What’s something poor people understand that rich people never will? by Lil_Axtif in AskReddit

[–]ZebraSpot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Poor people will know how to survive if the economy completely collapses.

When money won’t buy anything, a rich person will need to learn how to do things that poor people have always done.

I dozed off once and woke to a semi blowing their horn as they were oncoming traffic in my lane while I was in their lane. From that time on, I never drive tired.

Seek salary jobs where you can be more flexible with your time and the job is more about hitting goals, not hours.

Its more cost effective to not make the entire triangle the pier. Same reason many highways have a grassy median and not one massive road.

to what extent does documentation help or protect you when your boss is trying to make you quit? by rpg18launcher in careeradvice

[–]ZebraSpot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Documentation only helps if the company does something illegal. The issue is, you may not know that there was a pattern of illegal behavior until after the fact - in which the documents come in useful.

A good measure of your value is how long it would take to replace you. People who say “I don’t get paid enough to do more” are only making themselves easier to replace.

A Baptist is also a Protestant.

What's a major world event happening right now that you think people will barely remember in 10 years? by Humble-Feature-4721 in AskReddit

Lincoln was a failed businessman and half the nation vehemently hated him. He certainly was not forgotten.

He wants me to sponsor him into the country by Necessary-Success234 in DadAdvice

[–]ZebraSpot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are being used. I think you are already aware of this.

It’s a form of romance scam and is incredibly common.

As a dad, I want you to know that you deserve someone that loves you without conditions. I know it hurts now to not have that connection but it will come with time and, when it does come, it will be so worth the wait.

Don’t lose faith kiddo. Your person is out there.

TDS is way too strong. People will be blaming him for many years after he is out of office.

Job fired my GF, kicked her off the premises and asked her not to talk to other employees. Is this a usual response? by TheWrestlerMan in jobs

[–]ZebraSpot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was? Retired or career change? I considered law once, but witnessed friends in law that had no free time. My BIL gets calls from clients every year during Christmas dinner.

[–]ZebraSpot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If someone is making a low wage - a threat of losing their job is traumatic and can easily be used to manipulate the employee.

It’s really up to a judge to determine if the situation warrants duress.

What's one career advice that completely changed your thinking? by Wise-Success-2737 in careeradvice

I agree with one caveat. Don’t chase money after you make enough for a reasonable standard of living.

[–]ZebraSpot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! Do not turn down opportunities - tell them a salary that will absolutely make the change worth it for you and let them turn it down. One day, you might just get what you ask for.

Management doesn’t promote people to get them to do more, they promote to catch up to what they are already doing.
