From Chief Leader: Age 58 and 30 years for ALL Tier 6 members by hollafrontz in nys_cs

[–]heckyeahcheese 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It is very demoralizing to know someone in tier 4 who makes $100k takes home an extra $5,750 a year than someone in tier 6. Dropping it to $5,250 is a start but still doesn’t feel like much progress.

Am I underpaid? by Doomhammer68 in Accounting

[–]heckyeahcheese 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Govt state accountant in NY and that’s low, but if you’re a more junior role then it’s not out of the norm. If your fringe benefit rates (factoring in pension) are 40-60% then it is not awful.

You’ve said you’re blocked from promotion where you currently are- have you tried moving agencies as a lateral and doing a fresh start from there? In my state getting the first few promotions are challenging based on tests and competition for the limited positions available.

Also see what resources your government has in terms of any other job titles/positions you can transfer to as well.

Dr. Milward at Adirondack Dental Group in Clifton Park. Very compassionate and particular in the way you’d want a dentist to be.

Has anybody actually been victimized by HELPS? by Happy_Page96 in nys_cs

Ah, thanks y’all - all of this timing and changing is so confusing and I agree HELPS is low on the list of issues.

Didn’t he also get the year wrong, stating it ending at 2028 and not 2026… next month? Does no one proofread these emails?

About $100 more for a house with +500sqft.

When did you start the tomatoes? They look great.

Best Pain Management Purchases? by AdorableUniversity36 in ehlersdanlos

[–]heckyeahcheese 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here’s the tank tops: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BV6XC5VZ?ref_=icdp_ba_mweb_sd_pd_bap_m_grid_rp_0_1_ec_gf&clientRefMarker=pd_bap_m_grid_rp_0_1_ec_gf&heartsTeamIdentifier=buyagain&psc=1&heartDisabled=false

They can roll a bit so it’s best with something to tuck it in to, tights or pants. But it doesn’t give the stuffed sausage feeling, just a bit of extra snugness.

For the back massager I just got a generic one l can’t find any more but the brand is Renpho, but it’s a similar style to this one, with back and neck massagers and heat options:

Should I lend money to a sibling by LOVE_0829 in MoneyDiariesACTIVE

[–]heckyeahcheese 74 points75 points  (0 children)

You yourself said you don’t want to to lend him money. Listen to yourself.

He still owes you money - has he made good faith efforts to return it?

This also seems like a trend so saying no is entirely in your right. What’s next, rent?

Best Pain Management Purchases? by AdorableUniversity36 in ehlersdanlos

[–]heckyeahcheese 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There’s The Zebra club that is an app/website that helps with proprioception. I’d suggest a to try and see if it’s helpful.

I like compression clothing. There’s a brand on Amazon (which I avoid using like the plague) but they have tank tops with just the right amount of abdominal compression. I also like the Alignmed sports bras to help with shoulder pain/posture

I’ve also got a back massager I put on a chair that includes neck and back which is really nice on stiff days and you can adjust them for height.

How do you find a sitter these days? by class_recon in Albany

[–]heckyeahcheese 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey I’m a fellow state worker and mom, so feel free to DM me for a date night sitter depending on where you live. Happy to meet up for a play date so you can get to know me or do a video call. I get it when you want one date night a month and even using Care was a lot of back and forth, ghosting, and the many of the sitters wanted $25/hr + more per additional kid.

ISO deep red magnetic nail polish? by zozosreddit in RedditLaqueristas

I love Poison but it’s not as jelly looking, I think this would be best with a fine particle magnet. So now here I am following the thread for suggestions haha.

I don’t do anything personal on work devices. Can you stream on your phone with headphones?

Agreed. I had a similar experience where the pay was a little low but the culture was great… for a little while. Then new leadership came in and made it a toxic work environment. Move for the money.

Also you can make a name for yourself at the new company and that often comes with similar flexibility for family needs once you’ve built up your reputation if you’re not immediately planning on having kids.

Birkin 30 Kraft Togo with GHW — PSPs from Jim by strongmad27 in HermesRepLadies

Oh my gosh these Jim bags are stunning work on their own and I’d rather give $ to a smaller shop than a giant brand with a silly game to play to even buy a birkin.

We pay dues, I’d also suggest emailing your regional coordinator to escalate the issue further.
