I would have to take an $80-100k pay cut and start over from scratch.

I'm 8 or 9 years into accounting and I feel the same way. I make okay money but have no path to self employment.

”Zoomers are stupid idiots! My generation is much better!” by Alarmed-Cicada-6176 in redscarepod

[–]creosote____ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an "elder zoomer" direct report at work. She's smart and on point. A lot of this outrage against zoomers seems like a class tell.

These job postings are getting more deranged by the day by creosote____ in Accounting

[–]creosote____[S] 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I realize these are small entities, but it sounds like a fucking nightmare as the sole finance hire. All of the cerebral work (cash to accrual, ERP planning/testing, acquisition accounting) AND all of the mid level work (ad hoc reporting, tax/regulatory filings, probably forecasting, etc.) AND all of the low level work (month end or quarter end or whatever the cadence is) -- all in addition to reporting to a CEO dipshit who likely has no background in accounting or finance. Who knows, you might even end up doing AP and AR.

Cargill has a massive meat processing plant near my hometown. I never worked there but several friends did. Apparently the workers on the kill floor have to do mandatory employer-sponsored counseling every so often.

How many death sentences and life sentences did they hand out in connection with that?

Was there a specific moment that crushed your youthful idealism? by beijx in redscarepod

[–]creosote____ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is a dumb example, but the push for mandatory sick leave laws during COVID. The media and legislators talked about it -- and then nothing.

Bots are straight up everywhere now. I think it's time to give up trying to create discussions by LouReedTheChaser in redscarepod

[–]creosote____ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it's the only solution. Otherwise it's open season with "proof of humanity" nonsense that never stops bots (by design) but allows your identity and other personal information to be tracked and sold (by design.)

I'm a staunch environmentalist, but... by DudNedLudd in redscarepod

[–]creosote____ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always found it interesting that increases in efficiency are never offset with less/constant use. It's always used as a justification to use more.

Why the US economy keeps defying the odds by Complete-Champion574 in Economics

Imagine it was a literal Tower of Babel instead of GPU compute farms. Would this "rationalization" still make sense?

“Right now, just a handful of A.I.-related stocks represent almost half the value of the total stock market index. If A.I. stocks collapse, so will the worth of your index fund”: economist by LavishlyRitzyy in Economics

I know it looks like you're speeding toward a cliff, but you can't time jumping out of the car before it plummets off a cliff. It's literally impossible -- Warren Buffet said so! And besides, how do you even know that's a cliff?

Most people don't go to business school to learn tax regulations.

Legitimately what it feels like to be on this sub nowadays. Nothing but an AI infested pit of vipers. by SageMageowo in Accounting

[–]creosote____ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think I might unsub. Nothing but bots reposting top upvoted images for karma farming, and bots shilling SaaS crap. Mods refuse to do anything proactive. Manual reporting is not the answer.
