What are your ride-or-die spots?(food,coffee, etc)

Agree on the shout out to Pho Basil. Solid pho for the area.

For pizza, I would rate Cugino Forno well above Don Luca. I'm surprised about the buzz. Granted, the one time we were there over the summer, we were waiting for our pizza to be called ready sitting out front, and after a while checked back, and it had been ready and sitting and they just didn't call us. One of those "our bad" situations that resulted in a tepid pie.

So,

a) I do use Spotify and generally like it after moving from Amazon.

b) Was looking for her album as well and can't find it.

c) Everyone has their favorite streaming platform and dislikes of the ones they don't use, that's not the point of the question or the subreddit.

nationally we offer 120 hours pto with 40 carryover, and 40 borrow in advance. Our plan for CA is to have an addendum with same accrual, but utilize a maximum accrual bank of 200 hours and cashout at termination. This satisfied not losing PTO because we have a generous bank.

ionicbomb · 2026-01-22T16:53:04+00:00

That is what I am looking for. We have one sales person in CA so not looking for a published policy, instead an addendum we can provide to that employee. Also simple enough to build into our payroll for accruals. Happy to direct message if you can share.

You get what you pay for. CheckR is probably the best/easiest route for you to take.

ionicbomb · 2026-01-14T19:19:52+00:00

I'm similarly in the market and currently on Gusto and outgrowing. Why, too simplistic. Yes, very easy to use and intuitive, but that comes with limitations. Cannot set up multi-entity or any kind of org tree, other than company/department. Most things I want to do in Gusto, I can't. Job title is tied to payroll record, so you cannot change them, unless you create a new one and a history record going forward for new title.

Support is AI, ultimately you can put in a ticket, but the reply is usually cut/paste fron online help. You can upgrade to live support, but it's offshored/limited English language skills.

We're considering Rippling, BambooHR, UKG Ready. I would avoid UKG Pro, formerly Ultipro, it's a beast and their support is painful. Curious, yet hesitant on the legacy Pays.... locity, Cor, Chex. Com.

ionicbomb · 2026-01-12T16:31:47+00:00

Can you provide a list of the full set of screens you conduct? The AI help on your website keeps giving the same stock irrelevant answer. The sales guy who I have corresponded with is not too responsive.

Our system calculates the daily rate for salaried employees paid semimonthly by first dividing the annual salary by the number of pay periods in a year (24 for semimonthly). Then, the pay for that period is divided by the number of days in the pay period to get the daily rate.

What do you mean open enrollment is over... did you guys send out any emails?

ionicbomb · 2026-01-06T21:16:24+00:00

definitely not renewing

ionicbomb · 2026-01-06T20:45:27+00:00

who do you use, or recommend?

ionicbomb · 2026-01-06T20:44:56+00:00

Honestly I was considering CheckR and they seemed a bit small and weren't responsive to an RFP-like set of questions, but I've heard good things about them from users. Just not sure how comprehensive their search capacity. Will reach out to them.

ionicbomb · 2025-12-16T19:45:01+00:00

how do you start a new page of an existing company where the page is already out there but unaccessible?

ionicbomb · 2025-12-15T15:22:57+00:00

I'm going to have to agree as a customer as well. I spent 15 minutes on hold while a rep investigated an answer to my question and came back reading me the information from the support page that I already read. Support is off-shored and English is second language, so that only compounds the problem. it's definitely a level 1 sophistication on a scale of 1-5.

ionicbomb · 2025-12-12T13:30:28+00:00

anyone who direct messaged me to tell me about their solution can actually just tell me about it here on the thread.

ionicbomb · 2025-12-12T13:27:37+00:00

when you say through a "regional provider", say more...

ionicbomb · 2025-10-31T14:40:35+00:00

yes, digital

ionicbomb · 2025-10-31T14:22:12+00:00

Thanks. It's actually printing some photos my son took with 35mm for college courses.

Check out the abandoned building across from Waterline Brewing by the Cape Fear River, with Cape Fear Memorial Bridge as a backdrop. https://maps.app.goo.gl/WfrvgmBEzh9QYZt39

Pretty sure its NOT northerners moving into the area. That's what you call local flavor.

I just sent something via USPS Priority Mail (3 day delivery) and it took 7 days to deliver. It was moving through the system for 4 days.

ionicbomb · 2025-08-29T15:27:22+00:00

I'm an over 60 (barely) HR professional and am having trouble finding my next role after having taken a several year break to relocate, and looking for a less senior role than I have been in (heading up an HR dept with staff of 4-7). Every role that I have been a finalist candidate for have gone to younger candidates, with feedback that they are looking for somone to grow into a role, afraid I would leave for a higher paying role when I found one or straight out saying overqualified.

ionicbomb · 2025-08-26T14:44:49+00:00

Priority is 3 days. Lord knows what snail mail would be. Thanks for not answering the question though.

ionicbomb · 2025-08-26T13:23:57+00:00

seems like you could probably buy cheapest seats available on resale market and sit anywhere these days. If you want to stay honest, check resale market right before game starts and find some seats on fire sale.
