My brother just had a kid two weeks ago and he's draining his savings because his wife (a kindergarten teacher) won't be working for four months and they've got nothing in place to pay her despite her being unionized. idk wtf.

c late j s: Our team chud got tired of people ignoring him from another team so he went straight to their manager. The other has now very politely told my team lead that they no longer need help.

She teaches at the school I went to as a kid and she's making $43K a year to teach despite holding a masters.

My brother manages IT poo poo at Bloomsburg University and makes $53K.

Very cool

One of my other brothers worked for Geisinger Health Plan and just jumped ship from a $65K job to make $105K as a consultant. 100% remote.

there was a girl in our rave kid circle who openly yelled "all i wanna do is get knocked up" and my brother hooked up with her for a couple months and i was like, dear god, don't get stupid dude

fortunately he figured out what was up. he has a nice gf now and they have no kids and they seem happy so at least one branch of my family tree was successful

I would love to work on some big-rear end WANs but I fuckin hate being on call. especially if it was for some big CDN where if I’m getting a phone call it means half the world can’t reach some giant social media platform or whatever

fuuuuuuck that

the lower ranks of cdn support roles let you go home and not be on call, but once you get to like, a service manager position or dedicated client support of course your cell is in their cell etc.

i mean you can still make ok money without being on call but not great, and i dont think anywhere in the hierarchy you'll make GREAT money until you branch off and either do solutions eng/eng support etc type stuff for the hard complex stuff

also: they're hiring. if you can show proficiency in a linux and know how http works and the layers 1-3, 7 of hte OSI model, then you're good to go

and a joint parental leave that is

1 year @ 80%

china offers 98 days at 100% as a base minimum and different places are allowed to extend that. shenzhen where i live mandates an additional 80 days, so 178

only 2 weeks of paternity leave tho

a thing that's often glossed over with european welfare is payment caps. sometimes they are good (63k/year unemployment assistance cap in latvia, where minimum salary is 430 euro/month), sometimes they are bad (58k/year unemployment assisstance cap in luxembourg, where minimum salary is 2100 euro/year)

i'm extremely glad i didn't have to put up with that poo poo at home. my Mom and Dad believed me right from the beginning when i said i didn't want kids

i've actually had more poo poo from total strangers about it than friends and family. absolute worst was a nurse who went on about how much better my life would be with children, she finally shut up when i told her i had a vasectomy already lol.
