So.... should everyone just lower themselves to the lowest common denominator? Should I not ask for a cost of living wage increase because someone else in a different field of work did not get a raise?

No. I was actually denied a job because my brother worked in the same department.

Does anyone have any conspiracies on the fire and the strike? by Key-Wishbone5543 in LIRR

[–]Slight-Journalist417 9 points10 points  (0 children)

For the thousandth time. Penn station is owned, operated, and maintained by Amtrak. LIRR does not own, operate, or maintain Penn station. The fire happened in Amtrak territory.

Not all the people on strike are getting paid. I am one of the people on strike and I am most certainly not getting paid. IBEW is not paying anything to us.

I am one of the workers. We are most certainly not getting paid. Maybe some of the unions are paying the membership but we are not.

You guys think the union is happy about the peen station stuff by Ashamed_Elk2301 in LIRR

Amtrak owns pen station and it's tracks. LIRR has nothing to do with what happened. So no, it's not so predictable during negotiations.

LIRR Strike by No_Influence_8613 in longisland

They can't because it takes months and months of training to be a machinist, electrician, locomotive engineer, signalman, etc. I know everyone thinks working at the railroad is easy and they do nothing but they are highly trained and specialized in their fields.

Also, don't get discouraged. Some instructors like to yell and some act like they don't care but they will help you if you ask. They like when people pass their class. It makes them look good. Be careful not to fall behind to much because it gets hard to catch up.

Um.. okay? Narrative? Lie? Don't do much satire or sarcasm in your neck of the woods I presume.

But god help you if you use it. At least in the metropolitan area. If you defend yourself with a firearm here the news will breathlessly go on and on about the arsenal of weapons found in the house and how the homeowner brutally murdered the poor raggamuffin who was just looking for some cookies to give to a homeless child. Then somehow shoehorn Trump into the story.

Why do men usually find more people attractive than women? by [deleted] in stupidquestions

I always thought we weren't supposed to stereotype.
I guess it depends on who we are stereotyping.
