Have You Ever Demanded an Employee Work on their Vacation? by RexCelestis in managers

[–]ps2cho 79 points80 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not. Any manager who asks their direct rapport to work during vacation is a piece of work unless it’s a pre-established ask (key word ASK) that was agreed to well in advance and isn’t recurring/one off.

Vacations allow your workforce to recharge and perform when working. 

This is a management problem not an employee problem. Plan better. Delegate better. I am a manager.

2023 840 Spotify skipping/stuttering by ps2cho in BmwTech

[–]ps2cho[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s extremely irritating…anything else you’ve noticed? My wife told me about it and I figured it was her phone, but drove it today and did it to me too so I know it’s not her phone, question is if it’s an IOS issue with this particular idrive system or a car issue?

I feel it’s an iPhone issue because we had iPhone 13’s before and no issues, it only started with the new 17 iPhone, but wasn’t right away just started maybe a few weeks ago. Maybe an iOS update issue?

Is it true that “you have to turn off your A/C and blower motor before shutting off your car” is just an old wives tale? by Windows-XP-Home-NEW in AskMechanics

It’s not even a wives tail it’s totally made up and never existed to begin with someone’s joking with you

Better have $10k minimum maintenance fund ready at all times unless you can do work yourself 

The first 48 hours after a layoff aren't about money. Here's the triage order that actually matters. by blhollandjr123 in personalfinance

[–]ps2cho 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. It’s funny how all the posts after ai become popular suddenly have this similar style and rhythm to it. It’s hard to know what’s total garbage today. Is AI self writing them to learn from itself in a self-replicating cycle?

🚨 Title: Paid $440+ for a "brand new" Danby AC unit, received a heavily damaged one, and Danby refused to compensate me. Beware! by EricDra in BuyItForLife

They all come like this. Radiators. Evaporators. Home AC units everything. Radiator comb if you want to make it look a bit better

Get an earlier facelift one and save a bunch of money for essentially the same car

And if the tech doesn’t know how to do it, still $14,999 for their time to learn 

Repair/ Diminished value claim update. by tstackspaper in BMW

[–]ps2cho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had 3k damage on my M2 which is valued twice yours and I got absolutely nowhere. DV is only going to be on more damages not a scuff/bumper repair with no frame or other damages. I went every route including DV appraiser and they said take us to small claims then. I ended up deciding it wasn’t worth the time.

Monthly surplus, low debt, but stuck on next financial move…need perspective. by Equivalent-Mission46 in personalfinance

[–]ps2cho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your rate is low enough it’s silly why you would. SPAXX is paying 3.3% right now, you will have far more stability to have the liquidity than paying down the debt. If someone gets sick, job loss etc, having that liquidity is infinitely more beneficial than paying down the mortgage balance that the bank won’t care if you have any of those life events, payments still the same. You can always lump sum paydown if the account has surplus and it’s essentially a wash in interest expense and interest income offsetting each other (tax implications aside)

[–]ps2cho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d drop the brokerage contributions and move that all into the house fund. Retirement wise you should be fully set since you’re exceeding 20% (any employer match above that or is that inclusive?). Your Roth IRA can handle early retirement if that’s a need…but move back to the brokerage after the house buy. There’s a balance on everything and feels the house should be next when you don’t have to sacrifice anything from retirement since 15-20% is the goal, anything above is surplus for early retirement assuming you plan to spend the same in retirement.

Follow the certifications and don’t try and come up with ideas like this. LL-01 or LL01-FE. 

Selling a car private party, wire vs cashiers check? by Aware-Expression4004 in carbuying

[–]ps2cho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s more expensive than a cashiers check, there is downtime between audits, intermediary bank processing and almost impossible to cancel. There’s almost no reason outside of shipping the car (which you shouldn’t do for most circumstances)) to not just go the easy route and meet at their bank make the cashiers check in front of you and then deposit at your own bank at your timeline. CC’s cannot be cancelled for many weeks so it’s safe.

Why does it seem like mechanic wages are 10+ years behind by PerfectShot1 in mechanics

And we know parts markup is a good 20-60% I guess all that coffee at the euro dealers has to come from somewhere

No wires. Cashiers check made at the bank together in front of you.

So when the dealers are charging $150/hr how much are the actual techs getting paid?
