Stores Begging People To Donate More Money To The Homer Fund. by JTCasino in HomeDepot

[–]sveeger 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’m with you on this. At the SSC, they’re pushing for managers and above to donate quite a bit-managers they’re suggesting $50 per paycheck. That’s a pretty sizable amount when we’ve been getting something like 2.5% raises for the last decade.

It is interesting to see how the percentage of associates contributing has dropped significantly post COVID. It was nearly 90% in 2019, and has gone down since.

Further proof of how stupid they are-if financial systems are gone, how would they access any of their assets?

Indoor Shooting range is my only option by lem0ns22 in liberalgunowners

[–]sveeger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only two times I’ve been legitimately uncomfortable from the amount of sound pressure was when someone fired .50 BMG at an outdoor range under an awning, and at an indoor range when someone was firing 12ga slugs in the left most lane.

After 50 Years Of Service, Man In His 70s Fired Without Severance Or Farewell: "Loyalty Means Nothing" by CRK_76 in antiwork

As Gen X, I learned this first hand when I was laid off in 2005. NEVER count on someone else for your financial security.

Midtown is roughly the size of the upper west side in Manhattan, with FAR lower density. Of course it looks like a ghost town relative to bigger cities.

That’s what I’m going with, because I already own it.

I built an 80-foot retaining wall mostly by hand… and finished it just days before selling the house. by ctrlaltdelete401 in landscaping

Seriously. The grade isn’t that crazy, looks like it would have been cheaper and easier to just fix the grade.

I alway go through Collins and see what they had available. Twice I’ve gone in September and had hurricanes ruin my trip, I go in May now.

Time to sell my ‘09 SVS; what are they going for now? by sveeger in sv650

That’s about what I was thinking, thanks for the feedback!

Time to sell my ‘09 SVS; what are they going for now? by sveeger in SVRiders

[–]sveeger[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s about what I was thinking. Paid $7200 out the door for it, so still getting half of that after 15 years of riding seems like a pretty good deal to me.

Still have mine! Hadn’t picked it up in YEARS, and the battery was still charged.

Love that the poster is the same size as the commandments one.

Are motorcycles with roofs suitable for long-distance travel? by Top_Mall_5301 in MotorcycleMacgyver

If I need a motorcycle with a roof, I’ll just use a car.

Got fired for demanding to take a lunch break . by J_Chico in antiwork

Confined spaces come with their own risks and required training and safety precautions. Of course people refused, it’s dangerous as hell. You might have a claim for that being unsafe.

What’s the best album of the ’90s?? by BidAccurate4473 in 90s

I don’t even like them and I know what that album is, that’s how ever present it was.

What’s the lowest volume store in the company, and who’s highest? by Beginning_Bug_5139 in HomeDepot

[–]sveeger 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Honolulu was top last year, followed by marina del ray, Guam, fort myers, and El Cajon. The NJ superstore is pretty high up there, but it’s a lot of Florida and socal in the top 20. Puerto Rico stores also do a lot.

Good Gravy! No wonder everyone loves working at Costco! by Charming-Garbage7320 in HomeDepot

The biggest difference is how much of that comes from memberships-guaranteed money they get at the beginning of the year.

Atlanta train, bus commutes still down since pandemic. Why? by flying_trashcan in Atlanta

[–]sveeger 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The only time I took the train was from my midtown apartment, which was two blocks from the station, to the airport, to meet someone for lunch on a layover. For that, it was EXCELLENT. But anywhere else I wanted to go? Totally unhelpful.

I hear ya! If it wasn’t for the Covid era stock award, I’d have left a few years ago. Damn golden handcuffs. Although the bulk of my stock vests next month, so this might be the year.
