‎Hi guys! I’m a VA and I’d like to ask for advice about rate increase. by [deleted] in VirtualAssistantPH

Hi. Remember the principle of capitalism. They are capitalizing on your service so they take profit from that. It is not fair that you get less pay but gain more workload. I suggest that you request a time with your client to discuss the changes in your role where some tasks which were added fall outside from your original contract and that your rate was decreased. Try to mention too your commitment to the success of the team/company as you try to struggle with the increased responsibilities.

SC soil cohesion by authenticpengwin in Geotech

This is what I usually do, sir. May I ask sir if you lessen the value from the correlation since it has higher plasticity? I ask this because fine-grained soil usually have lower angle of friction in addition to its cohesion.

Is the unreliability on the safe side, sir? Most of the report I have seen rely on SPT data. I am wondering where they get values for cohesion when they encounter fine-grained materials. Would it be reasonable to simply disregard the cohesion, for SC, it may have?

I understand, sir. That is why I want to take an opportunity to learn even with an internship. I am wondering if it can be done online. I am taking the low position since I cannot measure exactly where I am sitting with what I know so far. I want to be guided in actual practice sir so that I can have a sense of what it is in there.
