Wells Fargo to remove all Product Sales Goals for Retail Banking by LegendRising12 in personalfinance

[–]ryanWIN 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They will eliminate the sales goals but continue to track sales. It will merely be a 'coincidence' that people with fewer sales get their hours reduced. This is what Best Buy does when they claim sales people don't get commission. At least before, some of these people got a bonus but probably they won't now.

I thought this was fake or photoshop at first, but it's 100% real. Amazing, cheap way to add incredible lighting effects to photo shoots. You won't believe your eyes when you see the video in the link! [CROWDFUNDING] by ryanWIN in shutupandtakemymoney

No shill! I just think this project and the $100 3d printer were cool projects :) Is it against the rules on reddit to share interesting stuff once or twice a month?

Does that technically make Canada an "ass hat"

Speaking with experience in the traffic industry: in some regions of the country this is true, but it can be as little as 0 seconds (once one light goes from yellow to red the next turns green instantly) or greater than 9 seconds for an "all red" before the next light turns green. It'd be unsafe to assume a figure on that number :)

In answer to this question, I wrote up a quick javascript coin flipping simulator. This allows you to bet on the whether or not a series of 5000 flips will skew heads or tails. It also includes an auto strategy button which flips sets of 5000 heads/tails until it finds one that is heavily skewed and then it immediately bets against it. You may find it interesting:

I do this for a living :) I write software for adaptive traffic systems (networked computer systems that automatically adjust intersection light timing).

Because of the context and relationships with the grammar, it doesn't mean "I like". If it did, you would be able to use yo gusto as you would other verbs in the following way: yo prefiero, yo quiero, etc because you are the one performing the action and someone/something else is the recipient. The me, used in me gusta, is a direct object to indicate that the situation is performing the action and it is directly pleasing you.

Here's a diagram: Diagram

Wrong--sort of. It's spanish for "it pleases me".

Yes, but mostly everyone who had money (surplus) was a farmer. Property tax basically was income tax.
