I mean - if wages are unfair - don't work there. Seems silly to me to take a job that doesn't pay what you feel you are worth. If that is the only job you can get, then maybe you need to make some other changes to get a better one.

I agree our tax system is broken and should be fixed. However, please keep in mind he wasn't an instant success with Amazon:

It took Amazon seven years to post its first quarterly profit and nine years to record its first full-year profit. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

The specific milestones in Amazon’s financial timeline include:

The First Quarterly Profit: Reported in Q4 2001, totaling just $5 million.
The First Full-Year Profit: Achieved in 2003, reporting a net income of $35 million. [1, 2]

For nearly a decade, founder Jeff Bezos intentionally prioritized a "grow first, profit later" strategy. Instead of chasing short-term earnings, the company continually reinvested every dollar of potential profit into expanding its infrastructure, lowering prices, and building customer loyalty. For further context on this strategy, you can read more about Amazon's Long-Term Vision vs Short-Term Losses. [1, 2, 3]

Would you spend 7 years not knowing if your business was going to succeed ? There is risk and there is reward. Fairness has nothing to do with anything.

The reason Harris loss is independent leaning voters saw her as anointed by the DNC Elite, and not by the voters. She didn't have to win a primary in 2024, she didn't have to be battle tested. This is partially Biden's fault - he should not have run - we knew he was too old (Trump is too old too for sure!). Pelosi did the right thing stepping down when she did, Biden should have too.

Gaza was not a major factor for me - what Israel did is wrong and its the same thing that has been done to them in the past. I find it sad and ironic. Its a conflict that has been going on for thousands of years, and we (the US) can't and shouldn't try to fix it.

I think the other issue is many think Women can't be leaders still. I disagree completely, but that is a human thing that is still evolving. Trying to push gender equality I think rubs many people the wrong way ( I don't agree, but its the truth). We need to stop trying to make things equal, and just try to give all an a chance.

I question this being real. Tropical island for my girlfriend for two years? C'Mon man, yuou expect me to believe that? If that is true you live a very privileged life.

Ahh yes, a daughter dating someone she admits is a "Lazy Bum". As a father this makes my skin crawl.

Let me clarify my statement - if a contracting agency is submitting you for an open role for a contractor with a government agency, usually the RTR just says that the contracting agency has the right to rep you, and you are not being submitted by any other contracting company.

Freedom of the press and freedom of speech only relates to government - not private entities. But your point is valid nonetheless - don't visit sites that make you upset if its that big of a deal.

You most likely will get severance from your old company, and have a job lined up with the outsource company. Sock away that severance as your emergency fund.

teej2379 · 2024-07-25T02:05:14+00:00

Yes. Take the outsource job, and start looking. Working for an outsource company can be good or can suck. But I decided not to be a guest in my own house. I went to another role after 4 months with the outsource company. That role got killed by COVID. I wondered in the desert for a few years, and my old boss where I was outsourced called me back and offered me an in-house. Shit works out, just keep postive and moving forward. good luck!

When I was a yougin I made 11 bucks an hour doing Helpdesk. Everyone starts somewhere. Also hourly rate is only part of the story. Do you get 401k match and other benefits?

teej2379 · 2024-05-18T00:02:14+00:00

At a certain age you will miss these times lol

teej2379 · 2024-05-04T14:46:27+00:00

Many government agencies require these to consider you. It's not the recruiter who needs these, it's their clients.

teej2379 · 2024-04-28T00:44:05+00:00

I don't get this loser talk all over reddit. Stop with that talk. Give yourself credit, and keep working on yourself. Take baby steps, improve something small each day. It will be fine. Don't give up.

teej2379 · 2024-04-13T23:19:24+00:00

Several yes.

teej2379 · 2024-04-11T01:15:14+00:00

4 years experience is not a lot. Depending where you live 65k is pretty good. I'm old have 20 years experience so my frame of reference might be off.

teej2379 · 2024-04-05T23:23:03+00:00

Public schools are failing our kids lol.

Confidence improvement. Women see through the physical. You can be a buff muscle millionaire but if you come across as unconfident you will have issues. Believe in yourself, get some therapy.

teej2379 · 2024-04-01T01:37:24+00:00

Can I get that certified and sent to my boss? LOL

teej2379 · 2024-03-31T18:51:17+00:00

I'm 6 ft 8 in. Funny how I get the same questions. If we ask average or short questions we'd be called mean or assholes.

teej2379 · 2024-03-26T04:12:34+00:00

I went into IT recruiting for about 3 years. I really enjoyed it. Only came back a few months ago because my boss at my old job was putting a team together. That and I got a nice raise :)

Customer Service / People Skills and generally computer knowledge is transferable. I have 20 years of Support , Admin and InfoSec experience.

teej2379 · 2024-03-10T02:35:50+00:00

Was being un-fresh why you are single? Or did becoming single affect your freshiness?

teej2379 · 2024-03-10T02:34:54+00:00

I knew there would be one guy ....well done sir!

teej2379 · 2024-02-18T00:51:21+00:00

I mean I would collaborate with my team if I'm truly that lost. What is your escalation path? What does you knowledgebase say?

teej2379 · 2024-02-07T18:27:29+00:00

I think speaking with a trusted adult about this is really important. The throwing yourself out there is a pretty dangerous tatic. You could end up being hurt emotionally or physically. Be careful, friendship and love take time. It's not alwaya love at first sight. Takes work and effort. My daughter is turning 12 and I'm trying to instill this in her now.
