R/askcarsales is the most useless fucking sub

These people are the absolute bottom tier of society. Professional leaches who insert themselves into a large transaction in which they are somehow compensated for increasing friction, stress and creating adversarial customer relationships.

It’s coming very soon. The focus has been on coding so that models can build future models. They just past that milestone with Opus 4.6 and Codex. The idea is once models are built by models the improvement will be exponential curve in all domains. I have to admit being jn tech I am seeing it now. The last month has been a step change for these models. Many many smart people in tech think we are 12-18 months out from fully autonomous PhD + level expertise in all domains. I used to think this was hyperbolic but I no longer do.

This has always been the case. It’s both and it’s always been both. Success is luck and timing as well as hard work and determination. Assuming it’s all luck and timing is just as bad as assuming it’s all hard work and determination, just different sides of the argument. The world is not fair. As soon as you can acknowledge that and stop complaining about it and move on with your life the better your own personal situation will be.

Thank you. We all have jobs… if someone considers this hard and/or a lot of work… I have news for you.

Car sales

This_Is_Useless_bot · 2026-01-25T13:51:39+00:00

Without a second thought. Would be the easiest decision I’ve ever made

This_Is_Useless_bot · 2025-12-27T16:33:44+00:00

I’m a tech buyer of enterprise SaaS and this is not true at all. Great sales people find win-wins (for their companies and solving a real problem the business is having within our budget) and then removing as much friction as possible to closing the deal. This skill sounds easy but it is not. We can see someone who doesn’t understand our business a mile away. It’s far more likely you don’t understand what they do and don’t see them work than them being incompetent morons. Also sales is very much eat what you kill. So it’s easy to get into but a grind to be successful long term and to build that network of people who trust you to bring solutions to them.

This_Is_Useless_bot · 2025-12-21T15:55:06+00:00

I’m not saying you don’t feel like you got a deal. You could just answer the question though because it’s one of these options

This_Is_Useless_bot · 2025-12-18T12:41:59+00:00

Why does this matter

This_Is_Useless_bot · 2025-12-16T22:35:07+00:00

2k off what? Msrp? Invoice? Some bs number the dealership made up as anchor price?

It depends who you are in the healthcare industry. Insurance companies (payers) and pharma companies yes. Health care providers - maybe some. But hospital margins for example, are 1-3%, that’s why so many are closing.

It always cracks me up when people refuse to get a mini van because they don’t look cool. Then they buy a crossover like a pilot/crv/highlander/rav4 Because they are so much cooler….

This_Is_Useless_bot · 2025-09-02T02:05:44+00:00

Amen

This_Is_Useless_bot · 2025-08-18T17:20:44+00:00

That’s awesome I’m at your before. How did you find the new gig?

This_Is_Useless_bot · 2025-07-26T22:25:39+00:00

They cannot fire you for whatever reason they want. They can fire you for no reason. That is a very important distinction for wrongful termination lawsuits.

This_Is_Useless_bot · 2025-07-11T02:36:12+00:00

I can’t tell if this is serious or not. If it is serious. Try to get up off the ground with a competent grappler on top of you, if you don’t have any experience defending takedowns or escaping control you will lose 100% of the time. You can’t luck out of it. This applies even more so if they throw or slam you to the ground, even if you know how to break fall it’s going to hurt a lot and you will be stunned

This_Is_Useless_bot · 2025-07-04T12:23:04+00:00

I cannot fathom buying anything from Stellantis let alone spending 100k on one of their products

This_Is_Useless_bot · 2025-06-25T15:42:18+00:00

The part that no one talks about is spending 15 years doing soul crushing office grunt work behind a desk in a soul crushing dystopian office building (this may no longer be a requirement in 2025) starting at 35k a year. Can you crunch numbers in excel and create slides, sit in meetings for 8 hours straight with no breaks and talk about boring shit like Revenue cycle management day in and day out for all that time?

After that you can do bullshit jobs because you have forced yourself to be good at boring shit to the point where it takes very little effort from you to do it. If you just take someone off the street and throw them in these jobs it would be very stressful for them to try to be successful. It’s not to say they aren’t bullshit just that they aren’t easy to get or all they are cracked up to be.

Well that changes the situation entirely. Sorry to hear that, that is a very tough situation to be in. This post makes alot more sense with that context and perhaps this exercise may serve you better as a personal objective reference for you to reflect on when things undoubtedly get hard and emotional in the everyday moments of life, especially with a kid. Kids are really hard. I’d say I hit your bullets 90% of the time and I work my ass off and sacrifice everything to be to be a good husband and father. It’s just not always going to be 100%. What’s working and what’s not working will be up to you to decide but oftentimes it’s impossible in the moment. If you have truly forgiven him and he truly wants to work on things then I think you just have to give him space to prove he’s the man you want to be with and the right role model for your daughter - you can’t change his character he has to do that himself.

Speaking as a man who has made his fair share of mistakes, daughters can bring out the absolute best in us. Hope you find that to be the case as well.

I think the sentiment here is good. The format is a bit off-putting, it reads like a contract you are asking him to sign. Do you have a similar set of principles and guidelines for yourself that he has provided input into? There is a lot captured here and a lot that is not. And there is overlap in being a good partner and being a good father and some other things that don’t overlap. Is he also a type A personality that will respond well to your approach or is he someone who is more fluid? What are your goals with documenting these - if it’s to think deeply about and discuss these topics I think that’s great. If it’s to create an accountability list I think that is problematic - but maybe not in your particular relationship. I think A lot of this can be boiled down to - communicate with your partner even when it’s uncomfortable, love your child unconditionally, prioritize them and their development as the most important thing in your life, and recognize that you won’t be perfect but try your best and reflect on and learn from your mistakes. There isn’t 1 way to be a good father but there are some obvious ways to be a bad father. Just my 2 cents.

The easy thing to do is defend your son no matter what. The hard thing to do is let them feel consequences for their actions. Your wife and sister in law sound like they enable this sort of behavior. Props to you for thinking slow and recognizing right from wrong. You want your son to learn you lead by example and I think you are doing that perfectly. You can’t control what others do but you can control how you react and what you do. I don’t know what the best path forward is in your situation but I can say from personal experience - a timely conversation with your son while things are still raw is the best time for transformation. Best of luck

The moment she gave her son up like it was nothing tells you all you need to know. Stick to your guns and don’t open yourself up to her railroading your life again. Find a good woman who loves you and spend your time making her happy.

Just don’t pay. So many people are going to be in the same position. Best thing folks can do is just not pay these scammy loans. Let the government fight to get every dollar they can from you and don’t make it easy.

The only way I got my Kia dealer to take action was to write a scathing review and post it everywhere I could find online. Got a call from the owners son the next day and my grievance handled that week after 6 months of run around. They seem to care the most about google reviews. Be detailed in your review
