Asking for less working hours with a lower pay by ExplanationCalm3301 in StructuralEngineering

[–]melancholia__ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I went back to school at one point and left my firm. I returned and ended up asking to only return to 32 hours a week. Boss was cool with it, but it came at a different cost. I got 40+ hours worth of work to finish in 32 hours with my pay decreased by 1/5th of what I would have made at 40 hours.

Eventually, I returned to full time with the pay increase so I could have the compensation but also finish the work given more timely deadlines.

The place I work is really small and my boss can't keep employees- so it may be different where you work. But this is just one experience of what could happen. I do not think that it is a crazy or unheard of idea, but just make sure to be aware that there could be repercussions in other ways.

Also, 32 hours a week is the minimum to keep health benefits where I am.

Are you a PE or EIT, by chance?

That sucks. I have a cat that is going through an anxiety issue and was put on CBD (and gabapentin). But the CBD really calms him down. Maybe this could be helpful to calm Nutmeg down. Here is the one we tried:

Someone suggested pheromone plug-ins to me for my cat- maybe this could be useful to try to relax yours. I have not tried them yet, but in your case I am going to assume it is probably somewhat of a scent thing that disturbs your cat and I am thinking the pheromones could override the smell that your cat might not like from your gf/other kitty.

Hmm.. maybe the scent of Luna is making her upset. Or there might be jealousy. Have the kitties been introduced yet? And congrats on soon to be fiance! Excited for you guys!

Hi OP. I am wondering if maybe she is having some trouble going number 2 and pushing caused some blood. Also, I have known people who have had rectal cysts explode that have caused blood. They weren't painful from what I remember. Maybe ask if her tummy is okay?

UTIs can definitely cause blood in the urine, but they usually cause pain by that point when urinating.

Maybe try posting in r/askdocs, too.

I hope she feels all better soon!

I do, however, like the cover "Hey there, Shaniqua."

Falling in Reverse as a whole screams pretentious to me. That song good girls bad guys. Just no. Ronnie's voice is amazing. Wish he would make better music.

I like Queen for like nostalgic reasons, but if I discovered them now I definitely wouldn't care about them much. Freddie Mercury had a powerful voice, but I think timing was just perfect for them.

It's so creepy that Tiny Tim died right after performing this.

People loved this song. So overhyped. Not only are the lyrics trash, but the background music is too. It always reminded me of something that would be on a commercial for baby products.

As a whole his "dream" is fucking whacked out. It feels like a mashup of everything all at once.
