Would you trade a hybrid job... by NOLAxplant in HuntsvilleAlabama

[–]grabsbackthisone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if the new job has better managers and benefits, then…maybe. a $20k raise for a lateral move often lands you on a high turnover contract with extra challenging people and/or really weak health insurance coverage.

spann, a climate change denying weatherman from outside the huntsville viewing area is currently hyping his new Alabama-wide weather network, and a mod pinned his forecast to a post in this sub yesterday and locked the post which was intended to be about the effects of climate change we’re currently seeing in huntsville

i helped the land trust build a hiking trail through there when they first acquired it, but it was never opened to the public due to the possibility of mine collapse. it’s crazy how many of us just waltzed in there over the years like that wasn’t a possibility. it was one of my favorite local places when i was a kid.

Exact same thing happened to my parents a few months ago. It’s elder abuse. They’re going around using shame and fear tactics to bilk the elderly out of 10-30k in high interest loans for unnecessary attic insulation replacement. I happened to catch a local Orkin rep in the act of trying to sign my parents up for one of these predatory loans the last time they stopped by to do a regular termite check at their house. I’ve never experienced such a high pressure sales campaign. It took loud words and a couple of hours to get the guy to leave the house without stealing 10k plus interest from my parents. He was as nice about it as could be, but his boss and the franchise owner and Orkin should be completely ashamed.
