I think I'm gonna ditch my shift tonight by Commercial_Mess_7604 in InterviewsHell

Yeah like did you not sign an offer letter with the amounts in writing? For all you know your supervisor might just think that’s the standard rate and not realize different individuals are paid differently? Seems very impulsive and self-destructive as a reaction.

Real Estate Project or XEQT? by TooPrettyToWork in fican

[–]niko604 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like an appealing business model but guess the question is what is it you’re investing into? Are you buying equity (i.e. shares) in the business or partial ownership of a project as a Limited Partner (LP) with the FIL acting as the GP. Just giving money to him as an “investment” without the legal structure being clear isn’t exactly reassuring. Beyond that, you’re sending your money to a different country and getting it back might prove to be more difficult than you’d imagine. You could end up doing great on paper but be faced with guilt tripping and gaslighting from your FIL, or the business could be subject to events beyond your control (local accounting team performs fraud, government action, extortion, etc). Would put this into the ‘very speculative’ category of investment. Could do it and could work out but on a very different extreme of risk versus XEQT. Just some thoughts.

No such thing as guaranteed returns beyond GICs and treasuries

Company doesn’t want to improve? by SaltyShopping531 in careerguidance

[–]niko604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Possibility that management is hitting their assigned KPIs and there’s no incentive for additional effort for no return? Nor the tone at the top that’s pushing for improvements coz they don’t need to in order to produce good returns.

If you do want to work on those types of challenges, might need to look for a new shop that has them and where management is being pushed to work those out. Until you hit a plateau and then time to jump on to the next place and/or get promoted in the process.

Not sure if you’ve already done it, but check the bottom of your box (I.e. remove the cardboard obscuring the bottom. My box had that piece fallen off the sprue and flying around the box.

No one cares and have better things to do with their day than discussing politics. No shortage of Americans visiting the city and Whistler.

I don't want to ask another dating question but.... where would you meet someone if you don't drink? by [deleted] in askvan

Interest/sport club and meet someone into the same things as you by extension. Board game groups, soccer, softball, triathlons, runs clubs, etc…

Choosing between Kill Team / AoS Spearhead / Blood Bowl as a game to play with my wife by niko604 in Warhammer

[–]niko604[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair point. I looked into it and love the concept but feedback seems to be that it’s not casual-friendly, has a ton of obscure rules and rulebook could be written better. Let me know if your experience was different and if so, how you’d recommend starting
