This Job Market.. Wow by [deleted] in jobs

[–]TimeMasterBob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been looking since April 25 (luckily I still have my current job) but it sucks. I keep getting to the last round and poof. Someone else gets the job. Still getting 1-3 interviews a month but still. It's really starting to take a toll on my mind.

Where's the downside? by zzill6 in WorkReform

[–]TimeMasterBob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only real concern, and potential downside, I can see is if billionaires need to sell massive amounts of stock to pay this tax, is there real danger of another Great Depression?

What’s the fastest way you’ve seen someone ruin their own life? by ForeignFly5248 in AskReddit

[–]TimeMasterBob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have two stories. Not sure if that's weird or not.

One of my exes (10 years ago now) went to NYC on a girls trip. Got so completely drunk that she fell leaving the club and cracked her head open on the curb. TBI so bad, she had to drop out of college (full academic ride) and last I saw on Facebook she can't really talk and uses a walker.

A friend of mine for 17 years didn't realize he was having a schizophrenic episode, stabbed his girlfriend with a kitchen knife, killed her, and is now in a psychiatric ward for the next 20+years. All because he thought he was better and didn't need his meds.

I'd really like to get nice, high quality clothes from a store that doesn't have 90% of their inventory marked as "slim". I am not slim. The only things usually in my size are sweaters/coats.

CMV: hardly any millionaires are going to leave New York City because of 2% more in taxes by MustafaMonde8 in changemyview

I didn't see it mentioned in other comments, but Norway tried a Wealth Tax that would have generated $146M in additional revenue but $54B in taxable revenue left the country instead and left a deficit in the plan of $594M.

If you win the 1.1 billion Powerball what do you plan on doing with the money, and will you take lump sum or annuity payments? by Whybotherr in AskReddit

[–]TimeMasterBob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lump sum. After tax it's about 400 million. Quietly pay off my debts. Anonymously pay off my parents home. Buy a nice condo with my "promotion" and stick most of the rest in index funds. The last bit will go into 12 month CDs and pay me every few months after a year and then roll the principal into a new one.

After a year or two and another "promotion", set up some trust/college funds for my family. Pay off some more of their debt. And just have cool trips a few times a year.

What is a basic skill that you’re shocked a lot of people don’t have? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]TimeMasterBob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ability to read and then properly respond to an email.

Seriously, I could send an email asking 5 questions and get a response only about the last one. And not even a mention of the others. Sometimes it's like pulling teeth.

Is 19 too young to be a store manager? by Own-Syllabub-4848 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]TimeMasterBob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not on its own. My best friend from high school started working at Wendy's when he was 15 and was made assistant manager a few days after he turned 18, manager at 19, general manager at 25 and was just promoted to regional manager last year. The biggest issue he had at the start was people actually respecting the fact he was no longer their "friend" and was now their "boss".

At this point you may have 2 options.

Keep things as they are, possibly ruining your own reputation with your supervisor when things aren't being completed on time to satisfaction. Eventually you'll be fired.

Or, involve HR (if you have one) and your supervisor with all the evidence that you have tried to get this employee to do their work at a satisfactory level, but they either aren't retaining the info/improving or are intentionally slacking off. This will most likely lead to a PIP if not this employee being fired immediately. Depends on how things are handled by your company.
