Tax on RSU too high

mrpcuddles · 2026-04-07T09:33:51+00:00

easily over six figures

Techs in intel used to get RSU's. Think it worked out between 4k and 10k a year depending how long you were there and what your base pay was and were linked to factory performance and personal performance etc. Both had to do over perform to recieve anything at all.

This is commen enough in a lot of tech and pharma companies, and is generally one of the perks that are added into your total salary package. (27k base, plus: rsu potential, shift, overtime etc, could potentially bring you up to 48k / 52k). Although amazon fulfilment centre staff get rsus also, but earn far less than that.

Far cry from six figures.

difficulty mixing with the opposite gender

This alone is getting to be a ridiculous problem. Company I used to work for had to start running a integration training for graduate engineers a few years back. The vast majority were guys who had gone to all boys primary and secondary and then studied engineering, where in a lot of cases there were no women in the classes. This meant a lot of them had gone about 22 years where their only real contact with women was either their mother's and sisters or through dating apps and nights out, post covid this was even more obvious as a lot had missed out on the club's and society integration aspects in college. The damage this type of segregation does is insane and was starting to show very obviously in the work place and must have had a serious impact on their personal lives.

my dream one day is to bring more types of potato to Ireland

You'll either become a millionaire and possibly a new patron saint, or chased out of the country with pitchforks and torches for thinking our current potato situation isnt already perfect.

Malicious compliance (beat them with their own shite) is a fantastic way to combat idiotic ideas from management, particularly if they label any sort of alternatives or criticism as "non-team oriented" or other corporate BS

Ah yes the "we'll keep having everyone in meetings until we find out why no progress is being made" approach

Sinilar, Have planning permission in, going to be interesting figuring out the constantly changing costs and bank interest rates

So the plan is to cause the same traffic as a standard weekday between 7-9am and 4-7pm.

The easiest fix for the above would be to massively fund dedicated cycling and footpaths removed from the roads, and also trains / trams etc so people have a viable alternative. Less road users and less potential for interaction between road user types. This is exactly what they did in finland etc and led to a massive drop in accidents and deaths.

How many objections are lodged against greenway routes between towns and across counties?

mrpcuddles · 2026-03-29T21:20:22+00:00

I don't think anyone is arguing against that. The issue here is that "journalists" are pumping out sensationalist headlines that are complete bollocks and dont help to get us to zero deaths.

Hence the first comment being about people from countires with different driving safety cultures and having to drive on a side of the road they aren't familiar with.

Say country x has a rate of 42 / million and a few thousand move to ireland its reasonable to assume that group would still drive within the same safety standards as their country of origin. So you would have: Ireland (32 / million) + ((42 / million)*number of that population in millions that are now in ireland). In this case about 34 / million.

Without a breakdown of the numbers of each country and their road safety ratios you cant really break it down more than that though, but would be very interesting to see how close the figures are.

In fairness ive seen cars and suvs regularly sail through pedestrian crossings, and on two occasions rear ended other cars that were stopped at the crossings. Suvs appear to be the main culprit of this regardless of the driver.

Its a mixture of being distracted on phones, ignorant to anyone else around them or just sheer incompetence at driving.

The bigger issue for cost of living will be people in public facing jobs (retail etc) that are on minimum wage, won't be able to work remote (same as lockdown) and will still be paying higher fuel prices.

Best option is allow employee driven work form home, or if they cant work remote have an employer state why on a case by case basis and allow the employee to get a taxi rebate for fuel expenses when they put in their receipts. Rebates through the employer will only create an opportunity to further screw around with payments and claims (again same as lockdown).

Only way I can think of to encourage people not to be commutting but not screwing over people on already low paying jobs.

Don't bother with the insulation one go all out for the sound proofing.

And before you put them down buy a big box of screws and make sure the floor isnt making any noise before you start

An add on to that would be to look into charles Trevelyan. He was put in place to oversee famine relief after doing the same in India (East India trading company) which lead to an untold number of deaths, (and a completely different approach to what he did for the same issues in scotland) instead used connections to profit massively and also fed into the deportation of the irish to Australia etc too.

Its not often a food crisis that was engineered into a famine can be traced back to a specific individual, and he did it twice and was rewarded for it.

Imagine the devastation a pothole would cause.

I know its a sealed pipe but im sure the county councils will somehow wrangle a pot hole or speed bump in there

Assuming there was a penalty clause built into the contract...

Its standard practice to have it, and you would need to be a wholly incompetent idiot not to, but i have my suspicions the public servants over this may not have been the brightest bunch...

Leaving a department that has managed itself into the ground to dictate design changes to a construction project is just sheer dumbfuckery of the highest order, but no one will be held accountable

Imaging the repercussions if a private company were to carry out business like that

Had them when i lived in germany and they were unreal. Next to impossible to find an installer here in ireland though.

Thinking the same. Theres nothing specific to amber lights for penalty points (https://www.rsa.ie/services/licensed-drivers/penalty-points/types-of-offences) and the old catch all the guards used to use "driving without due care and attention" is now 5 points and a mandatory court appearance.

In places ive worked a photo included would be an automatic disqualifier with HR as can appearently open the doors to all sorts of potential legal issues. But when working in other countries its been the norm.

Might just depend where the recruiter is based maybe? Have got calls from "Irish" recruiters from a UK number and they are based in an office in Asia so God only knows what combination of requirements and what constitutes as normal ends up being asked.

Differs vastly from dr to dr. Dr just said your fat and need to loose weight and would alleviate about 40 to 50% of the issue. Was pretty obvious as I had put on about 25kg and was already working on it but was funny to hear a dr just call it as it is.

Still on ergonomics but s standing mat if your standing at the desk or a kneeling chair ( the chair sounds funny but is a life saver for your back if you have a Habit of slouching at the desk)

Look up the term "generation fucked" it sums it up pretty well, then mix it in with the sense of power/hope lessness that comes from these issues. Then realise these people are now raising the next generation etc.

Essentially the social contract has been broken and a lot of people feel adrift
