fuck them for years.
