yeah but who the gently caress actually counts that as part of what they 'make' unless they are super insecure about it? It's not like you're ever seeing that money except maybe if you a little back as a tax return.

like if I was going to disparage someone for only making $2k a month I wouldn't be like 'lol you make $35k a year' I'd say 'lol you barely make more than $20k a year.' Not that I would because that poo poo is dumb anyway happiness isn't dependent on how much spending money you have.

ummm literally everybody ever refers to gross income when they say "I make $x" or "that job pays $x", because that's what the employer actually pays out. Take-home pay has little comparative value because everybody's tax situation is different

I'm guessing you've never had a salaried job before?

take home pay is all that matters. 'little comparative value' and yet your real wages and purchasing power is all about how much money you actually have in your pocket, not how much you are theoretically making if it wasn't for taxes.

I realize most people give out their net income, and you can refer to my post about how they are insecure about the amount of money they make regarding that.

Does the HR department negotiate net salaries with new employees?

That we can agree on since the whole point is you can't deduce gross from net without knowing someones personal situation.

don't have salaried employees but if we did obviously we'd negotiate salary as normal but don't pretend like 3 out of 12 months of that salary ever reaches your bank account when you tell other people how much money you have.

Generally speaking take home pay is about 2/3 of salary paid, so taking home $2000/month correlates to a salary of around $35,000. Not sure why you decided to sperg out about my post of all things, but I hope this helps

I'd loving love to be a stay at home dad, but I married an educator so unless she gets a swanky ivy league gig or something I'm pretty sure I have to work for a paycheck.
